Internal hacksFor now, the Axis-49-converted-into-a-jammer is "good enough" - not perfect, but with the modifications we have made, ~ it is a quite decent core. Sure, eventually, we would like to have these improvements (hacks) done:
Piano-forte, the control over expressiveness, could be improved by
increasing the key depression (thus doubling the distance the keys
travel), by having a 1mm sheet
of plastic cut by laser, with 19mm-wide holes so that each key has a
1mm-deep hole
to drop into. And yes, we are aware that a number of other things would have to spaced out to match.
Key-noise has 3 sources:
More keys - is any idea on the back-burner for now.
But the above points address quibbles. Right now, it is time to learn, learn and learn some more the instrument, just as one would buy an in-expensive, but listenable piano to pound on, but plan to buy a baby grand ten years later. External hacks
We are now getting to the point where we can make use of external features like sustain pedals,
octave and key-shift controls, and a thumb-controlled modulation ability. For work on these features, see TBA ~ |
