Hi,
I started using Synthesia recently with a M-Audio Keystation 49 MK3 MIDI keyboard controller. However, despite the touch sensitivity of the keys working in DAWs like Ableton Live Lite (i.e. the volume scales with how hard I press the keys), the same doesn't happen in Synthesia. It seems binary in Synthesia - either I hit the key or not - it doesn't at all care how hard I pressed the keys, it'll always play at the same volume.
Is this expected? Or is there something I can do to get the key sensitivity working? This is on Windows 10 with game version 10.8.5686.
Cheers!

Key sensitivity not detected? (solved)
When describing problems, always mention your OS and game version (shown at the bottom of the title screen).
If your keyboard has USB or MIDI ports, there is a tremendously high chance (>99%) it will work with Synthesia. See what you'll need on the keyboards page.

Ah, I found the issue. I had boosted the keyboard volume to 200% in the Synthesia settings when I first started because it sounded so quiet. Turns out that for some reason removes any sensitivity and each keystroke just sounds the same as a result, when you do that. Reducing that down to 100% fixes the issue!
