Calumet Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 So, guitar players can adjust their actions but can keyboard players? Are we confined to what the folks at Roland/Yamaha/Korg etc. define as a good action? Has anyone ever adjusted the action of one of their synths?

You could replace the springs of a synth action for different tension, I reckon. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing you are - using a different tension spring to create more of a, say, Hammond B-3 action.

Calumet Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 I am really surprised no one else has jumped in on this question. I would figure there would be quite a few folks on here with Franken-keyboards! My band Thousand Houses: www.thousandhouses.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudyS Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 well I saw that carlito made his own action with rubber bands attached to an 88 weighted board.. But he had put "the keys" into a box made by himself. don't think you can srew open your Triton Extreme to change the action.. Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
