Topic: Minimum playable MIDI signal achieved?

Hi All,

Since I'm not being able to get less than 25 while softly playing complete passages (I can hardly ahieve less values when individually stroke but not playable at all), I wondered what you guys getting from your controllers when trying to play pianissimo?

My pianos is a Kawai CA97 (GF2) and while I can get pianissimo through the onboard sounds, I cannot get the pianissimo signal through MIDI, even playing as softly in both cases.

Also, adjusting the velocity curve so I get the complete dynamic range, doesn't result in a pleasing playing experience, despite getting the whole range..VidMate  Mobdro

Re: Minimum playable MIDI signal achieved?

Using a Roland RD-300GX, MIDI out connected to a Roland Quad-Capture, I get note on velocity 1 if I press very slowly... but no sound (that I can hear) is produced.  The lowest velocity I've been able to get that does produce a sound is 3.

I'd say the lowest usable is around 10... below that, I'm really not able to play anything, I'm just trying to get low numbers.
