At least the new Montage replacement actually seems to be entirely a step up from the old one, whereas the Kronos replacement was, in some significant ways, a step down from the old one (partially corrected with the re-introduction of aftertouch).shefu wrote:Yamaha been doing the bare minimum for a decade now.
Some other evidence that it's not easy to do is that, even with simple channel aftertouch, it is not always done well, as witnessed by how many people have complained about how bad the aftertouch implementation is in various boards.dfahrner wrote:Poly aftertouch is not that hard - it's just that another sensor is needed under each key, with supporting hardware to read each sensor, and the additional software development time and expense to integrate and test it alongside everything else in the package (modern synths probably already have enough raw computing power)...multiply the cost of this by the number of keys (!), multiplied by distribution / retail markups, and that's probably why manufacturers are not including a feature in new machines that not many customers have used or even tried out...Asena wrote: It cant be so hard to have PAT on all of them.
Everything always seems easy until you're the one who has to figure out how to do it.
