Hi Fritz,

Check the documentation for that Controller and find out how to set the Touch to different levels. Also might be a setting asomewhere that affects the Velocity of each note that needs tweaking to match your chosen MIDI synth.

Most Controllers also have some sort of Factory Reset routine that restores all internal settings to the original state as shipped. Might be a good idea to perform that and start from there, if you then don't like the Velocity you get, which indeed can often sound like a Volume problem when set to extremes, then start experimenting with different Touch Curves that the Controller offers. There's more to that setting than just the feel of the keyboard, it often also affects the *punch* of each note. This can usually be set such that it might affect *either* extreme - setting the Touch to be too soft can result in the MIDI parts sounding like someone is constantly banging too hard on the Piano, for instance.
