An electronic keyboard or digitalkeyboard is an electronic musical instrument, an electronic or digital derivative of keyboardinstruments. Broadly speaking, the term electronic keyboard or just a keyboard can refer to any type of digital or electronic keyboardinstrument. These include synthesizers, digital pianos, stage pianos, electronic organs and digitalaudio workstations. However, an electronic keyboard is more specifically a synthesizer with a built-in low-wattage power amplifier and small loudspeakers.
Electronic keyboards are capable of recreating a wide range of instrument sounds ( piano, electric piano, Hammond organ, pipe organ, violin, etc.) and synthesizer tones with less complex sound synthesis. Electronic keyboards are usually designed for home users, beginners and other non- professional users. They typically have unweighted keys. The least expensive models do not have velocity-sensitive keys, but mid- to high-priced models do. Home keyboards typically have little, if any, digital sound editing capacity. The user typically selects from a range of preset "voices" or sounds, which include imitations of many instruments and some electronic synthesizer sounds.
