What is "playable" as related to keyswitches?

[leander]

My question today:
The manual uses the term "playable" for some keyswitches. For example on page 83 several keyswitches use it. What does that mean?

Off the top of my head I think it may mean that they are not below the range of the keyboard.

I haven't seen an explanation of this term, but I tried a "playable" solo violin trill a few months ago and discovered it plays one note of the trill when you depress a key and plays the other note when you release the key. I guess "playable" means it's useful in a live performance.

That sounds alot more reasonable!:)
