Anybody Doepfer?

Just discovered this German made controller in it’s own carrying case. Can’t find much about the action, but looks very cool...

    Doepfer uses Fatar keybeds, so, yeah, excellent. I never was a fan of the flight case aesthetic but they have a stellar reputation among those who do use their master keyboards. The LMK4 has been around since the 90s at least.

  • Supposedly, it’s Hans Zimmer’s weapon of choice.

    I don’t know anything about the action, though. I suspect you’re after piano-feel keys? If it is Fatar, they’re famous for making excellent synth-action keybeds that are used on the high-end mega-synths (Moogs and Prophets etc.) but these don’t play like a piano. I don’t know what style this board is, but it’s on my radar too.

    Yes, the LMK4 definitely has piano-like action.
    It's been on the market for ages!

    Ah, a solid classic then ;)

    I got a hammer-action keyboard a few years ago in the form of a Korg SV-1, but the vibrations of playing (with headphones) went right through the floor, and my downstairs neighbours got angry. I tried building a platform, and got various foam and space-age insulation things, but it really ruined the whole thing for me.

    I found this demo @LinearLineman

    It looks like the keys might be a bit heavy for my taste. I don't know if you can adjust the 'weighting'.

    No you can't. That would be great.
    I have both the Kurzweil K2500XS and the Forte 88 and I must say that I personally prefer the older Fatar TP/10 (which is also built into the older LMK4+) over the newer TP/40 (like in the new LMK4+).
    The older one is a bit lighter to play yet it still gives you a nice piano feel and I also prefer how the keys "hit the bottom". Feels a bit undefined with the TP/40.
    The TP/10 can also be played faster IMHO.
    LMK4+ manufactured between 1992 and 2011 have the TP/10 keybed, from 2011 on they have the TP/40 installed.

    Great knowledge, thanks chief. Will file this away for future reference.

  • i think hans zimmer and junkie xl use these. I’ve been curious about them, but key action is a big deal for me , so i’d have to touch and test out before knowing for sure how good it is

    Like with headphones, you really have to try out for yourself.
