Have any of you ever heard of or are
aware of anyone having a key weight/key custom modification on a weighted
keyboard to actually give a weighted 88 key keyboard (my Yamaha S90)
semi-weighted synth
action instead of the weighted balanced action it has now. Its action is too heavy for me. I really love this keyboard
and I hate to sell it if a modification could be done.

Thanks

Mmm. I'm just thinking about this now, and I think it's a long shot - it'd probably be cheaper to buy yourself a synth-action controller. Possibly you could replace the keybed, but i'm not sure if you could find a compatible one.

I highly doubt that its possible, if you want 88key semi weighted just get yourself a used Roland RS9 and use it as a controller.

Well, it was worth a try...Keys tech e-mailed and says no mods available. I kinda figured as much but was hoping. Time to list it on ebay.

What a shame ! I love my S90...particularly the action, it's so inspiring!

Yea... I'm really bummed but oh well. Its not the end of the world. I'll just get something else. Most likely a Motif 7 or ES 7.
