[sdiy] JX-8P with unweighted keys?

[KHeck73 at aol.com]

If the weights are supposed to be under the end of the keys that  you see 
looking underneath without opening it up, mine does not have weights.  I've seen 
reviews over the years where some people think the JX-8P velocity  aftertouch 
requires too much pressure to have effect. Maybe weights were  added to 
address these complaints? Just a guess. Personally, I find the  JX-8P has close to 
real piano-type required forces on the keys; a pretty good  design.

To clarify, Roland used the same key for the  Jupiters/Junos/JXs. Some had 
metal weights glued to the underside (JX-10/Alpha  Juno-2) and some were 
unweighted (JP-6/JP-8/Juno-60/106/JX-3P). The question is  what they used in the 
JX-8P. I've only seen weighted ones but it sounds like  some JX-8Ps had the 
unweighted version.
