Sounds good... I'll have a ham & cheeze on rye with a Blue Ridge beer to go
with that, please.

There are a few synths (loosely used term) such as Yamaha that are pianos at heart but electronic synths with actual key movement.

I have a ton of old brochures of the models I am talking about but that will take time to dig up. They did build them. They use the mechanical key moment. Not all because of the cost.

I have a Hammond M. I need to find some parts for it as one of the brass air condensers split. Then there is the tubes in it's amp that need a touch up as it has a bit of crackle after a while. I also have a Leslie 147.

  Subject: [AN1x] poly after touch and synths in general


  I love synthesizers and electronic music because I get to build 
  instruments by designing patches and I have access to lots of sounds. 
  But synths, even with all the bells and whistles, poly after touch, 
  ribbon controller, extensive modulation capabilities etc. don't have 
  the feel and expression found in actual mechanical keyboards.

  Take the AN1X. Nice and light, portable. For gigs this is great. For 
  serious rock playing, an old upright is much better.You can really 
  pound the piano and it doesn't move. Wooden keys! Then you have all 
  the chaos generated by all those strings and all that wood, plus the 
  touch isn't limited to 128 MIDI steps. Look at all the cool stuff 
  going on inside a Hammond organ. Again you've got the weight, the hot 
  old wire smell, all the chaos theory in tubes, vibrato chrous, real 
  cool drawbars, spinning speakers.
