Subject:Nord Electro---some miscellaneous remarks

I'm seriously considering the Nord....but my one preference would be for
"True-to-form" drawbars that can be used on the fly. I understand the
design philosophy behind the buttons with the LEDs that change position with
every preset. That makes decent sense.....but would it not be even nicer
to have motorized drawbars? I haven't given the machine a test drive yet,
but I'm thinking the buttons would just be a little too slow for adjusting
on the fly? Can anybody comment?

One other thing. What is the action like? Is it as light as synth keys?
I personally don't like playing Rhodes, Wurly, Clav on synth keys.
There is generally a big difference in the velocity response of a weighted
keyboard vs. a synth. Is the Nord action like a cross between a weighted
and a synth-action?
