Bruce,

I think you missed the point- It's not about weighted action, but the fact
that it DOES feel like a moog or arp of yesteryear- ie dull and too light-
maybe yamaha carried the 'vintage' idea too far?- The AN replaced my Casio
VZ1- which had a wonderful action- (not unlike the original DX7 I may add).
Anyway I thought this thread was long dead and buried?
