| Mysterious 'strip' found on keybeds of digital pianos |
| << < (3/3) |
| Bud:
Can you measure the resistance value of the strip between the pads? May give some clues. |
| floobydust:
Aftertouch exists in piano mechanics, an entire lever system dedicated to it, from the felt getting squished. Very complicated. The hammer will hit and sit higher, I'll have to ask musicians how this translates into "expression" and why so important. |

On electronic keyboards, aftertouch refers to being able to modulate the sound by changing the pressure on the key after the sound has started. On a piano, aftertouch refers to the mechanism that resets the key and doesn't modify the sound (the hammer is off the strings), though is can be felt and may influence how a player plays. |
