ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a touch response sensor for an electronic musical instrument capable of producing a signal responsive to a key depressing speed upon depression of a key. In order to produce such a signal from the sensor, the latter comprises two switches which are operated in turn by a single drive piece with a time lag determined by the key depressing speed. The secondarily operated switch may be a switch capable of producing a signal responsive to a key depressing pressure and including a resistant member and a resilient member having a conductive portion facing the resistant member thereby, upon depression of the resilient member through the key, to produce a resistance variation signal responsive to the key depressing pressure.
