I have a new Performer with a Fatar keyboard, for about 6 month now.
(I have the 10 screws on the bottom, so the forum says, it should be a new Fatar keyboard)
After some months with less use (standing in the studio), the keyboard has following phenomenon.
The lower octave key pressure is much less then the pressure on the last keys on the right end.
I mean - mechanical pressure.
I can measure with the tension meter 70g (gramms) on the lower octave, up to 120g -130g the keys on the right side - for a full pressure down of the depending key.
When I recognized, first I thought my little finger has a problem - but its the keyboard.
Has anybody an idea what I can do?
The Fatar keys should have a higher quality than the Chinese ones, but the keyboard which is built in, in my voyager is a scrappy piece of........
The other is.....on the control pushbutton band,
the buttons in the middle are much deeper (not higher as the surface of the frontpanel) then the buttons on the right or left side. The inner LED is deeper as well.
I have observed this at several voyagers.
The cause seem to be a bend mounted PCB, on which the buttons are fixed.
So I can only guess that is caused due to a sloppy work by the moog staff ( design, assembly, or mounting).
I am not zesty about, but I can accept such little weakness.
But the keyboard - as the artists most important interface, should work nearly perfect (now and for the next 35 years, too
