In Reply to: Any 61-Note Synth With Same Keyboard Action as QS8.1? posted by Simon Clarke on June 17, 2001 at 16:11:33:
: Recently, I tried out an 88-note Alesis QS8.1 synth and liked the keyboard
: action, but was told by Alesis tech-support that their 61-note version, the
: QS6.1, does not have the same keyboard mechanism inside.
: Is there a current or past 61-note synth/controller (made by anyone) with
: the same type of "not-too-heavily-weighted" action as the Alesis QS8.1
: keyboard?
: Simon.
Not that I'm aware of. 61 key synths all have a synth\organ type action.Most 76 key boards do as well.You might try a Kurzweil PC2. It may have more weight to it than others but generally you need to get into 88 note controller\keyboards to get hammer action.The reason is that this type of action is usually only desired by pianists who want all 88 keys anyway.
