Live 5: Assigning Aftertouch / Pressure

Hey guys,

After having beat my head on the desk reading through the manual for Live 5, I have not been able to solve how to assign aftertouch or pressure values on my Radium 61 or Trigger Finger. I have been told that you have to do this inside of Live, not through the actual hardware.

What I want to do is assign a drum sample to a particular key or pad on either device, and then when I apply increased pressure, have the aftertouch control a low pass filter, reverb or delay effect amount.

How the heck would I do this? :cry: I know it can be done, because on M-Audio's website, there is a video talking about Trigger Finger and this exact setup is shown to work really well with a snare sound...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, short of calling tech support! :D

As always, thanks in advance!!

you can create a "channel pressure" envelope for a midi clip in either session or arrangement view. click on/select your clip, go to the "envelopes" section in of the clip's properties and in the parameter select drop down menu, "channel pressure" (aka aftertouch) is your second option. you can draw your envelopes to your heart's content!
HOWEVER...(as i re-read your question and realized I didn't really answer it :oops: ....)
while you can assign things like knobs and buttons, there doesn't *appear* to be any way to use AT as a MIDI controller for an assignable cc parameter on a vst assigned to an effect in Live 5.0.2...you *can* use the envelopes described above, but that's hardly "Live" control-- good FR to post on the Abe's site (if we're not missing something and it in fact *can* be done...)

Yeah, but he doesn't want to draw envelopes- he wants to use AT as a realtime controller...

Yes, EW. Precisely right! I want to be able to tell the channel pressure to affect the amount of filter, amount of reverb, distortion, or even volume.

I hope someone knows how to tell Live what channel pressure can be assigned to...
