KEY CONTROLLER (LSI16: HG52E35P)

The key controller generates key scan signals and provides them to the keyboard. By counting the time between first-key input signal FI and second-key SI from the keyboard, the key controller detects key velocity. The note number and its velocity data are read at regular intervals by the CPU.
