CZ-1 maximum key velocity level

2012-08-10 by xelectric123

Hey guys,

recently my main master keyboard has damaged, so I've temporarily started using CZ-1 to control other synthesizers, as it is my only other keyboard with both velocity and aftertouch control. What I've noticed is that many patches (on other synths) programmed to be expressive with different key velocity sound "different" when played at full velocity. I've connected CZ-1 to DAW, and noticed that no matter how hard I try to struck the keys, the maximum velocity it outputs via MIDI is at 96 level.

I've studied user manual, service manual, tried to find something on the web, but with no luck. 

Is it normal behaviour, that this keyboard has key velocity limited do 96? Any tips appreciated. Thanks!
