Subject:velocity was XK-1 vs. XK-3, VASE II vs. VASE III

My understanding of how velocity works on a digital keyboard (like the
Electro) is that each key has two switches - one higher and one lower; the
computer looks at when the first contact was made and at when the second
contact was made - the faster the time between the two, the higher the
velocity.
Since these keyboards have the two contacts, Korg is able to give the user
the choice between which one to use to trigger the organ sound.
