 As I work a lot with keybeds from Fatar and I was looking for an electronic that work with it I found MIDIbox to be the best solution for me. I had a bunch of different keybeds in my hands and I noticed, that some keys are more sensitive than others. So I asked TK to implement a calibration-mode to overcome this issue. With the calibration-mode it is possible to adjust the slowest-delay of every single note on the keyboard. Here is how it works: As I work a lot with keybeds from Fatar and I was looking for an electronic that work with it I found MIDIbox to be the best solution for me. I had a bunch of different keybeds in my hands and I noticed, that some keys are more sensitive than others. So I asked TK to implement a calibration-mode to overcome this issue. With the calibration-mode it is possible to adjust the slowest-delay of every single note on the keyboard. Here is how it works:
  
-Enter //set kb 1 calibration on// in the MIOS Terminal. Now you either have to press every key with the exact same velocity which is nearly impossible or (and that’s the way I do it) use a long piece of wood and press down all white keys and after that all black keys at the same time. +Enter //set kb <1|2> ​calibration on// in the MIOS Terminal. Now you either have to press every key with the exact same velocity which is nearly impossible or (and that’s the way I do it) use a long piece of wood and press down all white keys and after that all black keys at the same time. 
  
-When you are finished enter //set kb 1 calibration off// and play the keybed with your favorite sound. If it works like you expected, enter //save ***// where *** is the name of the .NGC-file if you work on MB_NG or enter //store// if you work with MB_KB. You will notice that there will be new file on the sd-card called .NGK. This file contains the slowest-delays ​for every single key.  So if you notice at a later point that a single key is more or less sensitive than others, you can adjust that by editing ​the value of the key. The keys are numbered where 0 is the lowest note on an 88-key keyboard.+When you are finished enter //set kb <1|2> ​calibration off// and play the keybed with your favorite sound. You can take view on the measured ​delays by entering //kb1 delays// in the terminal
  
-With the calibration-mode another change was madeYou still have the “slowest_delay”-parameter in MBKB and MBNG. This value now changes the sensitivity per mille. A value of 1000 uses the delays in the NGK-file = no change. The higher the number for the slowest_delay-parameter is, the more sensitive the keyboard gets.+For MB_NG: If it works like you expected enter //save <​filename>//​.</​br>​

A value of 1000 uses the delays in the .NGK-file = no change. A value of 2000 would double the measured delays - a value of 500 halves the measured delays.
