Topic: Slow Keyboard-----Fast Keyboard?
I do not understand the terms Slow Keyboard up to Fast Keyboard. Would someone please explain.
I am familiar with the calibration but why name them this way?

Re: Slow Keyboard-----Fast Keyboard?
Fast keyboard means it's very sensitive to velocity changes (soft touch), while slow keyboard means it's not really that sensitive (hard touch, gotta whack it hard to hear a louder tone).

Probably relates to many other parameters too as in a fast computer and a slow computer. Anything related to a time lag would have to be considered "slow."

As far as I could understand it's about the velocity curves. Fast mean you have a greater sensitivity at low velocities and slow is the opposite. Linear velocity lies right in the middle of both of them.

Seems a silly description to me. You can still play a "Slow" keyboard with fast key velocity, or a "fast" keyboard using a slow key velocity

Sure, but the audible result will be very different.

I cannot see the relevance of your statement. Even if my system had excessive latency (which it does not) there is nothing that Pianoteq can do to by selecting "slow" or "fast" keyboard.

I really don't know. I don't have any Pianoteq software. I thought you were questioning the meaning of the terms when it comes to a Pianoteq voice. Obviously the quickest response would seem to be best in all cases except where the screen blitz's by so fast you can't see it. I think it may relate to what a given keyboard sends to the Pianoteq software, and in turn how it responds to it. Maybe it means in relation to the MIDI velocity level that is sent out. Are the values generally too high or too low for Pianoteq to respond to properly?

GRB,
You are in a Pianoteq forum so if you are not familiar with the product and specific terms used by Pianoteq why do you post replies that are irrelevant? Are you a troll?
