Topic: Velocity Curves- are we on the same page ?

I reported my Yamaha KX8 as Velocity = [0, 112; 4, 127].  I've found no other reports that have anything other than a zero in the second grouping where I have a "4".  I got that because I raised the first node -lowest velocity- upward instead of sliding it to the right.  This way I could just get an audible "soft" output from Pianoteq from the softest strike I could make on the keyboard that would still register a velocity output.  The ending node I slid to the left where I found a point at which hitting the keyboard "pretty darn hard but keeping in mind what I paid for it" would output the full 127 velocity value of Pianoteq.  Is no one else "raising" the first node, is this just the difference in our keyboards and/or technique, or am I just confused?  (or D. All of the above.)
Curious in Iuka.........

On acoustic piano if your strike is too weak the hammer doesn't reach the string and you hear only the action noise.
That's why I move it a little on the right.. Anyway you have to be very soft and the headroom for the threshold is very very small
