I've noticed a problem with the aftertouch on the pads of my XL-7. When I route aftertouch to, say, the filter, then when I press a pad, the filter initially opens the harder I press the pad (and I have to press pretty hard for this to happen), but then seems to close again when I press even harder. A bit awkward to explain. It works ok with an external aftertouch capable keyboard via MIDI. It's not the main board, I tried swapping it for a spare I have (which has other problems) and the problem persisted.

It's not that much of an issue as I don't really like using aftertouch on the pads anyway. But I'd still like it to work.

Has anyone else noticed something similar? It could be something I've set up incorrectly, although I can't think of what.

BTW, I'm still in awe about the recent upload of the main board schematic to the file section. It doesn't cover the front panel though so in my particular case it is of little help, although I'm sure it will come in very handy when there's a problem on the main board one day.
