I'm talking about the piano sounds here, although I think it affects other sounds too in principle.
It's about the following problem, which I didn't notice before updating to firmware version 2.0.
When playing chords, it happens again and again that a key of the held chord triggers again. To be more precise, one of the held keys reacts extremely sensitively to the slightest releasing movement of the resting finger, and thus triggers the sound again. I do not have a shaky hand! I haven't experienced this on other keyboards/digital pianos.
You can see this quite well in the video.
I then took a closer look and noticed the following:
About 1,5 to 2mm before the end of the mechanical travel of the key, the sound is triggered.
The stopping of the sound seems to be triggered as soon as the position of the key on the way back reaches this point (1,5 to 2mm).
It's as if there was no, or only a minimal, distance between the trigger and stop point.
I then examined the same thing with a Korg - VoxContinental keyboard. Here the stop point is about 2mm higher than the trigger point.
Numa X
measured from top to bottom:
Trigger Off - 0,8 cm
Trigger - 0,8 cm
End of key travel 1 cm
Vox Conti
measured from top to bottom:
Trigger Off - 0,5 cm
Trigger - 0,7 cm
End of key travel 1,2 cm
On a Kawai MP11se I noticed an even bigger gap between trigger and trigger off points.
My question to the forum:
1. has anyone had similar experiences with a Numa X Piano 73?
2. is it not the case that a certain distance between the trigger and the trigger off point is necessary, to avoid accidental triggering? And also necessary to better support the repetition of the keys?
3. Is this condition a defect or a property?
