 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 in 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|2> calibration off// and play the keybed with your favorite sound. You can take a view on the measured delays by entering //kb1 delays// in the terminal.  
 + 
 +For **MB_NG**: If it works like you expected enter //save <​filename>//​. 
 + 
 +For **MB_KB**: If it works like you expected enter //store//.  
 + 
 +For **MB_NG**: You will notice that there will be a new file on the sd-card called <​filename>​.NGK. This file contains the slowest-delays. ​ Here you can adjust every single key by changing the values. The keys are numbered where 0 is the lowest note on an 88-key keyboard (A).
  
-When you are finished, “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. You will notice that there will be a 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.+For **MB_KB**: If you would like to change ​the slowest-delay of a single key simply enter //set kb <1|2> key_calibration_value <key> <value>//
  
-With the calibration-mode another change was made. You 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.

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.
