I'm new to Remote Control, please forgive me if this a stupid question.
Is it possible to have Remote Control capture Aftertouch? I'm trying to make a basic frontend that can remap Aftertouch to CC1 (Mod Wheel), so I can load it on a channel as a sort of MIDI plugin to take my AT from my life keyboard controller & pass it along to a plugin that either doesn't have AT or has lame, I mean limited AT but has decent Mod Wheel capabilities.
I've tried every way I can think of to get that to work with Remote Control. If anyone out there knows how I could do it, please let me know. I it's outside the scope of RC, is it possible to have it added to RC as a new feature? No offense, but it seems like it's due for an update pretty soon. I wasn't even born when it got it's last update.
Or if anyone knows of another product that might do the trick, I'm open to suggestions. I've got RC & PlugNScript, but I'm still trying to get up to speed on both. I've been working with the demo version of Bome MIDI Translator Pro, but that was written when Windows 95 was just about to come out. It says it supports W10, but I'm not sure. I'm not having much luck with this project. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Thank you in advance.

Remote Control only works with MIDI CC so it does not receive Aftertouch messages.
With Plug'n Script you can do whatever you want with incoming MIDI messages. So you could indeed transform Aftertouch messages to any type of other event. There are a couple of MIDI sample scripts that you can use to get started.

I appologize for not replying to this. I am (hopfully) nearing the end of a LONG battle of poor health. I just came home from the hospital 2 weeks ago & am trying to follow up on whatever I am able to follow up on.
This is very important to me, but I was never able make any progress on finding the scripts mentioned here & it would mean a great deal to me if I could finally understand this. I am embarrassed to say, I have been working on this for many YEARS. I have followed many paths & have been told many times (not by Blue Cat Audio) that this was easy, but that's all the further I ever get. Nobody ever comes right out & says, "this is how to receive Aftertouch/Channel Pressure data". What is "Aftertouch/Channel Pressure" called in Plug 'n Script? Is it a Function or a Procedure or what? Is there a way to lookup all of the Predefined items?
I would REALLY appreciate it if you would just tell me what the names of the "couple of MIDI sample scripts that can use to get me started" are. I have been unable to find any scripts that look to me like they would "get me started". I'm sure if I could just get started, I would be able make enough progress to work this out.
Your help is most appreciated.

The best way to get started is to look at the scripts in the MIDI FX section that manipulate MIDI data. None of them actually uses aftertouch, but if you look at the Midi.hxx header file in the library folder (in your PnS Documents), it defines the After touch event type and gives you to functions to read (getChannelAfterTouchValue) and write (setChannelAfterTouchValue) the value on this type of event.

THANK YOU! You have been most helpful. I FINALLY feel like I have enough info to start working with Plug 'n Script. One day I may be able to write the 10 lines of code it will most likely take to create the "AT to Mod Wheel" program I've been trying to write for (this is true, but very embarrassing 
) more than 10 years.
I am very gratefull for you taking the time to help me.
