Aftertouch and Keybed cushion
9 Apr 2010, 16:29Hey all.
I've had my x8 for a year or two, and I would really, really, really like to make it so that there is a softer cushion at the end of the key travel. I don't really care about the aftertouch, it is honestly a feature I can't use due to the body breaking pressure required to use it. All I want is more cush at the end of the key travel. Most other hammer action boards I've used are much softer.
My first guess is to replace the felt that is underneath it, and replace it with a less dense felt?
Does roland have options for this? Mine feels like a steel plate is under it, not a soft felt pad.
