Message: [QUOTE="happyrat1, post: 185509, member: 4476"] Implementation with existing technologies would be a nightmare to program into current hardware and software and truth be told not all keyboards have the same number or resolution of velocity curves. Not to mention even fewer keyboards possess channel or note aftertouch. It could probably be done but would end up being far too expensive to implement in most consumer or professional keyboards. Personally I floated an idea for an optronic keyboard controller a few years back replacing the flexible failure prone rubber membrane switches with IR LEDs and photosensors to create a reliable, worry free contact. Further investigation led to my discovery that this technology had already been tried in the 80's and was way too expensive to implement and found only on one or two synths way back when. Personally I still think it would be a great technology to use today but as of yet no one seems to have taken up my posts on EEVBLOG to heart. Gary ;) [/QUOTE]
