A keyboard and a synthesizer are both musical instruments that you play using a keyboard, but they serve different purposes.

1. Keyboard: This is a general term that covers any instrument that has keys. It is often used to describe electronic organs, stage pianos, and other weighted and unweighted key instruments. A keyboard is mainly used to input notes into a system, it doesn’t generate sounds by itself. Instead, it relies on built-in sounds from a computer, smartphone, tablet, or other devices.

2. Synthesizer: A synthesizer is a specific type of keyboard that can generate sounds electronically. It uses various wave forms, filters, envelopes, and LFOs to create a wide range of sounds. Synthesizers can be used to mimic other instruments, create new sounds, or modify existing ones. They are often used in electronic music, film scoring, and sound design due
