Which Fatar action does the Nord Piano have?

Hi,

I have a simple question, and no doubt it's been answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find the information, so I would appreciate some assistance. Can someone tell me which Fatar action does the original Nord Piano have?

I believe I read somewhere that it has the TP40. Is that correct? While I'm at it, can someone tell me how is the reverb routed- at the end of the signal chain or otherwise?

Thanks for your assistance.

Michael

TP100 TP40 is in the NP and Stage models. I have used both, and although very different, equally playable for me. In fact, I might like the slightly lighter feel of the tp100, works really well for rhodes in my opinion.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm confused by your answer.

Since you posted in the Electro forum, I think he thought you were asking which action is in the Electro HP.

My bad, I thought I was on the Nord Piano forum. I'll post in the right place next time

There are three versions of the TP40... L, M, and H. I believe Nord uses the M, Kurzweil uses the L. Also, the keybed is available with or without aftertouch, which could change the feel a bit, and it's possible that there may be other ways Nord could tweak them to their taste.

Thanks anotherscott,

Until recently, I had a Studiologic VMK188plus with a TP40 action and aftertouch. The keybed itself was enjoyable to play, but the electronics were a problem. I expect that Nord technology along with a Fatar keybed will be much more reliable.

And just for the sake of clarity... L, M, and H refer to the light, medium, and heavy versions of the action. There is also a graded version, with heavier feeling keys toward the bottom and lighter toward the top. Some more detail is at http://www.fatar.com/pages/TP_40_GH_ES.htm
