Aftertouch

Aftertouch lets you, for example, add vibrato to a sound by applying further pressure to a note on the keyboard while it is being held down. This allows real-time expression and control. Aftertouch can be used to control a wide variety of parameters (Page 69).

Control Sets

Aside from their default parameters, keyboard aftertouch, the controllers and some of the knobs on the front panel can be assigned with various parameters, as explained on Page 38.

For example, you could assign Resonance to the Modulation Wheel and set aftertouch to apply vibrato. You are free to assign parameters to suit the kind of sound being played.

These controller assignments are known as Control Sets. As the following illustration shows, you can assign up to six different Control Sets per Voice. Within each Control Set, the controller is known as the Source (Src) and the parameter controlled by the Source is known as the Destination (Dest).

There are various Dest parameters available; some will apply to the Voice as a whole, while some will be specific to each of its Elements. Details are given in the Controls List of the separate Data List.

Details about the available Dest parameter settings are given in the Destination Parameter List of the separate Data List.

By creating Control Sets, you can change sounds in a variety of ways.

For example, set the Src (Source) parameter of Control Set 1 to MW (Modulation Wheel) and the Dest (Destination) parameter to ELFO-PM (Element LFO Pitch Modulation Depth). Then set the Src parameter of Control Set 2 also to MW, but set the Dest parameter to ELM PAN (Element Pan). You will also need to specify the Element to be controlled and also the depth (amount) of control.

In this example, when you move the Modulation Wheel upward, the amount of Pitch Modulation increases accordingly, the Element is panned from left to right. So in other words, you can assign several Dest parameters to each Src controller.

Continuing from the example above, now create another Control Set where Src is set to FC (Foot Controller) and Dest is set to ELFO-PM (Element LFO Pitch Modulation Depth). Again, specify the Element to be controlled and also the depth of control.

Now, Pitch Modulation is assigned to both the Modulation Wheel and Foot Controller. In other words, you can also assign several Src controllers

to each Dest parameter.

You can control the pitch modulation effect using either of Modulation Wheel (MW) and Foot Controller (FC).

The Element Switches (Page 70) will be disabled if the Dest parameter setting is not specific for Elements (i.e., for settings 00 to 33).

By assigning all six Control Sets, you will have a stunning degree of real-time control over the synthesizer’s sounds.
