 Posted: Mon May 19, 2014 12:16 am Post subject: Uneven height in keys |
 |
|
Hi folks.
The other day I was playing my KROSS 61, and felt with my fingers while playing, that the key height of the 2nd lower D key is slightly lower than the rest of the keys (I am talking about the height of the white plastic keys; not the sound pitch).
Later, looking closely to the rest of the keys, I've noticed it happens to every D note in the keybed (looks like the the keybed is put in blocks of 7 keys each when constructed)
I've taken a picture where you can see the height difference. Could you please check your KROSS and let me know if you have something similar? Should I worry? (it may affect playing). The keyboard is still in warranty.
Maybe I am too obsessed, but wanted to know if you have also the same uneven keybed or it is just mine.

Thank you guys for your help! |

Mine is the same, and on all D keys so I suspect it is manufactured that way and not something to be concerned about. That said, I like the Kross a lot but the keybed is not very good. At least the 61.
Once I get a midi merger my Kross will become more of a sound module I play from my digital piano and m1, and I will only use the Kross keyboard if I need the odd extra sound and I don't want to change combi's mid song. |

| Mine is the same way but in the pic you have it makes it look much worse then it really is. In reality it is hardly noticeable and feel wise I don't feel anything. |

How about yours? Is yours as low as mine? Or is it hardly noticeable as the other users mention? Have a look at yours (all D keys) from a point of view similar to my picture, and let me know. Thanks! |

Did you take a look at yours from the same perspective of the picture I attached? Did you check all D notes? |

Mine is slightly less pronounced than your picture, but I guess the real question is if it is impacting your playing. |
