[sdiy] MIDI isn

[harry]

In the Hammond case... I would think that velocity could be used to synthesize
or multi-sample the various speeds of key closure. They close in the same order

(unless bent beyond recognition...) and the bounce should be a function of the
velocity as well...

And 99.5% of people cannot hear the difference...
