Has anyone implemented FSRs for velocity.

Hello,

I have been messing around with FSRs lately and am finding they could make for some interesting designs.  Has anybody had any luck with velocity?  I set up a FSR as an anolog in and made it a note.  Works just like a pot and steps the note volume up and down.  Is there a way to only take the initial touch value as the note velocity and throw out the rest of the info till  the value returns to zero.

Thanks for any info.
