Stage 4 Keybed ?

Post by Groovechild »

I’ve taken the plunge and my order is in, seriously long wait.
Does anyone have information on the type of Fatar keybed that is used in the 88 keys version?

Thank you for your replies :keyboard:

Another thread on the same question... if you had used the search... however, most likely a TP40M (as on NS3) but with triple sensor...

Thanks for the info.
Is the triple censor added by Fatar or Nord?

The sensor (rubber contacts and board) is part of the Fatar keybed assembly, not a Nord modification.

I really like the action on my S4 HA 73 which I've had a week. Last night mid rehearsal a white key got 'stuck' in a diagonal position about a 1/2" above normal resting position. The key end closest to me sticking up, the end towards control panel not elevated. Was mid-rehearsal with no phone handy so no photo to share but curious if others have experienced. By lightly pushing the key forward it dropped back in place and all good. I've owned every weighted action stage series since the 2 and never seen this. I did report via nord support website.
