Unreal. GC Sherman Oaks doesn’t have it on the floor. Flagship keyboard not on display.

Now that is surprising. But it not a much longer drive to GC in Sunset Blvd Hollywood and I would think they would have it.

I love the keybed a lot..
Often i just use the keybed to play the pa4x..arranger amd sounds

If there are any more specific questions
I will gladly answer them.

Hey Bacchus I played the Kronos 88 AND the Kronos LS today....The weighted keys I don't want as i will use it as a workstation...The LS keybed did not feel as good as my PA4X which to me is perfect....Maybe the velocity curve was too weak? Anyways I figured they would be the same....Are they?

Bachus .. again I need to correct you

Roland like Yamaha has always made their own keybeds... always..
They have never used a Fatar keybed .... yet

To have folks think the G70 and Pa4x are the same bed are totally misleading... They are not even close...

Actually Korg used the Fatar keybed found on the Media Station for it's top model arrangers..

What made Roland great in the piano world was their designs in keybed action... and also the synth actions found on JV1000, JX10, D70, and XP80..

In the early 80's Fatar had some problems with contact key springs..I use to keep some taped inside my Fatar action keyboards for quick repair..

Studio logic was a main customer of Fatar..Dist out of NYC..

Today I am sure Ketron uses Fatar action...All are friends in Italy....

It is sad to me seeing the keybeds of today... I am not a fan of any synth action today... and Juno stuff is the worse..
They forgot the importance of good keys.

There is hope..Two of my recent purchases look promising... The action on my M-Audio Code61 controller (one of the best).. and even the cheap Roland Go Keys.. is heading in the right direction..

The Casio , even the CTK series .. the action is bad...as the same with Yamaha PSR w series..

Bachus my reference.... a Roland, Fatar, Studiologic dealer for twenty years..

I have seen the development of the key actions and the factory that has designed and made the Roland keyboard beds..

I have had discussions with Roland personel over the years, and trust my first hand know how over someone's opinion..

In later years I have had relationship with people like Domenic (Lionstracs), and other keyboard builders with first hand knowledge about keyboard building in Italy..

I am sure some people take for granted that if a design is similar it must have been made by Fatar..


I did post previously above the link to a discussion group..

I never had a need to reinforce what I already know.
