Touch sensitivity of digital keyboard

[chongkeat]

I'm using a digital keyboard that comes with a touch sensitivity function that i can turn on and off. But I have to practice without it, because otherwise the song becomes jumbled with some really soft sound or sudden loud sounds.

So, are there any tips to make sure that all my strokes are controlled, i.e. it's loud only when i want it to be?

P.S. : Are real pianos very touch sensitive?

I have this problem at my dad's house. he only has a keyboard, and I have come to experience your problem.

I turn the touch sensitive thing on, and turn the volume up, so that when I play as I normally would, if comes out mp instead of pp as it would if I hadn't turned the volume control up.

Also, normal pianos arn't that touch sensitive. If you can get hold of one even just to play a few notes, you will be able to quickly tell the difference.

Depends on the piano. But if you want to learn decent pianoplaying without bothering other people with your noise, you better buy a digital piano like a yamaha clavinova, or if you have abit more money, a silenced accoustic piano.
If you learn everything on a keyboard you'll get serious problems when playing on an accoustic piano.

Agreed with Gyzzmo.  But in the least you need to keep touch sensitivity turned on.  Fingers have different strengths so we end up playing one note louder than the other.  You can only learn to control your fingers' touch if you can hear that.  You need the feedback of hearing that loud and soft in order to correct it.  The unevenness will soon disappear if you can work with it.
