			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi everybody,</p><p>I&#039;ll be some month far from (both) home(s) and so I rented a cheap SP-170 to keep my fingers occupied. At the same time, I discovered that in the campus I&#039;m in there are some awesome free music rooms with some uprights and 4 grands (a Kawai, a Yamaha, a third whose brand I forgot, and a nice Blüthner) so I quite often do to and fro from my room to the music rooms, and I kind of have the feeling of a grand piano action in my hands.</p><p>Compared to this, the action of the SP-170 does a quite poor job, but that&#039;s nothing worse than one would expect from an entry-level piano (I might even say that, for being such a cheap piano, it does quite a good job).</p><p>What I couldn&#039;t expect, though, is that I&#039;m having some trouble with dynamics as well, and who says dynamics says velocity curves. <br />I keep changing them, and never finding a satisfactory one. </p><p>First I tried with the one on the PTQ&#039;s site library :<br />Velocity = [0, 25, 41, 54, 69, 82, 98, 127; 6, 15, 35, 57, 94, 116, 123, 127]<br />But I found impossible to play pianissimo and the piano are still too loud.</p><p>I then tweaked it a little bit, and I had that :<br />Velocity = [11, 25, 36, 43, 52, 65, 77, 95, 110, 127; 0, 8, 10, 22, 38, 61, 88, 112, 121, 127]<br />Which is more reasonable, but rather hard and quite steep when going to mp to f. It&#039;s somewhat similar to the Kawai&#039;s touch in the extremes, but not nearly so smooth in the middle-ranged velocities.</p><p>Then, I reverted to a &quot;normal keyboard&quot; standard velocity, which I find ok and really similar to the Yamaha C3&#039;s touch. The problem is - I don&#039;t like the C3&#039;s touch that much, I find it somewhat too light.</p><p>Eventually, I tried to calibrate the keyboard with the calibration tool, and the results gave me a curve with is realistic enough in its progression, but ridiculously light :<br />Velocity = [0, 1, 23, 56, 77, 126, 127; 0, 0, 32, 64, 96, 127, 127]</p><p>I still can&#039;t decide which curve I should use, I keep switching between those four options without finding one that is completely satisfactory to me... anyone having the same problem ?</p>]]></content>
