Questions about Keyboards

What is the difference between weighted and synth-action keys?

Weighted keys simulate the feel of an acoustic piano, offering resistance and a more realistic playing experience. Synth-action keys are lighter and faster, ideal for synth sounds and quicker playing styles.

What does 'polyphony' mean in the context of a keyboard?

Polyphony refers to the number of notes a keyboard can play simultaneously. Higher polyphony allows for more complex arrangements and richer sounds without notes cutting off.

What is a keyboard's 'sequencer' functionality?

A sequencer records and plays back sequences of notes and other musical events, allowing you to create patterns, melodies, and full song arrangements that can be edited and looped.
