So did the Roland A-80 and A-50. I have an A-80, it needs a lot of force
to activate the pressure sensors (althouigh the sensors are new, I
replaced them). One of my next projects is, adding an amplifier
somewhere, to make the keyboard more sensitive...

He're a site with infos on the A-50/A-80: http://personal.inet.fi/private/matador/se_roland_a-80.html

Strange, polyphonic aftertouch doesn't seem to be very popular. None of
the newer keyboards have it (I think), not even the expensive ones. But
it's really a great feature.
