i know not all VSTi respond to aftertouch, but are there any with patches that are designed with aftertouch in mind? i know that Albino recognizes it, but since i have never used aftertouch, i don't know if it has any sounds that take advantage of it.

A lot of Absynth patches use aftertouch,as do a number of Xphraze's combis.

Rhino takes advantage of aftertouch, for sure. Basically, any synth with a modulation source of aftertouch can use it on whatever modulation destination you choose. Cameleon 5000 does this as well.

CS-80V responds to both channel and polyphonic aftertouch (one of the few that do).

The original CS-80 has a full poly aftertouch keyboard, which the CS-80V emulates very well PLUS it adds a full modulation matrix that lets you assign aftertouch to 60+ different parameters.

I use an Elka keyboard that does poly aftertouch, and it works brilliantly!

cheers.

Do any of the synths you guys mentioned have patches that use aftertouch?

Check the comment ssection within Rhino to see if aftertouch affects anything.

DocT and Summa made some rather nifty aftertouch exploitable patches for Virsyn's Tera2 synth.

Hmmm. Must go play with tera right now...

i was just wondering myself recently how you assign which parameter is being 'aftertouched"

Pick a program that has modulation sources and destinations first, guy. Smile You pick 'aftertouch' as a source, then pick from a list of destinations, such as LFO speed, depth, rate, pitch, resonance, cutoff freqeuncy, etc etc etc. All depends on the synth.
