Subject:Re: Edirol PCM 800 with drawbar sliders

Hi,

Studiologic (Fatar) had a 61-key waterfall keyboard with sliders, too. I tried it, and it felt good -- but strangely NOT as good as the XK-1 or BX-3 Fatar keybeds. (It wasn't Placebo Effect, either; it's a brand new keybed, and the keys are actually about 1/4" longer than previous designs.)

Regards,

-BW
