Hi Guys,


I recently bought a roland FP-10 digital piano. I really like the expression of it when using it as a digital piano, but I'm new to using it as a midi keyboard.


I've tried it out with several excellent piano VSTi, but I feel like the touch sensitivity is automatically set to very hard. I've tried adjusting this by selecting the lightest touch sensitivity on the FP-10, or by adjusting the velocity in Cubase, and this helps a little.


But it's not nearly the same as playing the FP-10 as a normal digital piano. It feels like the velocity range is way smaller when using it as a midi controller, and there's so much less expression. This holds true in the Kontakt player standalone, and in several VSTIs used in Cubase.


Am I making a midi rookie mistake here? Could it have anything to do with CC controls? Ideally what I'm looking for is just having it set up to feel like a realistic piano (not so much synths).


Thanks for any suggestions!
