Synapse Audio OBSESSION is now available!

use midi ox (?) to check what date is being transmitted

I already know it's not being transmitted because this cheap piece of shit doesn't transmit aftertouch. I didn't even think to ask the guy at the store if it transmitted aftertouch because it's such a f**king basic thing.

This is such bullshit! What $260 keyboard doesn't transmit aftertouch?

sorry I spoke...

I'm not mad at you. I'm just pissed off to hell that something basic like aftertouch doesn't come with EVERY MODERN KEYBOARD.

Yes, that seems the case. AT support is not the most common thing from what I've seen. I'm currently looking for a good feeling 61-Key MIDI controller with AT and it's not that easy.

Really? Wow, I can't believe it.

Most keyboards now don't come with after touch. Sadly for a keyboardist it is I believe essential. And apart from my traveling A/M Series NI, all my other keyboards have it....

Just checked the Thomann website, they have 70 different 49-key MIDI keyboards. Only 24 of them have aftertouch, and the cheapest one is Arturia's Keystep

Gotta be honest here...when I read that post last night I was like "of course it doesn't transmit aftertouch, which cheap keyboard controllers do?" It seemed like a crazy thing to expect. Then I googled it and saw the KeyLab Mk II had channel aftertouch and figured that's the one Wags must have so I let it drop. Come back in the morning, and lo-and-behold, I guess that's not the one Wags has after all. I guess everyone's learning not to assume.

Don't any of you find this just a little bit sad in this day and age?

Anyway, programming the hell out of Obsession and loving it. Very easy synth to program. Set up a MIDI track to test aftertouch (manually drawn in) so I can still program patches with it.

To be fair, if you're my age or anywhere near it, there was a time when almost every keyboard had AT.

Don't worry, I will NEVER make THAT mistake again.

But now I have to replace a keyboard that's only a few months old.

I find this interesting to read, as I remember you said you didn't enjoy, or found it hard to program the corresponding Oberheim in the past.

A few years ago I bought an Arturia 61 key controller and the return to zero spring on the pitch bend wheel broke the very first time I used it. I returned it and bought an Akai MPK261. I will no longer touch any hardware made by Arturia.

I'm not sure but maybe in meantime You could connect an expression pedal to it and map it to aftertouch

How do you like this keyboard? Is it sturdy? How many keys? How much? I trust your opinion on stuff.

Are you ready for this? This keyboard has no inputs for an expression pedal. NONE.

And even if it did, AT doesn't have a CC # so how can you map it anyway?

that's not true, I was a salesman and AT was never that common and on expensive boards like a Kharma...we had it all at Mars, all on display and hooked up working...I doubt even 10% had AT (that was the turn of the century)
