Thanks! So - midi velocity translates to PWM and hence solenoid force? Cool. You can always add some kind of mapping function if lower velocities are too low force. Nice work.

(old pre-electronics player pianos could do dynamics but most relied heavily on input from the operator to do so - with various limitations - it's probably a good plan to avoid directly imitating them :-)
