I saw you were using the Kawai VPC1 midi controller. So what Piano software you were using and which one for the piano sound you like and recommend. Your answer will be appreciated.
Ok so on the song “ Prelude/ Angry young man” from Billy Joel.. That super fast Intro in C would have been done on a 3 sensor digital piano ?? Could it still be technically done on 2 sensor digital grand ?
Not at all! Its the digital equivalent of tracking exactly where a key is in its travel, and whether its on its way down or up, and how hard/soft its been struck.
No. Uprights are usually slow. The key has to come all the way up. (although that trill on alternate notes isn't even that hard for most pianos, its when you do it on one note that the keys are too slow.)
As volume is determined by the time it takes from triggering sensor 1 to trigger sensor 3, how is volume determined when only sensors 2 and 3 are triggered?
10 years later after this video was made....major manufactureres (Kawai)are still selling keyboards costing over 2000 dollars and only offering dual sensor...smh
you can do the same "repetition mechanism" with only two sensors : you just put the first sensor (dual sensor technology) to the position of the second sensor (triple sensor technology) !!! with your explanation, the first sensor is not really used. the triple sensor thechnology is used to measure velocity / evolution of the speed : with two sensor, we can measure speed; with three sensors, we can have a delta of speeds, and so cinetic energy
Kawai’s RHC (Responsive Hammer Compact) action - as used in the ES110 - has only two sensors per key yet reviews, including Chuck’s, say it has a more realistic upright piano feel than the Casio PX-160 which has three sensors per key.
Number of sensors and key action (feel) have nothing to do with each other. Korg's RH3 action is 2-sensor, yet is superior to many triple-sensor key actions.
I do but not as well as you do. I have been playing on & off for 25 + years but I am self taught. And my philosophy is music can never be mastered but I will at all cost try my best.
Thanks for this great vid Chuck, you just made me that much less of an idiot. :D
Watching more of your vids. Love them :)
This is the video I needed
Another very entertaining and informative video Chuck!
:)
Thank you! It’s really best for understanding.
Glad it was helpful!
FYI: I think alternating thumb-middle finger single note tremolos are great test of two sensor actions.

So if I understand this correctly, three sensors is the digital equivalent of a double escapement mechanism on a grand?
Not at all! Its the digital equivalent of tracking exactly where a key is in its travel, and whether its on its way down or up, and how hard/soft its been struck.
@@PianoManChuck Yes but double escapement makes trills easier, and triple sensors make trills easier - isn't that equivalence?
I read title like ...
Digital Pianos - Dual (for normal ppl) vs Triple sensor technology for Idiots
Do you have that fast control of the 3 sensor digital piano also in an acoustic upright ? Idk if i should replace my 3 sensor e piano with an upright
No. Uprights are usually slow. The key has to come all the way up. (although that trill on alternate notes isn't even that hard for most pianos, its when you do it on one note that the keys are too slow.)
I think some expensive uprights have double escapement which is what the 3 sensors are trying to replicate

does that mean that i should go with the kawai kdp 120 and not roland rp 701? kawai has 3 sensors. im a beginner amd not a pro
Ha! never would of guessed it's based of time. Thanks.
Would "of"? As in, belonging or pertaining to?
ok great so only 0.5% of people need this functionality. What is the SECOND best controller besides the VPC 1?
Kawai es 110 dual sensor better then Roland FP-30x triple Sensor 😁
I tried them just now
My life is simple
I am idiot
I watch this video ;)
Hello Sir. Do you know if Roland RD 800 has triple sensors or better?
Tor Bruheim - it has triple sensors and a special processor to detect hi-res velocity.
Amazing ! :)
Thank you for your informative insight once again Chuck. Let us know when you will be starting "piano lessons by Chuck" I will be student number one.
Thank you - that's very kind :)
I thought you already played?
PianoManChuck
Do you believe there is any need for quad or more sensor tech? Thanks for the video!
No. Only professional or classical pianists will notice the difference of a 3rd sensor. No need for a 4th.

That's an excellent comment: "music can never be mastered". I wish more musicians would adapt that philosophy!
PianoManChuck Thanks Chuck, it is something that took quite a while to figure it out myself. Be well.
I have been playing piano for 40 years and I'm still a student. Guess till I die.
