![]() Now I’m going to give everyone including NI the benefit of the doubt and just think that maybe this was a one-off bad production unit, but damn man. ![]() It actually felt like there was just styrofoam stuck under the keys or something to make it feel “weighted” but it was horribly heavy to push any key down, I felt resistance everywhere and it did not feel anything like any Hammer Action that I know of. My old M-Audio Keybed felt better than this thing. I put my hands down on the thing and it’s honestly got to be the worst keybed I’ve ever felt. So, with that in mind, I was ready to be blown away. Sitting a few keyboards over was the KK S88 MK2, I’ve also never played one of those so I went up to it and saw the whopping $1400+ (CAD) price tag on it but then I remembered hearing so many good things about it online when I was looking for a high end midi keyboard. ![]() It was great, a really interesting piece of gear and I see why so many people love it. ![]() Today I was in the Music Store and they had a Nord Piano 5 sitting there, and personally I’ve never sat down and played one, so I did. But they are known for having less than desirable action, I did the best I could with that thing and it plays very smoothly now, but it still feels like a Rhodes. I recently got a 1973 Rhodes MK1, a beautiful instrument that I restored inside and out, it’s my baby. I ended up chosing the Novation 61SL MK3 in the end but anyways. Okay so let me give this some context, I’m not here to shit on NI, I actually like their products a lot, I use a Maschine now in my daily workflow and the S61 was a big contender for my main controller.
