«  Touch is not everything ... »

Value For Money : Excellent
I was looking for a new master keyboard with good feel and some control surface.
As I already own a Fatar Studio 900 amply satisfied me so far, so I chose a keyboard Fatar / Studiologic.

UTILIZATION

As expected the touch is very good. No regrets on that side.
However, apart from the touch, I find that the mail is not up to par.
Indeed, it began with an area of ​​the keyboard that was not managing the aftertouch, I did replace the product with the store. I read that in the assembly, it happened that groundwater is not connected!
In addition, the potentiometer 'VALUE' is rather capricious because it is leaps of random values. This problem was also present on the first new product.
Finally, the sustain pedal is poorly managed, because I lose a few times and release notes are audible (This is rare anyway).

I still contacted the customer service Fatar who knows the problems mentioned but no solution to provide! Replacing virtually useless and repayment impossible.

OVERALL OPINION

I kept this product for 3 years.

I loved the quality of touch. Fatar has always provided great branded keyboards, and waited a few years before starting his own keyboard. At the time I bought the Studio 900, which offered the best price / quality ratio.
Having a good reputation, keyboards masters FATAR / Studiologic prices are now above average.
In my choice, not the reputation prompted me to go try other keyboards.

But I was really disappointed electronics account the small problems I had and not an isolated case. I know Studiologic now has several product lines. Before making the choice Studiologic, I will try the product.
This explains a down note.
