[Feature Request] Can we please have more velocity curve options

Brute PolyBrute
#1

Hi everyone,

maybe this is a personal problem of myself, but I have the feeling that the PolyBrute 12 keybed is very sensitive to velocity changes in comparison to other keybeds. I have compared the PolyBrute 12 to my Korg Triton 61 keys, Alesis Ion 49 keys and my Arturia Keylab Essential mk3 with 49 keys. And all three other keybeds require more pressing force to get the same velocity values than the PolyBrute 12. This makes it rather difficult to switch between the keybeds. And I find it quite hard to play low velocities on the PolyBrute 12.

In the settings of the PolyBrute 12, I can change the curve from linear to logarithmic or anti-logarithmic. However, it seems that I have no “leveling control” that does not change the shape of the velocity curve but rather moves it up or down.

This would simplify the harmonization of the different keybeds.

What are your thoughts on this?

Best regards,
Stephan

Hi @stanft

I’ve tweaked the title of your post so The Arturia Devs will be more likely to see it.

HTH!

I am using currently the PB6 as main keyboard to play a few synth at the same time.
While the keybed of my rather old Korg M3 feels very stiff compared to the PB6 keybed, feels the velocity and aftertouch curve of the M3 (played via the PB6) more comfortable.
I tried all kind of settings to get a smoother velocity/aftertouch curve.
Maybe it is not the velocity/aftertouch setting of the keys, but the interpretation of the data within the synth engine.
Just a thought…

Might as well be. I don’t know the PB6 keybed … and AFAIK the PB12 keybed is completely different. The keybed itself feels really great, and I like it a lot more than, for example, the Triton keybed. But you have to be very careful while playing if you don’t want to end up in velocity values above the sixties/seventies.
