Perhaps the SY99 does provide different keyboard
velocity curves [1]?
It does, but even on its most responsive setting, I still have to bang.
It's all the soundfonts I've seen too...
Try aseqdump and see what kind of velocities you get when applying
various pressure to your keys.
You first need to find the alsa MIDI port number of name of your
keyboard (example form my box):
$ aconnect -io
client 20: 'LPD8' [type=kernel]
0 'LPD8 MIDI 1 '
$ aseqdump -p 20
OR
$ aseqdump -p "LPD8"
Waiting for data. Press Ctrl+C to end.
Source Event Ch Data
20:0 Note on 0, note 43, velocity 104
20:0 Note off 0, note 43, velocity 127
Another tool which, among other things, can be used for adjusting
curves is mididings:

Information about how to use it to set your curves is here:
