Subject: Phatboy Warning
Original Message Date: 18-Aug-98 @ 02:22 PM - Phatboy Warning
Just felt compelled to warn my fellow dance tech people about this Keyfax controller the Phat.Boy.
I bought one when they came out a few months ago....number 787 according to serial.
Anyway....I haven't used it much yet and...it's already falling apart!!
The knobs are of cheap quality and basically bits of their insides are already coming out, making them really loose. Then they don't output the full range (0..127) of controller values they are supposed to.
So beware...maybe save for the Peavey 1600 instead.

of course it is! it has a five-octave keyboard that's velocity and aftertouch sensistive as well as 12 assignable controllers - in fact, i think that there might be more controllers available through the footswitches.
really, comparing the an1x and the phatboy is a bit odd. but yes, the an1x is a very good controller - you get an arpeggiator over midi as well.
but one's 100quid and the other's 500. if you want cheap controllers get the phatboy, if you want serious controllers get the peavey 1600 and finally, if you want an amazing synth that just happens to have good controller options, get the an1x.

Can I use the AN1X to control my GS soundcard?
Does it send only XG SysEx? How does SysEx work???
It will work well with my DB50 won't it!?!?
