Hi All
And G'day Peter, haven't seen you for awhile!

On that instrument of yours Peter, the only velocity sensors are the
hammer sensors, the key sensors only provide key "on" and key "off" information.
The hammer sensors are essential for recording to provide the velocity
information and are involved in the playback only as far as the information that
is gathered during "keyboard measurement" to be written into the "tables" that
are referred to as Robert explained to adjust the value of power fed to each
solenoid to achieve the correct velocity of hammer.
As far as I am aware the MX80 series had no hammer sensors, but did
have four point key sensors so the volume information was gathered
from the velocity of the key by measuring the time between two points of the
four point sensor.
I hope this adds to the knowledge of all and has not confused the
discussion.
