Roger Linn Design LinnStrument 128 ($999)Īsking similar questions as the Seaboard, but from a slightly different angle, Roger Linn’s LinnStrument 128 is a keyboard that’s also a guitar neck that’s also a sequencer and a lot more. It’s like having a piano that can play the entire orchestra. This programming can then be applied to other controls like faders or knobs (arranged on your keyboard in a manner not dissimilar to a car’s dashboard), and mapped to essentially any parameter. The synth does the rest of the work from there. The basics are as follows: you press down a key on a MIDI keyboard, which sends information to your computer or synthesizer-at a minimum, it transmits which note is played, when it’s turned on and off, and how hard you strike the key (aka velocity). Developed in the early ’80s as a way to universally synchronize synthesizers and drum machines, its simplicity and elegance have kept it in use for almost 40 years, with a 2.0 version introduced remarkably only earlier this year. MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the near-ubiquitous communications protocol used in hardware and software alike. “The way I want any home studio to function is… as fast as I can think of an idea I want to be able to articulate it.” What is a MIDI Keyboard?
“To me it’s all about immediacy” says Billie Eilish producer Finneas, in an interview with AWAL.

And with the leaps-and-bounds increase in quality of software synths, plugins, and digital audio workstations like Ableton Live, Logic, Pro Tools and other similar programs, plus the oft-overwhelming abundance of free effects and sample packs, a customizable workflow may be the most powerful tool you have.
