Hi All,
Here's a little preview of something I've been working on, and am quite proud of it.
I've been working on a new software for key balancing. I call it Inertia Touch Wave. My goal was to make it as simple as possible, and at the same time make it effective. After about a year of trial and error i finally have settled on what has become a pretty cool system. It uses a different way to measure – function of the whole rather than the individual parts.

I have eliminated these measurements-
1)action ratio
2)measuring all parts independently
3)Front Weight

and replaced them with what I think is more accurate:
1) FKL  (Front Key Length)
2) Inertia
3) Keyweight

Overall, there is less measurements to take than in other systems I have looked at.

I like keyweight better than front weight because when you start with a targeted gram weight the proper placement of lead in the key solves itself to arrive at a specific Downweight.

The inertia measurement turned out to be a key element,   it is what I like to call the "conductor for the orchestra" because it tells you when all of the other elements (DW,UW,F, All Mass, and leverage) are working in harmony with each other.

The software is finished, and I am currently working on a User Manual. After I use it on a few more actions, and with feedback from some fine pianists I know, i'll hopefully get it released sooner rather than later.

Shout out to Dale Erwin who helped choose the name over the others I had.

Here's the first reaction of the first action with the inertia balanced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zSlMpYM04k

Here is a screen shot of the main interface.
