Let me answer your first question. Of course, the keyboard is used when playing, which is expressive and tense. Secondly, as a sound source and timbre synthesizer, the synthesizer mainly synthesizes timbre, depending on your purpose. If you want to make music and compose music, then MIDI keyboard+computer+several softwares is ok, but the effect is not as good as a good synthesizer. It is essential for top musicians to be music synthesizers.

Second, there are essential differences between the two in many cases. A top-class synthesizer can accomplish many tasks, including life synthesis and life chorus, which are difficult to complete only by computer and must be assisted by hardware.

Third, if you only use a computer to do it, where does your sound source come from, DOWN? You need a lot of memory, or you need a hard audio source for convenience. As for software, it's similar. CUBASE is a very good one recently.

Fourth, hundreds of people can buy a MIDI keyboard, which is only used to input signals. Entry-level synthesizer, then 4000 has 1. More than 5W is good, so I won't introduce it much.

To sum up, you need to be clear about your purpose. My suggestion is that you can buy an arranger keyboard first. You have to know that the synthesizer itself is silent, and you have to connect the speaker, and the speaker has to monitor the level. Think about money. Multimedia speakers are ok, just a few hundred pieces, but what are the highlights of the synthesizer? It's timbre! Is to make timbre! So you can buy an arranger keyboard, connect a computer, make music, and use it as a hard audio source in combination with software. In short, you must be clear about your purpose!
