Hey,
I’ve got a Korg D1 with RH3 action and Im trying to find the right velocity curve for Galaxy Vintage D. I’ve been playing around with different settings, but can’t seem to get it to feel just right.
Any RH3 key action owners have a good curve for this? I’d really appreciate screenshots or presets if anyone has them.

Thank You )

 

The Galaxy Vintage D offers extensive options for adjusting velocity via a MIDI Learn function and a manually editable velocity curve. Here are the most important aspects:

MIDI Learn & Curve Editor
Velocity can be precisely learned via MIDI Learn or adjusted by manually drawing a velocity curve in the Anatomy section.
This allows for individual tuning to your own playing style or MIDI controller.

Preset Dynamics
According to Thomann's evaluation, the velocity curve is already preconfigured for a balanced feel, with a clear distinction between soft and loud velocities.

Recommendation:
- Linear for precise playing
- Exponential for more expressiveness in the forte range
- S-curve for pronounced pianissimo and fortissimo dynamics

13 Velocity Zones
The chromatic mapping with 13 modeled velocity zones ensures a balanced dynamic range across all registers.
Tip: If the sound is too static, raise the curve in the mid-range (velocity 40–90) to emphasize nuances.

Practical Tips
Adjust hammer noises separately (Anatomy section), as they can sound static.
Adjust overtones dynamically (Tone section) for a more natural sound.

Use the Low Keys parameters to independently control bass dynamics.
For genre-specific settings (e.g., jazz with a softer touch), a flatter curve with a focus on mid-velocity ranges (60–100) is recommended. Classical pianists benefit from a steeper curve for greater dynamic contrasts.

See, this matter (velocity curves) would deserve a thread on its own, and for all digital pianos.

I would recommend to check keys response with tools like MIDI-OX, actually when I purchased my digital piano I went to the store with my laptop and checked dynamics for all keys - that because once I faced a midified (real) piano that was so bad, eventually I discovered that it missed completely entire chunks of values (like 30 to 60) and that reduced a somewhat already "poor" MIDI dynamics of 42dB (0-128).

So do keys spit out real low values (1,2,3, etc.)? Good.
Do they spit out all possible vaules of the 128 (127) values? Perfect.

The RH3 is among the finest actions, so I would expect the best response.

Then only you can go to next step: divide in a proper section the keys (low, mid-low, etc.) and test them on a particular VST (in this case Galaxy), this step require your ears, but also the feel, the touch (downweight of the keys is really important).
Close the eyes and try to imagine it's a real piano, does it feel like it?

Based on the feel of those sections you can try to draw dynamics graph (if you can, keep linear response on the piano itself and change only the VST), and that could change for every VST.
