On a weighted action you can more easily control that lower dynamic range. On a synth action like your MKII 61 (I have the same one), it is too easy to play hard(er) at the low velocity end, so you need a slow, very exponential curve to compensate. From about 117 to 128 seems a small range, but it is where your loud playing versus a really hard accent will occur. Or in a band, which generally skews your whole touch up higher. Then for the end it is all about how hard you hit when you are playing really hard. On many preset curves I always find that it jumps too quickly the moment I am trying to start a slight crescendo. I like to have a lot of play/range from the lower to the middle - that is the heart of what you will feel is the dynamic response. Then for me, the most important thing is how you climb up out of your quietest playing to a medium level. You can get clinical when you're testing, and trying to play as soft as you can, but you'll find that when you are playing without being in "test" mode you'll be averaging much higher. What are the average MIDI values when you think you are playing softly? For many of us, they are higher than you might think. Whether you do it first in the application, or just get a MIDI monitor, you need to look at how you play. I'm glad that my work is being used.Īs for velocity curves, it's really all about your touch, not what the curve looks like per se. We did both the Stage and the Piano together. I was working under the direction of a talented friend named Jonathan Leonard, who is really good at working with physical modeling.
