Synthesizers
Most commonly heard in pop, hip-hop, and EDM, the synthesizer (synth) can bring sizzling lead melody lines, commanding bass, sparkling chords, lush pads, and driving rhythmic pulses to all sorts of different musical genres. With one of these, you aren't just pressing a key and settling for a stock sound - the beauty of a synthesizer is that you can control and make changes to absolutely every sonic parameter from start to finish. Knobs, faders, and switches allow you to initialize signals, combine or deconstruct them, and alter the fundamental building blocks to your heart's content! Some of the most innovative musical sounds in the past fifty years were born out of synths. You don't have to be a keyboard player to use one - join the guitarists, bassists, vocalists, drummers, DJs, and producers that are augmenting their music-making palettes by adding a keyboard synth, modular synth, or rackmount synth from American Musical Supply to your very own setup.
Keyboard Synthesizers for Players and Producers
From analog mono synths with hands-on knobs to polyphonic digital workstations loaded with sound engines, we carry keyboard synthesizers from Moog, Korg, Roland, Yamaha, Sequential, Arturia, and more. Whether you’re performing live, producing in the studio, or building your first synth setup, American Musical Supply has the keyboard synthesizer to match your workflow. All synths ship free with 0% interest financing available.
Choosing the Right Synth for Your Setup
If you’re a live performer, look for a keyboard synthesizer with fast patch recall, responsive keys, and a form factor that fits your stage rig. The Roland JUNO-D series and Korg's lineup offer quick sound access in portable formats. If you’re focused on sound design and production, instruments like the Moog Matriarch and Arturia MiniFreak provide deep modulation routing and hands-on control over every parameter.
For players who need piano-quality keybeds alongside synth sounds, weighted-action models like the Roland JUNO-D8 with its 88-key PHA-4 keybed serve both purposes. If you already have a MIDI controller, a desktop or rackmount synth module can save space and budget.
Types of Keyboard Synthesizers
Keyboard synthesizers fall into several categories based on how they generate sound. Analog synths use voltage-controlled oscillators and filters to create warm, organic tones favored for bass lines, leads, and textured pads. Digital synths use processors to generate sound through methods like FM synthesis, wavetable scanning, and sample playback, giving you access to a wider palette of tones with more polyphony. Hybrid models combine analog filters with digital oscillators to offer the character of analog with the flexibility of digital.
Workstation synths like the Yamaha Montage M series and the Roland Fantom series add multi-track sequencing, deep sound libraries, and sampling capabilities for complete music production without a computer.
Key Features to Compare
Polyphony determines how many notes you can play simultaneously. Monophonic synths play one note at a time and excel at bass lines and lead melodies. Polyphonic synths handle chords, pads, and layered sounds. Most modern keyboard synthesizers offer at least eight voices, with workstations often reaching 128 or higher.
Key count and action also matter. Synth-action keys are lighter and faster for quick runs, while semi-weighted keys add a bit of resistance for more dynamic control. Browse our full keyboard category to compare options across formats.
Software Synthesizers and Beyond
If you produce primarily in a DAW, our software synthesizers offer another path into sound design. Many players use a combination of a keyboard synthesizer for hands-on performance and software synths for expanded studio production. Whichever direction fits your creative process, American Musical Supply has the gear to support it.
Frequently Asked Questions About Keyboard Synthesizers
Do I need to know piano to play a synthesizer?
No. Many keyboard synthesizers are designed for sound design and production as much as traditional playing. Sequencers, arpeggiators, and preset patches let you create music without formal keyboard training.
What is the difference between a synthesizer and a keyboard workstation?
A synthesizer focuses on sound creation and manipulation using oscillators, filters, and modulation. A workstation adds built-in sequencing, large sound libraries, sampling, and multi-track recording tools, making it a more complete production platform.
Can I connect a keyboard synthesizer to my computer for recording?
Yes. Most modern keyboard synthesizers include USB or MIDI connectivity for sending audio and MIDI data to a DAW. Some models also feature built-in audio interfaces for direct recording.
