digital piano is a musical instrument that simulates acoustic piano.
keys variations
semi-weighted keys (my piano)
use a spring-loaded mechanism in digital piano combined with some light resistance to simulate the feeling of pressing an acoustic piano key.
they’re typically lighter to the touch and bounce back more quickly than fully weighted keys.
fully weighted keys
are designed to simulate the action of an acoustic piano in digital piano.
some models use graded hammer action, where the keys in the lower register feel heavier than those in the upper register (like an acoustic piano).
unweighted keys
does not react to the pressure variations or how long key is being pressed. nightmare! ew!
