Keyboards

We look at the technology and terminology that underpins all keyboard instruments.

How do I set up my synth collection and computer? I already have everything going through the mixer so I can record audio, but want to have everything working through MIDI...

I seem to be the only person in the world who wants an unfussy, weighted stage piano, with — at most — 73 keys. What might you suggest?

I don't have a lot of space or money, but I'm desperate to find a keyboard that I can use for fun and, possibly, for recording...

I am in a band that plays live every week. Is there a keyboard out there that concentrates primarily on piano, electric piano, clav and other funky sounds that you would generally want to use in modern tunes?

I've read some conflicting opinions about the Mellotron. Surely if tape loops are used, the sound would sustain indefinitely. Can you put the record straight?
