Glossary
Pads
The number of pads provided in the design of the keyboard.
Pads are auxiliary controls in the form of characteristic pads, usually square. The pads respond to touch, each of them can be tied to a specific sound or even a sequence of sounds. One of the most popular ways to use pads is to play drums or other rhythmic instruments.

Regulators (encoders)
The number of encoder controlsprovided in the design of the keyboard.
Such a knob looks like a rotary knob, with which you can control various functions of the device to which the keyboard is connected — for example, turn the virtual knobs in the programme for recording and sound processing. At the same time, we note that a full-fledged encoder is capable of rotating 360 ° and turning to any angle in any direction, however, keyboards can also contain knobs with a limited rotation sector — they can also be called encoders. None of these options has a clear advantage: in some cases, an unlimited turning sector is more convenient, in others, a limited one.

Programming function
The ability to programme additional keyboard controls — buttons, pads, faders (see above), etc. — assigning them one or another function at your discretion. This feature allows you to optimally adjust the instrument to your needs and preferences. Note that the programming method can be different: most often you need to change the settings through a computer, but in some models this can also be done using built-in tools.
