Message: [QUOTE="Eric Barker, post: 185511, member: 9068"] Part of the problem is in the manufacturing process. Typically the keybeds are made independently by a different factory or company than the rest of the controller. It's all done piecemeal, and for this technology to work, you'd have to at least get the prrssure strip developers to work with the keybed decelopers, which likely circumvents the current process. If it could be built entirely into the keybed processing even before it sends voltage to the main processing unit, that would be ideal, and least complicated. I don't agree that using poly aftertouch would be necessary. With some decent timing algorithms, it would be pretty easy to detect which notes are receiving the "push" from impact, without multiple sensors. Chords wouldn't be a problem because pianist never play heavy notes in chords at the same time as softer notes. If you pay attention, you'll notice that the softer notes are usually delayed slightly, this could all be accounted for. But you're right, this would be difficult to implement, and probably not worth it, but just food for thought. [/QUOTE]
