Fatar SRL have been manufacturing keyboard actions on the Adriatic coast of Italy for decades, and have supplied actions for the world's most professional keyboards. They were the first manufacturers of dedicated midi controllers.

-The VMK 188, 161, and 176 include Fatar Grand Touch action.

-This graded hammer action is heavier on the bottom and gradually lighter towards the top, just like a real piano.

-The hammer mechanism is thrown up and forward on its pivot as the key is depressed, like the mechanism of a grand piano.

-Excellent key acceleration and greatly increased dynamic range.

-Satisfying sense of the "throw point" of the hammer, which improves rhythmic accuracy.

Sweep that filter, tweak that delay feedback, give the sound some bite, all in real time! Forget squinting at a screen and fiddling with a mouse. With a host of rotary encoders, buttons, 3-4 pedal inputs, a joystick control, and buttery smooth sliders, you can adjust any imaginable soft synth parameter from your VMK. We've included presets for over a dozen of the most popular softsynths from Native Instuments, MOTU, Steinberg, Propellerheads,  Apple, and IK multimedia. Each of these can be edited as you wish, and there are a total of 30 fully user-programmable preset locations.

With built in USB, the StudioLogic VMK seriescan  plug and play with a computer in one easy step! ( Of course we still have TWO midi outputs for more traditional use with modules and other midi keyboards.) For ultimate portability, a laptop and a VMK can have you producing music literally ANYWHERE, with or without a power outlet.

-The VMK 161 is the world's first 61 note  hammer action controller.  A perfect size for the gigging musician, or a space-challenged project studio! The VMK 176 offers the same action in 76 keys.

-At under 14 pounds, the VMK 88 and TMK 88 are the lightest 88 note controller available, with a semi-weighted action that smokes the competition (just try it!). The slim profile is convenient in the studio and sexy on stage.
