I would loose more than what I gain.
There is nothing as "triple sensor data" in MIDI standard, as discussed already a few times in this forum; the triple sensor is used internally by the keyboard electronics/firmware to calculate the Note velocity and improve accuracy, particularly when playing repeated notes, but then what you get at MIDI level is the usual Note on/off messages (with some keyboards sending a Note off after each half-key-release repeat, some instead sending one or all Note Off messages after full release of the key and this creates a problem to interface keyboards or Virtual Instruments who manage this aspect differently)

Yes.. I miss the fact that I can re-play a note after half releasing it. It is something I can "feel" and don't want to lose.

You will not lose it, even if manipulating the velocity curve externally as I suggested, as far as NG will generate MIDI properly (which I supposed it does, at least give it a try)

That's strange, maybe you could monitor the MIDI flow sent by NG when you do a half-release repeat (fast repetition), to see what it actually sends (Pianoteq has a built in MIDI Monitor) and post it here
