🎹 Overview: what a synthesizer is
🎵 A versatile instrument
Many voices, styles and effects in one body. It plays piano, organ, strings, winds and synth sounds. Built-in speakers, mains or battery power. Suitable for learning, home, pop and production.
🆚 Synth or digital piano
A synth — variety of sounds, auto-accompaniment, a lighter keyboard (61/76). A digital piano — 88 weighted hammer keys and a piano feel. For versatility and learning — a synth; for academic piano — a digital piano.
🎚️ Auto-accompaniment
A built-in 'band'. Play a chord and the synth plays rhythm, bass and harmony in a chosen style (pop, rock, jazz, latin). It makes even simple playing full. The key advantage of arranger models.
🎓 Learning
Learning modes and lighted keys prompt notes, grade your playing and include a song library. They motivate children and speed up the first steps. They don't replace a teacher but make practice more engaging.
🎛️ Synthesizer types
🌱 For beginners and children
Simple, affordable, compact. 44–61 keys, basic voices and styles, learning features. Casio SA/CT-S, junior Yamaha PSR-F/PSR-E. For first steps and getting to know music.
🏠 Arranger (home)
Many styles and voices, quality auto-accompaniment. 61/76 keys, touch-sensitive keyboard, recording. Yamaha PSR-E/PSR-EW, Casio CT-X. The most popular choice for home and learning.
💡 Lighted-key learning
The keys light up to show what to press; step-by-step lessons. Casio LK, Yamaha EZ. Great motivation for children and adult beginners.
🎚️ Workstations and professional
Sequencer, samples, deep sound editing. Korg Kross/Pa, Yamaha MODX/PSR-SX, Roland Fantom/Juno. For creating compositions, studio and stage.
🔊 Analog / digital synths
Sound synthesis from scratch. Korg Minilogue, Roland, Behringer, Arturia. A focus on timbre, filters and control — for production, electronic music and stage.
🎤 Entertainment with a microphone
Karaoke and singing along to accompaniment. A microphone input, voice through the speakers (some Casio, Kurzweil, Alesis). For home parties and family fun.
🎹 Keyboard: number and type of keys
🔢 Number of keys
44–49 — children's, compact. 61 (5 octaves) — the most popular for home and learning. 76 — for more complex repertoire and organ. 88 — a full piano keyboard.
👆 Touch-sensitive keyboard
Responds to how hard you press — louder/brighter, like a piano. Important for expressive playing and technique. The cheapest models can lack sensitivity — for learning, better with it.
⚙️ Action type
Synth/organ keys — light and fast (for solo, auto-accompaniment). Weighted hammer keys — like a piano (on 88-key workstations and digital pianos). Choose by playing style.
🎛️ Pitch / mod wheel
Pitch/Modulation wheels on advanced and professional models let you bend notes and add vibrato — for expressive solo playing and synth parts.
⭐ Key features
🎼 Voices and styles
Hundreds of voices (piano, organ, strings, winds, synths) and auto-accompaniment styles for every genre. The more quality voices and styles, the wider the possibilities.
🎵 Polyphony
32 — minimum; 48–64 — comfortable for amateurs; 128+ — for complex arrangements and layering. More polyphony means notes don't get cut off during active accompaniment and pedal use.
🎙️ Recording and effects
A built-in recorder for your own parts, effects (reverb, chorus, DSP), an equalizer. Advanced models let you create and save your own pieces.
🎓 Learning modes
Lessons, lighted keys, playing assessment, a song library. They help beginners and children; a Duo mode splits the keyboard for playing with a teacher.
🎯 How to choose a synthesizer
👤 By level and goal
Child/first steps → 61 keys, touch-sensitive, learning features. Amateur/home → an arranger 61/76. Production/stage → a workstation or synth.
🎹 Keyboard
For learning and expression — a touch-sensitive keyboard (essential). 61 keys are enough for most; more complex repertoire — 76/88.
🎚️ Features
Need a 'band' and karaoke → rich auto-accompaniment and a microphone input. Recording and production → a sequencer, USB-MIDI, high polyphony.
🎒 Portability
To carry to rehearsals → a light model with battery operation and a bag. Stationary at home → a heavier workstation with a stand is fine.

❓ Frequently asked questions
How does a synth differ from a digital piano?
A synth — many voices, auto-accompaniment styles, a lighter keyboard (usually 61/76), built-in speakers; versatile for arrangements, learning and pop. A digital piano — 88 weighted hammer keys and piano sound as the priority, for academic playing. Choose by goal.
How many keys should it have?
44–49 — children's/compact; 61 (5 octaves) — the most popular for home and learning; 76 — for more complex repertoire and organ; 88 — a full piano keyboard. For starting, 61 is optimal; for serious piano — 76/88 or a digital piano.
Do I need a touch-sensitive keyboard?
Yes, for learning and expressive playing — it responds to how hard you press, like a piano. The cheapest models can lack sensitivity (for the very first steps or background). Most synths from 61 keys up have several sensitivity levels.
What is auto-accompaniment and styles?
A built-in 'band': play a chord and the synth plays rhythm, bass and harmony in a chosen style (pop, rock, jazz, latin). It makes simple playing full, helps you accompany and learn. A key advantage of Yamaha PSR and Casio CT-X.
How much polyphony do I need?
32 — minimum; 48–64 — comfortable for amateurs; 128+ — for complex arrangements and layering. More polyphony means notes don't get cut off during active accompaniment and pedal use.
Which synth for a child/beginner?
A preschooler — 44–49 (sometimes mini) keys to learn notes. For study — 61 keys with a touch-sensitive keyboard and learning features (Yamaha PSR-E, Casio CT-S/CT-X). Lighted keys (Casio LK) help a lot. We'll suggest by age.
What do learning features give you?
Lessons break the melody up, wait for the correct note, grade playing, show fingering; lighted keys show what to press; there's a song library. It doesn't replace a teacher but speeds up first steps and motivates children.
Can I connect it to a computer, headphones, a pedal?
Yes. USB/MIDI — to a computer/tablet for recording and apps; a headphone output for quiet playing; a sustain pedal input; sometimes a microphone and audio. Check a specific model's connectors.
What's in the box and what to add?
Usually a power adapter and music rest; sometimes a stand/pedal. People often add a stand, bench, sustain pedal, headphones, a bag. We assemble it turnkey for your budget.
Arranger, workstation or analog?
Arranger (Yamaha PSR, Casio CT-X) — auto-accompaniment and styles for home/pop. Workstation (Korg Kross, Yamaha MODX) — sequencer and composition. Analog synth (Korg Minilogue, Roland) — sound synthesis for production and stage.
Are there synths with a microphone and karaoke?
Yes, some entertainment models have a mic input and karaoke (some Casio, Kurzweil, Alesis Harmony). You sing to the auto-accompaniment with voice through the speakers. Check for a mic input on the chosen model.
Which brands do you offer?
Yamaha (PSR-E/EW/SX, MODX), Casio (CT-S, CT-X, LK), Korg (Kross, Pa, Minilogue), Roland (Juno-DS, GO:KEYS, Fantom), plus Kurzweil, Alesis, Behringer, Arturia. From children's to professional. We'll suggest by level and budget.
