Zephyr Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I have an axiom 61, how do I use aftertouch, what does it do, and how do I set it up? I checked the manual but it was useless. Can anybody help me out here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Thanks, but how can I set that up, or if it is running, what kind of generators use it? (I use fl studio) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fray Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I know nothing about FLStudio, but you'll need to check whatever synth you're using to make sure it actually does anything in response to aftertouch. Most synths are pretty configurable in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 You can configure midi parameters in FL Studio, though I forget how. Aftertouch is possible though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannthr Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Aftertouch is a MIDI parameter that is initiated on certain keyboards when you press into the key. There are two kinds of aftertouch: Channel and Note. Most Aftertouch capable keyboards use Note-Aftertouch, many DAWs use Channel Aftertouch because it's difficult to write in the aftertouch for a single note when many notes could be graphically layerd atop one another. It is a rare thing for a synth or virtual instrument to use aftertouch as it's not standard on MIDI keyboards, but the ones that do and that also have good programming can be used to create very compelling performances. My main electric guitar library uses aftertouch often times as a vibrato control, letting me play a note and then ease into a vibrato layer.

Lunahorum Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 O sounds cool. I don't know how necessary but adds a cool touch. That probably explains how those youtubers were making vibrato by moving their hand around on the keys that were already pressed down.

DZComposer Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Some keyboards support the aftertouch CC, but don't actually support it on the action (keys). Mine is that way, so I use an analog foot pedal to send aftertouch data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
