			<description><![CDATA[<p>At my Yamaha P-95, I use note-on maps that were originally posted as they were intended for P-85 usage.&nbsp; Here are velocity maps that were posted originally for Yamaha P-85 models:</p><h5>Note On</h5><ul><li><p><strong>Hard</strong> <br />Velocity = [10, 95, 105, 116, 127; 0, 105, 116, 123, 127]</p></li><li><p><strong>Medium</strong> <br />Velocity = [9, 115; 0, 127]</p></li><li><p><strong>Light</strong> <br />Velocity = [0, 19, 32, 73, 127; 0, 24, 39, 91, 127]</p></li></ul><h5>Sustain Pedal</h5><ul><li><p><strong>Sustain</strong> <br />Velocity = [0, 25, 95, 127; 0, 0, 127, 127]</p></li></ul>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Velocity = [0, 19, 32, 73; 0, 24, 39, 91]</p><p>This is a curve that allows soft playing but that gets brighter easily. It will only reach a top value of 91, and it works well with the default internal P85 curve.</p><p>Admittedly, it&#039;s not for everyone. For me it works well for relaxed, nuanced playing with dynamic range up to single forte, or perhaps a bit louder.</p>]]></description>

Casio have improved alot over the years granted, but compared to the CP33 there&#039;s really no contest. Also the CP33 has a metal casing which is alot stronger than the privias which are plastic. Go for the CP33, I own one and would never swap it for even a brand new privia! Go for it. There&#039;s a review I&#039;ll post shortly.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<div class="quotebox"><cite>ToneF wrote:</cite><blockquote><p>Velocity = [9, 115; 0, 127]</p></blockquote></div><p>I must admit, ToneF, that 9; 0 or 10; 0 is a good starting point for the curve. I also think that 115; 127 or 116; 127 is a good end point. However, personally I prefer a curve at the top so that there may still be a gradation in velocities at the top end. Let me know what you think of the curve.</p><p>Chris</p>]]></description>
