Midi Player 
-
I just want to share with you my joy of midiplayer. For me, a very important topic is dynamics.. I am not an expert on keyboard instruments and therefore I cannot decide on the keyboard dynamics settings. And that is why a midi player is very useful because I can let an artist play on my instrument and adjust the dynamics according to him better than according to my hand. For me, this is the main use of a midi player. A very big help for good dynamics settings. (Deciding whether the sample will have LoVel 0, HiVel 50 or HiVel 53?) midiplayer
Only a pianist (or keyboardist) can properly set the keyboard dynamics or I can use a midi Player. -
One of my frustrations with midi keyboards is that they generally only detect the velocity at which a note is initially pressed.
I wish more keyboards had continuous velocity control. -
@griffinboy Yes. It's about finding a middle ground and compromise.

Many MIDI controllers/keyboards have this feature.
It's mostly channel (monophonic) aftertouch but some have polyphonic aftertouch.

Not enough key depth! I want trautonium style playing

@dannytaurus I think @griffinboy needs this to fully express his creativity

@griffinboy espressive e Osmose has entered the chat.
Got it in July, best musical device purchase I made in the last years.

:espressive e Osmose
I have a Seaboard Rise, but rarely use it because of the difficulty I have playing that surface.
The E Osmose would surely fit better my needs -
@ustk yup that‘s exactly why I skipped on the Seaboard, the Osmose let‘s you transfer the years of practice from a traditional keyboard to its playing style.

Yeah, I made the unfortunate choice to fund the much cheaper, adoyo Loom project on kickstarter. They went bankrupt very recently after ghosting backers.
No mpe device for me yet : ( -

I said the exact same thing to a friend after trying a tiny portable Roli and the Osmose. Impacts and squishing are far too imprecise. Improv is my strongest skill. With one controller, you are throwing that skill, precision, and speed away. I'm sure it has a use, but I write faster melodic music. Not for me.

The Wiggler is really cool. Very limited, sure, but the expressiveness is great for a DIY project.
