They keys on the TI Pølar I tried were just very weird, like they were weighted like a piano, but still very nice.

weighted keys on a 3 octave synth? pointless??! not that i mind weighted keys, but on a 3 octave instrument??

I can't say right now how they were, but different from most other typical lead synths. It was probably much the Minimoog keys.

Access always had longer keys on the keyboards (which is much better when you need to play on the black keys), unlike - for example - the Alesis Ion which has very short keys, and it's very unpleasant when you need to play a lot on the black keys. So I guess Access use the same keys on the TI Polar than on their 5-octave synths.

Aaah... that may explain a slightly heavier touch. I didn't feel any different when I last played a Virus, though.

I've always hated weighted keys.

I´ve always loved weighted and half weighted keys, like on the Novation Supernova etc..

Your comment makes no sense. I'm reply to Android who says he hates weighted keys. I'm saying I like them on my piano, not anywhere else.

I still wish for an ARP2600 and a TR-808. Besides that I'm happy with what I've got. I'm free from the horrible G.A.S syndrome for good.

LoL, haven't your setup changed just the last year or something?

Looks very nice, what Moog is it?
