Delaware Dave Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Just saw this and it is 10 years old and discontinued. Sounds pretty good. Anyone have any experience with it?

mate stubb Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I remember being intrigued by this when I heard of it. Didn't it use modelling in some fashion? Quote Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScott Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 It used embedded Windows XP, and you could load your choice of VST onto it. It's the kind of thing a lot of people seemed to be asking for, but no one seemed to actually buy. (Either that or it just wasn't marketed well enough...?) https://www.crumar.it/?a=showproduct&b=3 Quote Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delaware Dave Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Not at all; it actually sounds pretty good. Now it is discontinued unfortunately.

A Mojo could sit right on top of it.Yeah, a little heavier than my Casio or the newer slabs, but it's the streamlined profile I want out of a digital piano, I've started using Pianoteq instead of my Privia's built-in sounds anyway, it's got a progressive, three-pedal unit, and lots of space on top to set stuff (USB MIDI controllers, my Seaboard, iPad, whatever). I don't imagine the current version of Pianoteq would run on the embedded XP (and my license is for the Mac version anyway), but as long as the Fatar hammer action was acceptable, I would consider getting a used one if it popped up somewhere.

AnotherScott Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Not at all; it actually sounds pretty good. Yes, it should sound as good as, well, whatever VST you can load into it, and there are plenty of high quality VSTs that have run with no problem on that level of hardware (though in 2020, it may be harder to find the older versions of some of them that ran on that hardware). In that respect, it's probably the best sounding "slab" anyone has made, or can be made to be so, by choosing your preferred VST. Quote Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug!
