Many people will buy a battery run toy keyboard rather than an electronic keyboard. More often than not the reason is safety and price. Obviously a toy version is much cheaper than an electronic version but if you are really into keyboards then electronic is something you should consider. Here we will discuss the very Special sound technicalities that you can produce while using these particular types of instruments.
Generally a keyboard of the electronic type has the following qualities. There is something called a touch response along with an after touch effect. The touch response is actually a touch sensitivity that these keyboards express when played hard or soft.
This quality enables the player to produce prolonged and short, deep and mild sounds on the same note. It all depends on the pressure and the duration for which you are holding a particular key. The after touch is also of a similar type where you can modulate the sound depending on the pressure applied on any single key.
Then there is the polyphony, denoting the total number of sounds that you can play at any one time. Usually, the lower priced children’s keyboards play only one single note at a time while on the more expensive professional types you can play many tones at the same time. A maximum of ten notes can be played at one time in any high end electronic keyboard.
After this we come to multi timbre, rhythm, tempo and the split point. The multi timbre feature allows you to play many types of instruments at the same time. For example, you can play the piano, violin and the harmonium all at the same time, this is multi timbre. When using the tempo control, you just decide which rhythm you want and what speed you need, it’s simple.
You can slow down as well as quicken with a touch of a button. With the split point however, you can actually split your keys into two different sections where each section plays a different instrument from the other. Say twelve keys play the piano while the rest play the mandolin. This is possible only with an electronic keyboard and you might find you can buy one for about the same price as a toy piano.
