I'm not a keyboard player, but I've been playing guitar and other instruments long enough that I can find my way around a piano reasonably well.

But it seems like a monophonic keyboard is actually harder to play than a polyphonic. I'm always 'slurring' when I don't want to, and a lot of patches are very picky about velocity. There are so many ways to screw up. Adding to the general confusion are things like aftertouch, the mod wheel, pedals etc. I can understand the concepts but actually performing them in a controlled way is another matter.

Has anyone come up with warmups or drills specific to this instrument? Or does it just come with time?

P.S. Happy Easter!
