Hello
Will someone please tell me the Fatar keybed used for the 8HD?
I own a 6HD, but would like to add a 88-key controller with a similar feel to the 8HD. I've seen one reference online that suggests Alesis used the TP/9, but I'd like to know for sure if this is the case.
That said, does anyone know of another controller that uses the same keybed as the 8HD?

To add to this... The 8HD keybed cannot be the TP/9 or the TP/8 boards as the entire keys (including what is inside the shell) are too long. I found a picture of an opened 8HD on another site that provides a good look at the keys (credit: electRiq 2007). When comparing this image to the pictures on Fatar's website of their keybeds, it appears that the 8HD used either the TP/10 keybed or the TP/40. Fatar's VMK series (as well as a few others) use the TP/40 keybed, but I'm unaware of any controllers that use the TP/10. In addition, there are multiple TP/40 subtypes ranging from "Graded Hammer" to "Light Touch." If the 8HD used a TP/40, I suspect it is the Medium or Light Touch. Alesis does not provide (or 'have') this information. If I hear back from Fatar, I'll post any new info. Attachments:

Thanks for the post, Jesse.
I ran across that thread around the time of my first post. Unfortunately, Alesis couldn't link the part numbers to a specific Fatar keybed.
Again, thanks for the response. Hopefully, I'll eventually have some light shed on the matter. I'm still waiting on a response from Fatar...

Any idea what the difference is between the two? |

I don't know, but try asking Alesis, lets us know if you find any information on the two keybeds.
I will see what I can find out.

when I had one of my 8hd's open I found a label on the back side of the key bed, I don't know if it is version I or version II. Judging by the date (2005) on the label I would say version I Attachments:

Should be a Fatar TP40H or TP400. There was a discussion about this in a german forum.

As the german internet page says:
The TP/400 with 88 Keys is the the same as the TP/40.
But there are two different kind of TP/400. The difference is the polarity of the diods. Only the right polarity (don´t know which) will work in the Fusion8.
