Hi
Hello I recently bought the keyboard Nektar Panora ma P6.
aftertouch action feels different between the black and white keys, being harder on the black keys.
this causing chords not feel natural, and this is a big problem for me.
this is so or is it a problem of my Keyboard?
Thanks and regards

Its the same on my P6 and I've heard about it on others. A shame really as the white keys feel amazing, but I've gotten used to it over time. Sorry I can't offer more than that, hope it doesn't put you off an otherwise brilliant controller!

My P4 doesn't demonstrate this behavior. Have the two of you submitted a tech support request via your accounts at Nektar's webste to get their input?

Thanks Enoch,

Not being much of a pianist, its never bothered me too much, and I can't be bothered with the hassle TBH. But it was something I heard about in reviews on Amazon and forums before I bought the board. 

I find the black keys are taller and squarer than my other boards, and are about 15% stiffer to press than the white keys. On the rare few occasions I've used the aftertouch, I'd say that the white keys are more predictable for controlling pressure too. Its always baffled me as the build quality is excellent but there's just something a little uncomfortable about the shape/action. Ah well, I'm used to it and happy enough now, though I agree the other guy/gal should certainly get in touch with Nektar's attentive support team if performance is important to them.

Hello, I went to the store and tried those Nektar in exposure, and all have that problem. well actually it's a problem for me, I will have to get used to this new toy.
talking about this keyboard, what I say is that it's incredible, integration with reason is amazing, like a hardware created by Reason.
greetings and thanks for the replies.
my greatest respect to you.
