49 Keys

This synthesiser features a compact 49-key keyboard, striking a balance between portability and functionality. It’s an excellent choice for musicians who need a versatile instrument for both studio and live performances. The reduced key count makes it easier to transport, while still offering enough range for melodies, chords, and expressive playing. Perfect for producers, keyboardists, and performers alike, this instrument is designed for creativity on the go.

Controller

This product functions as a MIDI controller, designed to give you hands-on control over your digital audio workstation (DAW) and virtual instruments. With features like velocity-sensitive keys, customisable pads, knobs, and sliders, this controller allows for expressive performance and precise control, making it a versatile tool for studio production or live performances.

Midi

MIDI, which stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a technical standard that enables electronic musical instruments, computers, and other devices to communicate with each other. It allows for the transmission of musical data such as note messages, control signals, and synchronization commands between compatible devices. MIDI data does not contain actual audio; instead, it contains instructions for generating sound, controlling parameters, and sequencing musical events. This versatile protocol has revolutionized music production by facilitating seamless integration between different hardware and software components, enabling musicians, producers, and composers to create, manipulate, and perform music with unprecedented flexibility and precision

New

This product is brand new, unused, and in its original packaging. It has never been opened or used, ensuring you receive it in pristine, factory-sealed condition, just as originally manufactured.

It is ideal for those who want the assurance of a fresh start with their gear.

Professional

A **professional synthesizer** is a high-quality instrument designed to meet the demanding needs of musicians, producers, and sound designers in professional settings. These synthesizers offer advanced features, robust build quality, and versatile sound engines capable of creating a vast array of tones. Professional synths typically include comprehensive modulation options, multiple oscillators, and high-quality effects, allowing users to shape and refine their sounds with precision. They often have premium components such as velocity-sensitive, aftertouch-enabled keyboards, durable encoders, and high-resolution screens for detailed editing. Brands like Nord, Moog, Roland, and Korg are known for producing professional-grade synthesizers that are trusted in live performance, studio recording, and sound design for films and games.

These synthesizers often come with extensive connectivity options, including MIDI, USB, and audio outputs, to integrate seamlessly into complex setups. Additionally, professional synths provide a range of synthesis methods—such as subtractive, FM, wavetable, granular, and physical modeling—offering musicians and producers the flexibility to explore various soundscapes. Their sound engines are designed to deliver rich and expressive tones, with deep control over parameters, making them suitable for complex arrangements or performances. Essentially, a professional synth is built for reliability, expressiveness, and adaptability, catering to those who need top-tier sound and performance capabilities in their creative work.

USB

Having a USB connection provides crucial benefits for modern musicians and producers, primarily related to connectivity and workflow. USB enables a direct link between the synthesizer and a computer, making it possible to transmit MIDI data seamlessly without relying on traditional 5-pin MIDI cables. This connection allows the synth to function as a MIDI controller, sending and receiving MIDI signals to and from a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). As a result, musicians can easily sequence and record their synth performances, automate parameters, or even use the synth to control virtual instruments within the DAW. This streamlined setup saves time and reduces the amount of cabling and interfaces required, creating a more efficient studio or performance environment.

In addition to MIDI capabilities, USB ports on synthesizers often support data transfer and software updates. This means users can back up and restore patches, download new firmware updates to add features or improvements and manage their sounds with dedicated software. For some portable or compact synths, USB connections also offer a convenient power source, allowing the synth to draw power directly from a computer or USB battery pack. This combination of data management, connectivity, and power makes USB-equipped synthesizers a versatile and practical choice for musicians seeking flexibility and ease of use in their setups.
