Hi Quick question........ Dopes anybody know if the CS6X has the same sensitive aftertouch, or can this be switched off on this model?

The Ctrl Matrix settings affect only the internal tone generator and do not appear at the MIDI Out port for the MIDI Tx channel. So, it's not so much a case of disbaling aftertouch to internal sounds but rather enabling aftertouch. Under UTILITY/SETUP you are simply assinging MIDI CC's to the physical controllers (knobs 1-8, mod wheel, foot pedals, ribbon controller) on the AN1x. Aftertouch is part of the MIDI specification (just as Velocity, Note On, Note Off, etc.) and can be considered related to MIDI CCs - although it's not a MIDI CC in itself. AT cannot be disabled on the AN1x but it can be assigned to a 2nd controller using the Ctrl Device and Ctrl No. parameters but still there is no provision for scaling the amount. Assignments made under Ctrl Device and Ctrl No. appear at the MIDI Out port for the MIDI Tx channel AND also affect the internal tone generator if that controller is mapped under the Ctrl Matrix. This is beneficial for any number of uses. Example: assign 'Data Entry' to Knob 1 - when editing Delay settings this makes short work of scrolling through the large data range as opposed to using the rocker button. The data also appears at the MIDI Out port so you can make use of the same function to edit values on your MIDI sound modules or DAW software or whatever. > > > > > > > > Hi there, > > As a reasonably newbie to the AN1x (but playing synths for 25 years)..this > aftertouch is definitely a problem. > > The keyboard is FAR too sensitive (and I only have a very light touch!). > This is entirely subjective but many agree with you. > This is definitely a design fault... it maybe OK with a midi filter into a > software seq... but plugging into my MC 505 is a nightmare...all I do is > thin data all day and watch my memory get chewed :-( > > Any suggestions greatly appreciated ! > Back in the late eighties/early nineties MIDI Patchbays were fairly common but are now less popular - replaced by multiport MIDI Interfaces for many users. There were models from Digital Music Corp (MX8) subsequently bought by Ensoniq (KMX8 and KMX16) and models from Kawai (MAV8) and probably others that I've overlooked. Many of these patchbays allowed for filtering of specific MIDI CCs - including AT - by MIDI port/ch. You can often find these items for auction on eBay at relatively low prices. Some of the early mulitport MIDI Interfaces from the likes of Opcode (Studio 4 and Studio 5 for example) allowed for filtering to be programmed from your computer and retained in FlashROM for the MIDI Interface after power down - making it a portable solution akin to a MIDI Patchbay. Similar features appeared on later models such as the Studio 64x and 128x that were cross platform. Unfortunately, support for these models has long since disappeared now that Opcode is defunct so drivers may not be available for current OS'. Another solution would be hardware filters placed onto the MIDI chain inbetween your MIDI In and Out ports of your controller and sound module. Some examples: http://www.midisolutions.com/products.htm -> MIDI Solutions Router http://www.logiq-electronics.com/ -> Micro MIDI Filter http://www.forefront.freeserve.co.uk/products.htm -> FT4 MIDI Filter also, Anatek (now out of business?) made many such devices - again, check eBay for cheap 2nd hand prices. Hope this helps.
