Common Keyboard Features



An electronic keyboard used by a common amateur and a musical synthesizer used by professional musicians conveys a great deal of difference. We can see that the former is mainly the economical sampler while the latter is an electronic instrument that is proficient in creating various sounds through the creation and arrangement of signals of different frequencies.

The sampler begins with numerous recording and plays them again in different sound configurations instead of starting from scratch and this makes it differ from a synthesizer. However, this is already more than enough for all children and most amateurs. Unlike the synthesizer wherein most of individuals won’t know what to do, the keyboard offers a wonderful deal of reasonably affordable entertainment for several people.

A lot of potential and awesome features make keyboard a great instrument. These given features of the keyboard may or may not be available on the given instrument; it depends mainly on the cost. The keyboard’s sound or music will air like a “true” instrument due to some features that allow the players to enhance their skills in controlling the duration and speed of the note. The feature that enables two instruments to be played at once which is very technical in nature and this in reality is a feature that can only be possible using two different instruments. The appeal of keyboard to the consumers is enhanced by including all its special features.

Mid and higher ranged type of keyboards typically include touch Sensitivity or Velocity (Touch Response) as one of the features. Unluckily, you cannot just find it on the very cheap keyboards available on the stores, so you have to save a bit if you want to buy such instrument with this feature. Keyboard is designed to imitate the piano, an instrument that has a great Velocity sensitivity at which their keys are hit. The sensitivity to Velocity creates softer notes for slower presses while louder notes for faster ones. The sensitivity and resultant note volumes are mimed out by the Touch Response.

Another usual feature is the after touch. After the key has been pressed, sound modulation is enabled and allows the pianist to put in effects such as return or fade. The amount of pressure applied to the key determines the effect that will be added. When the feature was firstly created, in the music of the late 1980s, such effects became very well known.

Pianos are also mimed in such a way by the keyboard as they can create polyphony effect. It is supposedly possible to key every single note at the same instance when using piano. Low-priced keyboards, on the other hand often, allow only playing a single note at a time particularly those designed for kids. You can key in a lot of notes, at times, greater than ten all at the same instance in more pricey keyboards that includes polyphony effect.

More than one type of instruments can be mimed by the keyboards and sometimes, far way beyond the piano instrument with its multi-timbre feature. Up to eight various instruments at once can be played by other keyboard models.

Chords, speed of rhythm and samples on electronic keyboards or auto generated content are determined by the tempo feature. The sample that the piano players wants to add on their music is easily accessible and they can also change the beat or the tempo consequently. This proves to be one of the common keyboard features being used often.
