What You Need To Know About Beginner Electronic Keyboards
You can refer to an Electronics Keyboard as a digital keyboard and it is nothing but a musical instrument that features a keyboard. There is either one, or more than one electronic device, the purpose of which is to amplify or generate sound. It was in the eighties that they enjoyed the maximum amount of popularity and both new wave music and pop chartbusters of the eighties were played on Electronics Keyboards. However, thirty years on, this popularity hasn’t faded out and these keyboards have been able to hold on to their past popularity.
In current times what we mean by an Electronic Keyboard is very simple - it is a cheap and affordable entry level instrument that is targeted at children and amateurs. Nowadays, the term Electronic Keyboard is used as a sweeping term to refer to any kind of musical instrument that is electronic such as arranger keyboards, electronic organs, samplers, mellotrons, synthesizers, digital pianos, electric pianos and musical keyboards.
Professional musicians refer to the kinds of instruments described above as beginner keyboards if the price is low, within $200 to $400. But the higher end versions that feature more advanced features and which are also highly priced are referred to as arranger keyboards or workstations.
You should not really compare beginner keyboards with professional high end feature rich musical instruments, as they are lacking in many features, the quality of sound output is pretty mediocre and the size is also smaller and the price is also very affordable. Electronic Keyboards can be seen or are sold in toy stores, electronic stores along with video games and stereo systems.
However, many professional music artists often used these kinds of beginner keyboards to add a touch of novelty and even variety to their music and this was a phenomenon that was often repeated in the genre of reggae music in the eighties.

I want to start using a synthesizer, which should I choose?
I would like to start using a basic synth package to produce 'backing tracks' for me to play along with on my electric guitar. I like more blooz than any other music and a few synth samplers I've tried are not the kind of music which would suit me. I like the sounds on the Yamaha QY70/100, what synth might be best to start on, should I buy Cubase and a keyboard or what? Any Synthheads please?
Just buy MIDI keyboard and tweak with software synths. There are TONS of great tones, lots of them you can get free. And you will save substantially on a keyboard.
If you, however, need an instrument for live gigs - then it's another story. Rolands XP and RS series are doing great.
