Re: [Doepfer_a100] Doepfer LMK4+ Master keyboard specs and reviews

2018-12-18 by Diego Ragnini

Just to clarify 
After my enquiry on this list I have had the chance to try an LMK2+ 8 years old and the keybed was absolutely silent, they keybed soft and responsive
So the rumours I had found on a forum about resonant clunky keybed, on my opinion, are just rant. 

Yesterday I have tried a Studiologic SL88 Studio, mounting the fatal TP100LR, and the keybed sounds noisy and even much harder than the LMK2+

I have no chance to test this master keyboard but it would surprise me if the physical noise would sounds unbearably loud: couldn’t the case be filled with antiresonance material? Or those people are used to play as quite as a laptop speaker? The instrument is also on sale without case, few bucks less than the normal price… is this option for those who find the keybed so acoustically clumsy maybe?
