M-Audio Keystation 61es USB MIDI Controller

What is semi-weighted action?

Is it more like an organ, more like a piano, or something in between? I have the M-Audio KeyStudio 49 and they are shaped like piano keys but play like heavy organ keys. The description on the 49 does not claim "semi-weighted keys" so I'm wondering if they are different on the 61. -Thanks

    "Semi-weighted" is somewhat of a nebulous term. The keys are quite different from an acoustic piano, but different again from those MIDI controllers where the keys are little more than plastic tabs.
