Aftertouch
scale
Defines a factor (threshold value) for the aftertouch scale.
As the name would imply, "aftertouch" is the pressure applied to a key once it has been pressed. The
keyboard determines how much force is applied, converts this value into an aftertouch command, and
sends it to predefined destinations. This data may be employed to shape tone, for example, to generate
vibrato or modulate the filter frequency (see below). The harder you bear down on a key after striking it,
the higher the aftertouch value and the more intense its influence on the given sound. In Neuron (and
via MIDI), aftertouch is monaural, meaning that the aftertouch modulation affects the entire sound
rather than individual voices.
Value range: 0 to 127. 0 deactivates the function. At low values, aftertouch is less responsive; a value of
127 gives you the full dynamic range.
Neuron treats aftertouch like an internal controller for which you can define up to four simultaneous
destinations. Go to the controller menu to do this. While you are there, you can also define the depth for
every destination. In addition to the "global" scale value, you can adjust aftertouch depth individually
for each destination.
For more on this, pore over page 165.
Note also in this context the menu option for calibrating aftertouch (see page 28).
MIDI Glb Ch Determines the global send and receive channel for MIDI data (MIDI global channel) for sound mode. In
sound mode, Neuron responds to incoming MIDI data only when the defined MIDI global channel and
send channel numbers are identical.
Value range: 0 to 16. 0 denotes omni, meaning that Neuron processes incoming messages on all MIDI
channels. For more on this, pore over page 178.
In setup mode, the individual sound-related MIDI channel settings in the setup menu apply - see
page 61.
