A
Guide For Buying Music
Keyboards
How to
Buy Music
Keyboards
Nowadays,
no one but the wealthy and
serious concert players buy
pianos anymore. Music keyboards
have simply gotten too good to
resist.
Keyboard
music is more versatile and
interesting than ever, and the
possibilities will only continue
to grow. Buying a music keyboard
is not an easy thing, however.
With all of the dazzling
features, differing technologies,
and impressive layouts, it can be
difficult to pick out what you
need.
Without the
guidance of an expert, you could
end up with something not
suitable for your
purposes.
When I
bought my first musical keyboard,
I didn't really have a clue. I
knew that I wanted to be in a
rock band, but I didn't really
understand what that entailed.
The music keyboard that I bought
was pretty good in some respects.
It was a
midi-keyboard and was very nice
to have for composing music. The
challenge was that it didn't have
a lot of effects to choose. It
was a sort of home work station
music keyboard, not a performance
one.
Remember
the Moog?
When I
finally saved a little more
money, I started looking at Moog
keyboards. I knew that they made
some of the best music keyboards
– particularly for
electronic musicians.
I didn't
really need a touch sensitive
keyboard like you do in classical
music. I could control my
velocity with switches, and it
wouldn't show up in most of the
kind of music I was playing
anyway.
Classical
Music Keyboards
The funny
thing is that one of my good
friends actually had a completely
parallel experience with music
keyboards to me. Unlike me,
however, he was setting out to
study classical music.
The
Piano Keyboard
Synthesizer
He did some
research, went online, and bought
a pretty cool piano keyboard
synthesizer, but the instrument
couldn't accomplish a lot of the
things he needed for his type
music. The keys were not
weighted, and the triggers were
not so sensitive.
My friend
could do impressive things with
the layering and sampling, but he
couldn't practice concert piano.
As a result, his expensive foray
into music keyboards was for
nothing.
Trading
Keyboards for
Music
Fortunately,
we knew each other. We decided to
trade music keyboards. Our
keyboards were approximately
equivalent in price, and we both
had what the other needed.
He had a
really fancy electronic
synthesizer keyboard That was
great for playing live rock 'n
roll music. I had a touch
sensitive, midi keyboard that was
excellent for home recording and
concert piano.
Musically
Happy Ever After
We made the
switch, and were both happy with
what we got. Now he's studying
Beethoven and I'm playing rock 'n
roll. Imagine how we would sound
together?
