A virtuoso handling of a musical instrument is not enough for a masterful performance. The right synthesizer should suit the musician's goals and playing style. A professional's tool is different from an amateur's tool.
Instructions
Step 1
Keyboard capabilities play a key role when choosing a synthesizer. The keyboard can be active or passive. Active is sensitive to pressure. For passive, the volume or timbre does not depend on the force of pressing the key. Synthesizers are classified on the basis of the keyboard: children's, standard, semi-professional, professional.
Step 2
For children, for children under 7 years old. Passive keys take ¾ from the piano keyboard. The instrument gives the child the opportunity to get the first skills of playing the keyboard and helps in the study of solfeggio. Such a synthesizer is also useful for professional musicians: it will help the performers to "sing", set the tone for the chorus.
Step 3
On standard synthesizers, the size of the keys matches the piano keys. The keyboard has 61 keys spanning 5 octaves. Used for both entertainment and professional play, some have built-in self-learning, recorded tunes, and backlighting. This helps amateurs learn how to play a variety of songs. You can record fairly complex pieces in MIDI format. These synthesizers have a passive keyboard.
Step 4
Semi-professional instruments have powerful sound and many functions. They can be used both on a small stage and in a home studio.
Step 5
Professional synthesizers have sound processing systems and are designed for studio or stage use. They have many settings that are unlikely to be useful for an amateur, but necessary for a professional.
Step 6
After choosing the type of synthesizer you want, look at the manufacturer of the musical instrument. Professional equipment is produced by manufacturers Yamaha and Casio. For fans, you can choose budget models with more or less decent sound: Roland, Korg.
