Keyboards, synthesizers, and MIDI-based music creative tools are at the heart of contemporary music production, and GC Pro is the place to go when it’s time to add to your sonic arsenal.

Keyboard-based instruments go back to antiquity, with instruments like the harpsichord and pipe organs even predating the piano, which was created in 1700. But electronic keyboard instruments really took hold in pop music in the 1960s. With those early synth tools, the ability to make amazingly unique sounds was hampered by the temperamental nature of these instruments, with a difficult aspect of creating the same sound in the same way more than once. As time progressed, keyboard-based instruments became more predictable, with savable patches and preset sounds, but at the sacrifice of some of the more interesting creative possibilities. Today’s world of keyboard and MIDI-based tools offer the best of both worlds, with instruments that offer amazing flexibility in sound design along with a level of consistency that was never available in the early tools.

When you’re ready to buy a new keyboard, GC Pro will help you choose the perfect instrument that’s right for your musical style and is within your budget. You can speak to us in musical terms, telling us the genre of music you’re into and what keyboards have been on your wish list. Do you need to create completely new sounds? Do you need a bread-and-butter instrument that helps you deliver more traditional piano and organ performances? Are you looking for alternative methods of sound creation, such as touch pads, wind controllers and pedals? GC Pro can hep direct you to the perfect solution that will immediately add new dimensions to your creative power.

Keyboard and MIDI tools come in a wide range of size and performance abilities that are designed for different circumstances. For a small songwriting and production room, a tiny controller keyboard might be all you need to input notes for your music. For serious live performers, it might be that only an 88-key weighted keyboard will be right to accomplish the type of music you need to do. In all cases, GC Pro not only offers the best in all of these areas, but our experienced and knowledgable account managers can help direct you toward keyboard and MIDI products that are the right tools for any music maker.
