I've just recently understood how valuable the ability to change the amplitude of each note is: obvious, in a way---if we raise the amplitude of some notes, they are louder at low velocities, which means that if we adjust the Velocity scaling and the Dynamics correctly, they have an entirely different timbre at low to medium velocities--at medium velocities, they can have the timbre of lower strikes, with fewer high partials. And the limiter prevents them from blowing a speaker on hard strikes.
