MY VISION OF THE FUTURE HAMMER ACTION KEYBED
I hope that Korg or someone else reads this and sets up a team to try to make it happen:
Many years ago, Microsoft created a controller for XBox that has built-in vibration, which affects it to different degrees depending on what is happening in the game.
I have used one of these for many years.
Many years ago, Roland developed the vAccordion, a digital accordion where the movements of the bellow are digitally controlled so that it feels like an acoustic accordion. The air consumption can also be freely selected digitally by the user.
I have had both the cheapest and most expensive models, and know how well this works.
Many people talk about midi and its limitations, but there are none in this case.
Although I am not a pianist, I have played acoustic piano many times; everything from cheap box pianos to grand pianos, and these have one thing in common:
You physically feel the hammer hitting the string when you press the key, and hear the resonance.
The audible resonance has long been recreated digitally, while the physical resonance is missing.
What if someone had built in the physical resonance, so that you could physically feel the hammer hitting the string as you pressed a key in the key itself ?
This could also of course be made variable, so that the effect became gradually higher with lower notes.
Some might say that this already exists, but I am of the opinion that there is an enormous difference from the best hammer action keybed to real keys on a grand piano.
