Whether your rockin' it out on stage, jamming in a jazz band, or smashing it out in a musical, it's not enough to know where to put your fingers: modern pianists need to know their Rhodes from their Wurlitzer, their Hammond from their Vox, and lord knows they need to know their FX!

This is the book written for modern pianists - in it we cover:

- KEYBOARD TYPES: understanding the differences between a clonewheel, stage piano, workstation, and synth and tips on building your keyboard rig

- BASIC SOUND DESIGN: programming basics including choosing character, shaping tone, and applying FX

- COMPLEX SOUND DESIGN: creating keyboard patches with splits/layers and utilising pedals and controllers

- EXAMPLES AND PLAYLISTS: audio examples of each instrument and FX type, and access to our curated playlists highlighting different instruments and FX
