It's supposedly the exact same action as the Alesis Andromeda (made by
Fatar), if you have one of those handy....

I think the Andromeda keyboard feels basically decent but slightly
cheap, if that makes any sense -- it sort of rattles a bit or
something, has a "not entirely solid" feel to it.  But then the entire
Andromeda UI has a slightly cheesy vibe (in terms of physical
construction), so I suppose it could simply be the way the keybed is
mounted or some other assembly issue.

Anyone know of any other synths that use that same keybed?  [How about
the Nord G2X?  That feels great, has the same specs, and I thought
Clavia used fatar keybeds...]
