Looking for Learning instrument (keyboard, synths, etc...)

[bApTizE]

Hello all;

 

My first post here. This forum was highly recommended by a friend of mine.

 

I'm looking for an instrument (Keys, Synths or another type of keyboard) that would hookup to an iPad or Computer. Then, the iPad or the Computer would have a tutor software that would guide me to learn/compose songs "I ask for this feature because I'm type of person that would easily get bored and give up if there are no fun in doing something:-)" this software is pretty much like Guitar Hero but with keyboard or something similar to keyboard.

 

Please share your input.

Thank you.

There are lots of apps. Any keyboard with a usb midi connector will do. IK Multimedia has a controller that plugs directly into either an iPad, mac or PC. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/ik-multimedia-irig-keys-lightning-with-sampletank-se/j09295000000000?cntry=us&source=3WWRWXGP&gclid=Cjw KCAiAqOriBRAfEiwAEb9oXaN2VgEewwvfy_2QqP5u-DfsWW1lltdPnjqIQ-LZcmL5_mK9Mf9CqBoCX6AQAvD_BwE Though you might want something with more keys. There are many 76- 88 Key keyboards that would work great. Yamaha makes the piagggero NP-32 https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/NP32WT--yamaha-piaggero-np-32-76-key-piano-with-speakers-white this would be my choice.

Keyboards is a large category of instruments that include piano, electric pianos, synths and organs. But the basics are exactly the same. My only suggestion is if you want to play piano, get cheap fully weighted on like the Casio PX-160, but its $500 https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PX160BK--casio-privia-px-160-digital-piano-black. Notice I started cheap and got progressively more expensive? It works that way, depending on what you want it can get expensive. Fortunately initial entry is still quite low.

 

As for apps again there are many. Playground Sessions seems popular https://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-...hoCMOsQAvD_BwE
