No, what you hear is the keys banging against the leather strip on the key stop. As I mentioned, that sound is no longer present.

It is not the click you hear in that video. It's more of a chirp/click. When you hit the keys hard it'll chirp/click electronically. Kinda like peeling out in a muscle car. I like it. Although, thinking about it, that might be a fun idea, miking up the actual plying of the tron.  I like the sound in the video. I've done that with electric bass. Record the sound of the electric bass electronically and acoustically. It adds a nice percussive element.

Do you mean an electronic click or a manual click like this?
