one note at a time like on a piano. Doing these palm smears on
synth/piano keybeds that are not specifically designed for this
traditional method *will* eventually damage either the keybed, or the
palm.

Bah.. what are you talking about? I can play 'em all day and night on
my controller just like THIS (does big traditional palm smear on
nearby synth controller )))))))))) !#^*&@ OWW Ouch oww dammit help

fingernail off owh agh no no the pain.. help I've fallen and I can't
get up.. (later) Doc if them dern kids hadn't gotten me so riled up
it never would've happened ~ W

*You have to put your hand down with the fingers and thumb arched up
a bit higher than your palm and vibrate your hand from side to side
just a little as you go up so you don't catch a key.
