I had a Fatar MIDI keyboard for a while, had to return it because sometimes some sounds got frozen (as if I didn't release a key). It was a semi-weighted keyboard.
Can't say that I loved anything about that keyboard. The keys were fine, but overall quality seemed poor. The store told later that they would no longer sell it due to its low quality.
Later I played some PSR's, also played continuously a cheap old acoustic piano and a good Yamaha grand piano at restaurants, have got to say that PSR's keybed never seemed to me as a big problem. Of course it takes time to get adjusted, just like with new shoes, also, I think, we have to adjust our music to different instruments as well.
Fatar in general makes the keybeds not the keyboards...
They produce from cheap to high end quallity
There is quite some difference between the various fatar keybeds..
But overall their organ/synth actions are much more praised then their piano actions
When it come to keyboard preferences, i think their are 3 factors..
- quallity
- your personal preference
And a 3rd one which highly influenes the first 2 ones
- your personal experiences..
If you lets say where used to a cheap Light casio action
Chances are you will not like heavier actions..
When it comes to arranger keyboard action, it really matters weather you come from home organs, or have studied concert piano..
As with many things, to each their own..
