From Synths to Samplers: We Have Keyboards for Every Musician

Keyboardists aren't locked into any one path; neither is our piano keyboard collection. AMS has every kind of keyboard you could ask for, giving players and producers the freedom to choose the tools that match their sound. Here is a look at the options you'll find.

Synthesizers

A synthesizer keyboard opens the door to endless sound design. From vintage analog tones to futuristic textures, synths let you create unique voices for the studio or the stage.

Workstations

Workstations are full production hubs. They combine sequencing, sound libraries, and performance tools so you can write, arrange, and perform without leaning on a computer.

Arrangers

Arranger keyboards give solo players a big-band feel. With built-in backing tracks and accompaniment tools, they keep your music full and dynamic.

Beat Production

Beat production tools put drums, samples, and sequencing at your fingertips. They're perfect for producers who want to sketch tracks quickly and keep ideas flowing.

Controllers

MIDI controllers expand your software world. Rather than making sound, they give you hands-on control over virtual instruments and DAWs, making software feel like hardware.

Digital Pianos

A digital piano keyboard captures the feel of an acoustic with the convenience of portability. They come standard with weighted keys and an authentic tone for practice, performance, or home use.

Organs

Modern organs bring classic drawbar sounds into the present. They carry the warmth and character that shaped rock, jazz, and gospel while adding today’s flexibility.

Samplers

Samplers let you record sounds, slice them up, and turn them into playable instruments. They are the creative playground for experimental players and producers.
