Can acceptable trills be played on an old M1 with unweighted synth action?
So I have a Korg T3 (basically an M1 with some extra ROM samples).
I am deeply deeply unsatisfied with my trills because they just don't have that smooth, singing, "trilly" quality.
They are on time and everything, but they sound... bad.
I am beginning to suspect that the synth's unweighted action and limited sound capabilities place an upper limit on how good can my trills sound - and that, in particular, if the keys would "bounce back" like they are supposed to, everything would sound better.
Can anybody confirm or deny such a possibility?
Has anybody managed to produce good trills on a synth action keyboard?
Am I wasting my time, here?
(Obviously, I don't have access to a piano for the ultimate test.)
Thank you.

Having just done an acid test, for me, trills using a proper piano action are easier to execute than doing them on an 'organ' type 'board. This may be because I play a lot more on pianos than keyboards, though. The bounce back seems to help the control. Having said that, there are lots of trill type bits in Bach's organ works, so it is quite possible to do it well. It is probably a harder technique than on a piano to master, as control is far more in the finger muscles when the keys respond in the way they do on a keyboard.
