Electro 6D Uneven Keys And Knobs

Post by Batdork »

Hello,

I've been having my Electro 6D waterfall semi weighted 61 for about 2 weeks and I Just noticed today that the upper C6 till C7 keys are a bit more weighted and harder to press than the ones between the octave of C4 till C5. The lower octave of C2 Till C3 keys is even softer and lighter than the middle octave keys.
Another issue is the knobs that i very carefully turn left or right where I notice that they all require different amount of pressure to be turned
Has anyone else noticed that? is it how its supposed to be?

Cheers!

You may have played some parts more than others. Sometimes, the keys will "break in" a bit after use. Maybe your left-hand playing is heavier than your right hand, so those low keys are more broken in than the middle ones, and the upper ones even less?

You can keep playing more in the upper parts or just wait a bit and it may even out on its own.

Thanks baekgaard!

So I assume this is something normal i don't have to worry about!
I updated the thread description in the first post including another issue about uneven pressure required for all knobs to be turned left or right as some of them feel softer or harder compared to the other knobs! is that normal? is it because it's handmade probably? idk it's my first time buying Nord.

if you are worring about that ask nord support on the phone or drive to your music store and maybe they can show you that
