Group-Buy / Collection of Ideas for CantabileKeyboard

Hey people,

planing and 3D Design is done. As already said I’m in close contact with Torsten to get it perfect… at least for him.

Here are the specs:

  • FATAR TP/8O with 61 keys and channel aftertouch
  • Pitchbend & Modulation
  • 10 Fader (can be used f.e. for 9 drawbars + masterfader)
  • 4 Faderbanks. Illuminated switches next to the faders show selected faderbank.
  • 9 Potentiometer
  • 2.4" OLED which can be controlled via SysEx row by row with different font-sizes.
  • 2x4 Arcade-Buttons for firing samples or other useful stuff
  • Panic-Button
  • 2x4 illuminated general purpose buttons (f.e. can be used for transport)
  • 1x3 illuminated buttons above the pitch&modwheel. They send standard midi CC but can be assigned to whatever you like within Cantabile (f.e. transpose)
  • MIDI I/O
  • power and MIDI over USB
  • 4 pedal-inputs in a selectable configuration (selection (if switch or if expression) needs to be done in my workshop)
  • Housing made from 1.5mm black powder-coated aluminum
  • Sidepanels made from plywood painted with black warnex
  • Dimensions: 980 x 291 x 111mm
  • Weight: Hard to tell now. Less than 10kg for sure.

Here is a short animation of the 3D Modell:

Pricing:
This really depends on the quantity in total:
1-2: 1600€
3: 1300€
4: 1200€
5: 1150€
6 -10: 999€

Prices incl. 19% German VAT excl. shipping.

But please note: I can not make individual changes on the housing. The price-drop comes from manufacturing the exact same parts over and over again.

With that said: If you are really interested in one of these boards but you are not happy with something, tell us now! I can not make any changes later on. And if Torsten is happy with your advice and wants me to include it, okay. But otherwise it’s take it or leave it more or less.

Changing the keybed to another synth action is not possible due to a different mechanical layout.

You can decide over fader-/pot-caps, arcade-button-color and pedal-configuration though.

We will wait for any suggestions or people who wants to join the group-buy till the 17th of April.

Best,
Chris
