[A6] A6 Keyboard Apology

[Arnd Kaiser]

No reason for apologies. You didn't sound insulting at all. Was my reply too
harsh? Then I apologize.

I think the pushback you are experiencing is a combination of the spring
mechanics and the small lead weights under the keys. The idea of this
"semi-weighted" action keyboard is to have a compromise between a fully
weighted and non-weighted keyboard.

Most people actually complain about this keyboard to have not enough
pushback or weight, but in your case - of course - it makes sense if you're
saying the Roland/Yamaha types better suit your needs. You might like the
keyboard in the new version of QS synths they have at Alesis. Maybe one of
these would work in the A6?
