Topic: Keyboards - Authenticity vs. Playability
Ok, this is a speculated theoretical thread, but I'm just curious. I read a lot about the keyboard controllers being "as a real" piano keyboards. But what about being much better than real? Wooden keys? I dont care. Graded weight - not so sure it is good, it is essential for a piano hammers but not sure so good for a MIDI controller. If I could design my own controller I'd test the extreme length of the keys towards the pivot point, thats first of all. Say 50 cm. or more, why not? All that release technologies - I don't know, need to be tested. Several velocity sensors - yes, sounds good. And I'd like to have mechanically user adjustable parameters such as weight, deep, and as many as possible others, unified by, say, one knob per function.
