Did you get a chance to try this with the latest update? It should be sorted now, but I couldn't fully test it on my end. I'm pushing another update later today with even more refined aftertouch, plus MPE support.

Anybody else using with Push 3 have any issues?
Hi, just got back from a trip, and testing now.

It's better, but still not correct.

Using patch : kb sweet dreams when adding more than one note the sound breaks up.

Hey everybody, the biggest update yet just got uploaded!

What's new in 2.3:
Full MPE support. Seaboard and other MPE controllers now get real per-note pitch, pressure and slide, and you choose what pressure does: swell the note, drive the modulation matrix, or both.

The rest:
- Aftertouch that behaves on any keyboard. The strike spike no longer misfires it, and your calibration stays put while you browse.
- A deeper modulation matrix: bipolar depths, FM and both LFOs (rate and depth) as targets, and a pitch envelope for punch and 808 drops.
- A new physically-modelled exciter: a plucked string or modal ping struck into the convolution body, from a touch of attack to a full plucked voice.
- Preset packs: drop a .strangpack on to install a collection, switch banks, import and export presets.
- A big GUI performance fix on Windows, and a long list of small ones.

Free update for everyone who owns it. A lot of this came straight out of this thread, so thank you.

Lovely !! I can attest to the Aftertouch being much smooth, and more musical feeling now. Thanks for this update. Interested in the new plucked strings. New banks feature + import/export sounds like there's going to be more presets so this is really great news. Thanks for your hard work here.
