Agreed... When it comes to the feel/control of both, velocity and 
pressure, I always prefer the SY77 keyboard.

Does anyone use a later Ensoniq polypressure keyboard who can tell, if 
did they fix the problem of delayed response to pressure (and also 
loudly clicking keys)?

But nevertheless, I like the idea how they implemented polyphonic 
pressure (or the keyboard implementation at all). Are there any other 
interesting ways out there to achieve pressure sensitivity apart from 
conductive foam?
