Aftertouch question...

[jdevil]

I am a n00b, so sorry if I sound retarded. This is a question for my lead sound and aftertouch. Is there a way to make a note jump up on octave when I push down the key harder? (And when I release pressure on the key, it'll go back to it's original octave.) I have a Korg Triton LE76 and am very new to the world of keyboard.

Thanks for your help,
JJ

I assume so. I don't have a Triton LE, but there should be a couple of places where you might find the commands to do it:

- In a modulation matrix, where you assign aftertouch as a source and pitch as a destination

- In the "pitch" pages where you might have a list modulation sources to choose from (and you would choose aftertouch as the source and +12 as the depth.

The pitch modulation on aftertouch is a little bit sloppy. I've done it before and even with a range of +2, it comes back to center with some unpredictability. However, each keyboard is different and each player is different so you should try it out.

Those fast jumps can be cool. How i've done it ... is to program +12 and +24 ranges on the pressure parameter of a ribbon. That's been pretty controllable. YMMV.

Best,

Haha, can you be any more specific at all? I am literally a n00b. I know maybe 3.141592654% of keyboard programming.

Well, I figured out one part right. I figured out how to make the note jump up an octave. I like how it immediately jumps up an octave upon aftertouch, but how can I define it so it has a slow decline back to the root?

Thanks again,

it's actually 3.1415926535897932384626433832795... something. That's what I know off the top of my head anyway.

A friend of mine learned about 500 numbers of pi... just because he felt bored. He still remembers them all.

500!!! :shock:
buh

You guys should read "Contact" by Carl Sagan. I just finished it, and the book ends with a very special discourse on Pi. Of course, it's a science-fiction book, so I'm sure that Pi doesn't actually occur the way the book says, but it sure would be hella cool if it did. :D
