What is the CC/midi number for poly aftertouch?

[ghostwhistler]

My keys don't have it, I want to paint some in. I can only see channel pressure which is regular aftertouch. Thanks

Aftertouch messages are defined as:

Status: 0xA0 to 0xAF where the low nibble is the MIDI channel.
Data: Two data bytes follow the Status.
The first data is the note number. There are 128 possible notes on a MIDI device, numbered 0 to 127 (where Middle C is note number 60). This indicates to which note the pressure is being applied.The second data byte is the pressure amount, a value from 0 to 127 (where 127 is the most pressure).

So it is message type 10, with the MIDI channel, note number and pressure amount.

Its polyphonic. Your DAW needs to support per voice automation. If the DAW uses expressions, its an expression, not Midi... That will be translated to poly aftertouch or MPE if necessary to be passed on to a plugin that only understands Midi...
Ergo, what is your DAW? Which plugins do you want to control with polyphonic aftertouch?

I use Reaper. I don't know which other vst's I use can do it, but the cs80 V version 4 by arturia I believe can.

You cannot paint in poly aftertouch messages in Reaper, unfortunately. It's a long-standing feature request.

That's a shame, thanks anyway
