[sdiy] Quantizer project.. incoming CV's switching point to change to quantized output CV's ...

Yes !   Those equal temperament (which weren’t quite anyway !) Mostek and GI organ chips of the 1970s/80s that people tried to use in electronic pianos were an abomination.

We once had to call the piano tuner back when Gary Brooker did a sound check on our baby grand and said it was out of tune.  Whiter Shade of Pale (and some other PH songs) needed a rather extreme stretch tuning.
But he still moaned the whole show about having to play on this ‘toy piano’.

Apart from anyone with a real piano !   Programming in the Railsback curve is well worth the effort.

Also a Fender Rhodes (and probably any other electric piano):
