Are velocity curves for note off a standard for master keyboards? I was
searching the web for some master keyboards, but only read the seller
informations. Hm, they have a lot of features, arpeggiator, faders,
dynamic pads etc.. I wonder if it's possible to manufacture a master
keyboard in a far smaller edition than big companies do without
exceeding the price level. Developing a master keyboard and than selling
it as an assembly kit might reduce coasts, but there are also some
offers on the market. Btw. a friend has one of Doepfer's first master
keyboards and it's a bad keyboard, while later master keyboards from
Doepfer should be good once.
... but a master keyboard should
support custom velocity curves not only for note on velocity, but also for
note off velocity, anything else seems not to be the task of a master
keyboard, but a task for the controlled synth.
Yes, and in fact the main reason why the velocity curves need
to be provided by the keyboard is the limited resolution of
that paramater in the note-on/off messages.
