Question about Super Gemeni keybed action Spring tension (resistance)

Hi friends,

Looking for a knobby synth with a good keybed . i know the fatar TP/8SK is hinged nice and long to provide an even playing experience on all parts of the key . my concern is many fatar keybed are sprung so tightly now days ( for example the quantum MK1 uses this keybed and its sprung quite heavily if i recall , to much resistance),

im actually sellign my nord stage 4 compact with fatar tp/8O cause it takes about 100 grams of weight to depress a white key! and more weight needed for a sharp key!

My Roland Fantom 7 is just right( after modifying the keyfelts {stock its a noisy F$%#@#}, nice and light for someone with a light touch , i dont need to lean over the keybed . even my yamaha montage 6 is quite light also , aswell as older synths like the yamaha EX5 and SY77.

So whats your experience on the keybed compared to other synths. maybe the mods or owners can chime in how many nickles (5 grams each ) it takes to depress a white key.

thanks , and keep the music going !
