Do the Radium controllers have velocity sensitive keys?

What are the main diffs between those and the evolutions? I thought the only main diff wld be the velocity (other than the extra knobs etc on the evos). But when I checked out a Radium i saw a 'velocity' word printed above one of the keys.
Can anyone tell me what that is for? Does it HAVE velocity sensitive keys??
DJule
Certainly, yes. The Evolution keyboards have velocity sensitive keys. I think the Radium controller too!
rafale
So why the huge price gap??
DJule
Could you give the links to the two controllers please? Just to know of which product you're talking about.

Yeah, I have a radium 49. The keys are velocity sensitive, and that key is for adjusting how velocity sensitive they are.
rafale
then whats the main improvement in the evolution series over the radiums that makes em cost so much more?
[Chriz]
i would think that its because the evolution has got 10 memory locations while the radium doesn't have..and thats the reason why the evolution is more expensive...
rafale
alright.. i think i'll take the radium over the evolution then coz i plan to work more with hard synths.. dun really need those extra knobs/buttons and memory locations.

is that the right reasoning ?? =P
[Chriz]
actually can't you turn your hard synths local off so that you can use it as a midi keyboard??that way you save more $$....

rafale
i plan to get rack/desktop versions.
[Chriz]
ahhh okie....yup i think getting the radium would be sufficient...i'm using the radium as well..
