Dynamic KeyboardMass™ feature
Keyboard mass controls in the Kispest virtual pipe organ
The Dynamic KeyboardMass™ (KM) feature is implementing a unique functionality in selected
Hauptwerk sample sets simulating the temporal behavior of a pipe organ's keyboard and tracker action dynamically. It was engineered by
Inspired Acoustics to be first implemented in the
Kispest Pipe Organ in November 2009. The feature simulates keyboard and tracker action mass and inertia by various time-domain parameters that
change dynamically according to the manner the organist presses the keys/pedals.

The Dynamic KeyboardMass™ allows simulation and real-time control of the organ's keyboard heaviness, independently for each keyboard, including the pedalboard. This feature is claimed to add a new layer of realism to play the virtual pipe organ.

The model in the Dynamic KeyboardMass™ sets the response of both the speaking and the release part of the pipe sound simultaneously and dynamically, adopting itself to your actual key-presses. From a practical standpoint, this feature ensures that the virtual instrument remains very responsive even if very heavy keyboards are set.
The Dynamic KeyboardMass™ feature, which changes the note lengths and delays, temporally complements the tracker action noises that respond to touch-sensitivity in various Inspired Acoustics sample sets.
