Fatar is an Italian supplier of keybeds for digital pianos, synthesizers and organs, [1] based in Recanati, Italy. [2]
The company was founded by Lino Ragni in 1956. [3] It patented its own hammer-action prototype in 1989 and introduced the conductive-rubber contact in 1990. The company has since produced both its own "Studiologic" brand of MIDI controllers and other keyboard instruments, supplies keyboards for third-party manufacturers, [4] and manufactures electronic sustain pedals. [5]
In 2008, Fatar released the Numa keyboard controller, which was constructed entirely from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and allowed the user to define their own velocity curves. [6]
