Looks like another victim of lead-free solder in the power handling

Reason for posting - idle curiosity. I'm not going to unnecessarily

delve
into the keyboard section to find out.
I was surprised to see just an 8 way ribbon cable going to an 88 key, 7+
octave keyboard.
I assume there is active multiplexing hidden in there , but would there

be
"touchy-feely" action monitoring as well.?


Yes.


Now I have it working , yes , its rate sensitive. Forte is loud.
Play a note too pianisimo and it fails to register at all, taking say 3
seconds or so from first finger touch to bottoming. I assume that is normal.
