Btw, do the Q+ and XTk keyboards have the same touch/feel so are they the same keyboard? Of course the lengths are different ( 4 vs. 5 octaves). I found the XTk keyboard to be quite light but I got used to it. The keys of the A6 are heavier to push and feel a little smoother to play with. Virus KC had even heavier keys and I liked that alot. It seems that Fatar makes very many kinds of keyboards.
Hey no problem

Regarding the kyeboards, I'm not much of a keyboardist myself (I grew up playing trumpet), but I actually like the feel of the XTk better than of the Q+. The Q+'s keyboard feels very light, where as the XTk's feel like they have some weight to them.

It is entirely possible that differant keybeds were used during different production runs of these synths though. For instance, my XTk is a 30 voice version with the black rubber knobs (a later production model). I played a 10 voice XTk, with gray knobs, prior to buying this one and the keybed had a similar feel to it. Maybe the older Q's, the ones with the yellow and dark blue nextel finishes, have similar keybeds to the XTk.
