You’ll occasionally hear skeptics and curmudgeons badmouthing electronic music. These are the same people who draw a sharp distinction between organic rock and roll and everything that has come after. To them, anything prerecorded is useless in a live setting. Fortunately, history is not on their side. Krautrock legends Kraftwerk released their seminal album “Autobahn” back in the ’70s, forever blurring the line between electronic music and standard rock.

More recently, Radiohead went into the studio with Nigel Godrich in preparation for 2000’s “Kid A” – a record that turned out to be a dramatic departure from their pop-heavy rock roots. As rock and electronic genres become more and more intertwined, it pays to have experience with discount electronic keyboards. These instruments can be played in a number of tones and styles, and they can also record your sonic experiments as you go.
