Velocity and pressure response requires too much force

Erae II. I noticed that I have to strike very hard to get a higher velocity or pressure. Max pressure at 1kg I guess. The issue become worse when multiple fingers are down. 


Would like to see a setting option that lets users to change the response curve and the note-on triggering threshold. Thanks.

also with my unit velocity at 127 is very difficult to reach. i can reach an acceptable 80 or 90. but it is als erratic. pressure is good. and since strike and pressure are sensed in the same way. it seems strange that their are types of sensors for it. i believe it looks like still a firmware problem... pressure, is as much pressure i must give on a seabord block. perhaps a bit more...

Hello everyone,


We've been working hard on these issues the past 2 weeks.  The main point is : playability is subjective. So we are integrating a customizable pressure curve on the next patch.


The pressure curve allow you to set a maximum point, compress, compand, and move the treshold of the curve, so everyone can adjust it to their taste and styles.

The curve set up will be documented in the manual once we release it.


There are also a lot of backend improvment on this update so we will heavily test it before official release. If you are interested in beta-testing it, please open a ticket, we will happily send it to you for review !


Cheers

great news! i can agree about pressure being subjective... but the force needed for velocity more than 100, is in my case too big.... in this thread pressure and velocity are mixed up. they are seperate. in hardware i believe they are sensed in the same way... a velocity curve or sensitiviteit... would als be welcome... but curves for MPE are a must, so good news about curves for pressure!!

Respectfully it would appear its objectively not responsive enough. Many people reporting the same thing. Super glad to hear its being worked on. I will open a ticket for a BETA

I've downloaded the beta and in some basic tests I've found that the new velocity curve is helping in responsiveness.  It will be interesting to hear how it works for others. I don't yet understand how that will impact my overall usage.  i.e. if I'll lose expression in some other way by adjusting certain parameters to increase the initial velocity response. My basic test is playing a piano in Ableton - can I hear it, what's the  velocity per note in the clip. At default settings, the note barely registers, but adjusting some settings increases it comfortably. I put the silicone skin on before this came along, so will revert back to the fabric one and see how it goes with that.
