"Roland has added totally new sounds with the "Dynamic Harpsichord", which can be played with dynamics and with a damper pedal." (Harmony Central review)
How shocking! Heresy!
They don't know what to do with their software and hardware ? Too much free bytes in the memories? An under-employed DSP ?
A real harpsichord has no dynamic keyboard, that's why the pianoforte, and then our pianos were invented later. And the feeling of the keys is completely different....
