I believe that is exactly what I said but without the detail of it's structure. I have a Motif XS7 and had a Tyros3 and the keys were exactly the same - the FSX keyboard. Honestly, I find no semi-weight to them at all. I've played Rolands which claim to have semi weight to them and they do feel like they do. Yes, the keyboard is much better than say what's on the PSR line but I don't believe they are semi weighted.

No, FSX keys of Tyros2, 3 & 4 are considered semi weighted or synth weighted, which means each key is fully separated, has its own sheet metal spring, fully metal contact instead of cheap unreliable rubber contact. Same thing with Motifs 61 & 76 versions. I work with Yamaha & Korg and pretty sure of these facts. The 88 keyboards usually called graded hammer action. Which means each key is also separated and has longer metal neck to simulate e behavior of hammer action of real piano. CLP & CVP models from Yamaha have laser sensors for each key to make notes on/off. This method is way much better than metal contacts.So, if you need a key action like real piano, you should cosider, any motif 88 key version. Or, DGX640, or one of those CLPs or high tech CVPs models.Sincerely, Phreaque Sent from my iPadOn Aug 29, 2012, at 12:24 AM, Vince Mistretta <vmistretta1411@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:T3 is same as xs and xf 6 and 7.
