			<description><![CDATA[<p>Wow this is a great resource, thank you for your effort! May I ask how you&#039;ve generate the curves, is it a mathematical formula? Do you also have any suggestion how to adopt a certain curve to a keyboard on which it&#039;s not possible to reach all 128 velocity steps. For example, on my keyboard (Yamaha N1) the lowest level that&#039;s seems possible to play is 6 and the highest is in the 115-120 range. I think the 0.85 &amp; 0.9 curves feels very natural on my piano but I want to take advantage of the full dynamic range of Pianoteq, and at the same time adopt the seemingly logical development of the touch in the different curves. Thank you again for sharing.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi all,</p><p>if you you need a curve for a slow keyboard and neither the &quot;slow&quot; nor the &quot;moderately slow&quot; is fitting, you can use one of these generic curves.<br />0.35 is for a very slow keyboard, 0.5 is very similar to the &quot;slow&quot; preset, 0.7 is very similar to &quot;moderately slow&quot; preset. 1.0 would be linear so I stopped at 0.95.<br />So these curves all have the same function but are finer grained.</p><p>0.35<br />Velocity = [0, 4, 7, 11, 15, 23, 28, 43, 64, 91, 127; 0, 38, 46, 54, 60, 70, 75, 87, 100, 113, 127]</p><p>0.4<br />Velocity = [0, 2, 6, 8, 13, 22, 32, 44, 63, 91, 127; 0, 24, 37, 42, 51, 63, 73, 83, 96, 111, 127]</p><p>0.45<br />Velocity = [0, 4, 6, 12, 16, 19, 32, 43, 62, 87, 127; 0, 27, 32, 44, 50, 54, 68, 78, 92, 107, 127]</p><p>0.5<br />Velocity = [0, 2, 8, 12, 16, 23, 32, 42, 61, 90, 127; 0, 16, 32, 39, 45, 54, 64, 73, 88, 107, 127]</p><p>0.55<br />Velocity = [0, 4, 7, 11, 17, 20, 28, 43, 60, 90, 127; 0, 19, 26, 33, 42, 46, 55, 70, 84, 105, 127]</p><p>0.6<br />Velocity = [0, 4, 8, 9, 17, 20, 28, 45, 60, 91, 127; 0, 16, 24, 26, 38, 42, 51, 68, 81, 104, 127]</p><p>0.65<br />Velocity = [0, 3, 7, 8, 16, 19, 32, 41, 60, 88, 127; 0, 11, 19, 21, 33, 37, 52, 61, 78, 100, 127]</p><p>0.7<br />Velocity = [0, 2, 6, 11, 17, 21, 28, 45, 61, 89, 127; 0, 7, 15, 23, 31, 36, 44, 61, 76, 99, 127]</p><p>0.75<br />Velocity = [0, 3, 6, 8, 13, 21, 30, 45, 64, 90, 127; 0, 8, 13, 16, 23, 33, 43, 58, 76, 98, 127]</p><p>0.8<br />Velocity = [0, 4, 6, 11, 15, 20, 29, 45, 60, 87, 127; 0, 8, 11, 18, 23, 29, 39, 55, 70, 94, 127]</p><p>0.85<br />Velocity = [0, 3, 8, 12, 17, 19, 28, 43, 63, 88, 127; 0, 5, 12, 17, 23, 25, 35, 51, 70, 93, 127]</p><p>0.9<br />Velocity = [0, 2, 5, 11, 17, 19, 32, 44, 60, 91, 127; 0, 3, 7, 14, 21, 23, 37, 49, 65, 94, 127]</p><p>0.95<br />Velocity = [0, 4, 6, 8, 17, 22, 28, 41, 64, 87, 127; 0, 5, 7, 9, 19, 24, 30, 43, 66, 89, 127]</p><p>Maybe you can post here which of these curves you find useful for which keyboard.</p>]]></description>
