5:58 I think the lighter touch and heavier touch on acoustic pianos usually refer to the weight of the keys, the inertia and the resistance encountered during downward movement, whereas the velocity curves on audio software reflects the audio output, which is the combination of key mechanism and the responsiveness of the strings to the hitting force of the hammers. I don't know how in real life acoustic pianos behave in a velocity curve plot, whether it is a straight line, someone can take some measurements. I used to grow up on a very stiff action upright piano, later moved to a Yamaha Clavinova with spongy feeling keys, and finally two Steinways, one was a concert D. The small and older grand model M 5'6" has much lighter key actions but also smaller sound than the D. Of course the D has a a bigger action mechanism and soundboard than the D. The velocity curve allows the player to 'cheat' in a way not possible on an acoustic piano.
This video has a lot of good information.
Many thanks my friend.

Thank you for the clear explanation and examples, well done!
@@Anatidaephobe Cheers. Many thanks for watching and your kind words. 😎
Wow! Very nice! I'm subscribed, for sure.
@@newguy6935 Many thanks. Will do more once my internet is up and running again.
higher velocity = faster key speed = louder forceful sound :) Thank You...i think i finally understand the term
That's as I understand it anyway. 😎
Well done. I thank you!
Thanks for watching. 😎
