Topic: Touch Screen Sound different to sound with midi-usb cable

Very Important !

Why when i touch the keyboard on the touch screen the sound is more detailed, brillant, realistic rather than in playing normally on keyboard ? (with cable usb B-A on Kawai CA901)

the sound is much more muffled !

all velocities are concerned !   

everything is more real on touch screen !


is Very Very Important, this means that there is a downgrade in sound quality for everyone !

by comparing several cables usb B-A i hear subtle sound differences while the values sent are the same normally !

but never so good as on the touchscreen !

If you record your keyboard playing as MIDI in the pianoteq app, does a later playback sound better, or also muffled? What hardware do you use along your audio output chain?

Re: Touch Screen Sound different to sound with midi-usb cable

It's very difficult to control the velocity when playing on the touchscreen (it depend of where you tap on the key). How do you compare those velocities to those when playing on a keyboard?
