| Abstract | This book offers fully update reviews of all polyphonic/monophonic synths, electric pianos and organs, home keyboards, string machines and music computers, including software. It has detailed information on almost every electronic keyboard produced since the MiniMoog, with see-at-a-glance fact sheet containing quality and value ratings alongside each review, as well as recommended retail prices. The book also includes a world-wide list of all electronic keyboard manufacturers and distributors, a MIDI guide, glossary, hints on amplification, and accessory guide. At the time of its release this book helped the reader find out how much they should be paying for their keyboard, discover if an instrument was available, when it was released, what it sounds and feels like, and whether it was worth buying, borrowing, or discarding. |
