At 1:17 he mentions these have release velocity. You don't see that often. Velocity allows you to affect a sound based on how hard or quickly you hit the keys. Aftertouch allows you to affect a sound based on pressure you apply to the keys after pressing them. Release velocity, however, allows you to affect a sound based on how quickly you remove your hands from the keyboard. In short it offers an extra level of expression and can be quite useful. It's one thing I really liked about the Oberheim Matrix-6 keyboard. A simple example would be to assign the amplitude envelope release level to release velocity so that if you release quickly the sound cuts off, but if you release slowly the sound sustains.
