Keyboard
A keyboard is a musical instrument that has a series of keys arranged in a specific pattern. When a key is pressed, a mechanism inside the keyboard generates a sound. Keyboards can produce a wide variety of sounds, including piano, organ, synth, and others.
Keyboards can be used in a variety of musical genres, from classical to pop to electronic music. They are popular among musicians and hobbyists alike due to their versatility and relatively low cost compared to other musical instruments.
Electronic Keyboard: These keyboards use electronic circuitry to generate sound. They often have a variety of voices, rhythms, and other features.
MIDI Keyboard: MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) keyboards are designed to control other electronic instruments, such as synthesizers and digital audio workstations. They do not produce sound on their own.
In music, there are primarily two types of keyboards:
