If I may add something... and by keeping in mind, that Genos's keybed is much better than on my SX700.
Initial touch setting is meant to adjust overall sensitivity that depends on how
heavy hands the player has. As we know, some play very gently (as being afraid to damage the keys) and some tend to hit keys almost all the time. If we increase touch sensitivity, then we will obviously get
richer sound even at moderate keys pressings. In this case however, we obviously lose a bit of lower sensitivity range and sensible quiet passages will be harder to play.
Real piano has no touch sensitivity settings -there's only one (
normal) sensitivity. On keyboards, increased/decreased touch sensitivity only corrects our
wrong keys hitting, to get result similar as we would hit keys
normal -that's the only purpose of initial touch setting.
What I'm saying is, if we have a feeling that we can't get the right sensitivity, then there can only be two reasons:
1. We don't have good enough playing technique for chosen voice
In short, if we play a sax or harmonica, we don't hit the keys the same way as when playing piano. Obviously, we don't choose different sensitivity for each voice we play -we need to develop a proper technique.
2. Voice characteristic
Actual touch sensitivity is defined in voice itself and is expected to be defined for
normal sensitivity. If we look into YEM's voice creation, we can see that there's not only touch sensitivity curve defined: each note in each layer can have different volume and sound characteristic. Means, if voice is not created
perfectly, no touch sensitivity setting can correct that later. But as I said, that's not even the purpose of Initial touch setting.
Conclusion... It's up to us who to blame: lack of our playing skill, or voice creator.
PS: I hear you
Mike Keybed quality also plays an enormous role in this regard. But I'm sure we all agree that's not really a problem on Genos.
