Welcome to this website about arranger keyboards and rhythms.
This website is a place where you can now and in the future find information about various arranger keyboards, with a special focus on the styles and rhythms they offer.
What you hear here are simple chord progressions that I play using the rhythms of each keyboard. I deliberately do not play any melody, so the full attention goes to the rhythm, accompaniment, and overall character of the instrument. This gives you a clearer idea of what an arranger keyboard is really capable of in that area.
When I was looking to buy a new arranger keyboard myself, I noticed how difficult it was to find good examples of the available rhythms. On YouTube, there is usually very little to be found, and when something does show up, it is often just a few short fragments of around ten seconds, all played at a standard tempo and with the same common chords. That gives you a first impression, but in reality, you still hear very little.
That is exactly why this website was created.
At the moment, I own arranger keyboards from Yamaha, Roland, Korg, Casio, Medeli, and Startone. In the future, more brands and models may be added. Step by step, I want to build this website into a useful and well-organized collection for anyone who wants to get to know arranger keyboards better.
This website is not intended as a commercial project. I am not being paid for this, and I am not a professional musician either. I simply do this because I enjoy it. The purpose of this website is therefore not really to sell songs, but rather to provide informative demos that let you hear which rhythms are available on specific arranger keyboards.
I record the demo tracks through a Roland Rubix22 audio interface into the computer. Afterwards, I finish them in Ableton Live 12 and master them with Ozone 12 Advanced. Please keep in mind that this can improve and change the sound compared to how the instrument sounds directly on its own. Also, you are not hearing the recordings through the keyboard’s built-in speakers. The actual sound of the instrument itself therefore also depends heavily on the quality of its internal speakers, which can vary greatly depending on the price range.
The website is still in an early stage, so there is not a huge amount of content yet. However, over the coming years, I hope to gradually build up a nice collection of arranger keyboards and rhythm demos.
If you are interested in a keyboard and especially want to explore the rhythms and styles it offers, then you are in the right place.
