Q: I went to a nearby Guitar Center and they had a synthesizer that played louder the harder you hit the keys. I feel as though this would make music all over the place every single time you play unless you perfectly matched the velocity of your fingers every time. What are your opinions on this? Do you think that some things shouldn't get extra gadgets added just for the sake of adding extra gadgets?
A: keyboards are supposed to have this. when you play a real piano, loud notes are loud and soft notes are soft. when you talk or speak, you can say words louder or quieter. if someone strips away your dynamic capabilities, you will sound like a complete amateur even if you are not. it is very important to buy a keyboard with dynamic sensitivity (i.e. it can tell whether you hit it loud or soft)
