The piano is an example of a velocity-sensitive keyboard instrument. The piano, being velocity-sensitive, responds to the speed of the key-press in how fast the hammers strike the strings, which in turn changes the tone and volume of the sound. Several piano predecessors, such as the harpsichord, were not

The Korg DW-8000 is an analog synthesizer released in 1985. It blends FM waveforms with an analog filter and amplifier, followed by a digital delay for adding echo effects. It boasts eight-note polyphony and its keyboard is equipped with velocity sensitivity and aftertouc
Velocity sensitivity (or touch sensitivity) allows keyboards to mimic the sound variations caused by how hard a key is pressed. Cheaper keyboards offer basic volume control, while more expensive models replicate the tonal changes of acoustic instruments.
The keyboard features a velocity-sensitive keys with adjustable sensitivity setting, a total of 482 instrument sounds including stereo-sampled piano and Yamaha XG soundset, a set of 106 different auto-accompaniment rhythms, built-in lesson system for practicing, stereo bass reflex speakers, as well as over 100 built-in songs.
However, where the Mirage could assign at most two different samples to sections of the keyboard, the SDP-1 has multiple samples distributed across the keyboard. [2]: 3 [3] It has a 76-key keyboard (longer than the Mirage), with a weighted, velocity-sensitive action. [4]
Its keyboard spans five octaves, [7] and the keyboard expression allows for velocity sensitivity and aftertouch. [7] The DX7 has 16-note polyphony, meaning 16 notes can sound simultaneously. It has 32 sound-generating algorithms, [1] each a different arrangement of its six sine wave operators. [9]
The announcement of the upcoming DW-8000, which featured a velocity-sensitive keyboard, impacted its sales negatively. The subsequent release of the DW-8000 eclipsed the DW-6000, as the new model introduced velocity and pressure sensitivity, 16 waveshapes, a sophisticated arpeggiator, and a programmable digital delay line for each sound, all at ...
