Hmmm, I started life as a classical piano player and have been into synths
for about 20 years. My take on this is that for playing piano sounds I
prefer a weighted action but for synth style sounds I prefer a synth style
keyboard action. I see them both as two different instruments. When I have
to play synth from a weighted keyboard it feels strange to me but if that
was all I had I'm sure I would get used to it over time....
