That is easier on the Fatar (whose keys also are a bit lighter). Otherwise, it is more on the 'doughy' side, and smooth playing is a bit difficult. When you pound on it for a while, your fingers / joints may hurt a bit. The P-80 has great dynamics and a sturdy construction, very precise, but quite a hard key bottom.

It somehow works, but I am looking for something better. Fatar should have omitted the 'pro' tag since this thing is rather rickety and really hasn't good velocity response. I have a Yamaha P-80 (discontinued, as mentioned by Doug) for live gigs (this is absolutely built like a tank and totally reliable) and a Fatar / Studiologic 880 'pro' at home. I cannot tell you anything about the models you mentioned, but my experience is at least related. It is interesting that even a seasoned Steinway user would seem to get along with pianoteq. I am buying the GPP-3 next week.Īll comments will be very greatfully received. I had also thought about using a high end surround sound system on the corners of the stand. I am using a pair of Tascam VL-X5 studio monitors which I plan to build into a stand with the speakers facing away from the keyboard back, pointing upward at 45 degrees to try and emulate the sound created by a grand. If it was possible to buy a TP/40wood chassis from Fatar how complex will it be to get a MIDI output from it? Does anyone know? Is ti possible that this is the Yamaha CLP280 keybed? Is it sold in any other Midi keyboard? The best keyboard I have found is that inside the Yamaha CLP280 which has wooden keys, but it seems excessive to buy a full blown digital piano only to use the keyboard mechanism.įatar advertise a TP/40Wood but this is a chassis keyboard, does anyone know anything about this? I have tried to get a response from Fatar but no luck and I don't speakl Italian. The CME UF8 is not bad, but it is noisy and has no escapment. I have been trying to identify a better keyboard. It is fantastic, I cannot believe the sensitivity it provides at key level, and I have not yet started to tweek the settings. Ladies and Genetlemen of this user forum, this product defies all belief. Until YESTERDAY when I discovered Pianoteq. I built a high powered PC based around an AMD 5200 chip with a WD Raptor 10,000rpm drive and 2 gigs of RAM.

So I reseacched and eventually about 8 months ago purchased a CME UF8 and then a copy of Synthogy Ivory. Last year I met a rock musician who had some classical training and we talked about pianos, he showed me his studio where he had a ProKeys88 (MAudio) and a rig using Stenberg Grand2. A while ago I fell on hard times and was then without a piano for 2-3 years. I have owned severl Steinways, in years gone bye, including 2 model D's one of 1946 vintage and another 1993, a truly superb instrument. I am a classically trained pianist, now aged 54, so I imagine that makes me quite old here. The story first then there are questions.
