10.4 Aftertouch Settings
The third Track Select button accesses the aftertouch (AFT) settings for Launchpad Pro.
10.4.A - Aftertouch Settings view
The Pressure Mode can be chosen to be Aftertouch disabled, Polyphonic Aftertouch or Channel
Pressure. The selected mode will be brightly lit, the other dimly lit.
Channel Pressure sends out a single pressure value for all pads/notes. The highest pressure value
across the 8x8 grid will be transmitted. Polyphonic Aftertouch allows for each pad/note to send out
its own pressure value. This allows for expressive playing of supported instruments.
Polyphonic Aftertouch is not currently supported in Ableton Live, and Channel Pressure should be
used in this case.
The Aftertouch Threshold can be set to be off, low, or high. When set to off, pressure messages will
be sent out as soon as a pad/note is pressed. When set to low, a threshold pressure must be reached
before pressure messages will be sent out. When set to high, a higher pressure is required before
pressure messages will be sent out.
Using an Aftertouch Threshold is useful for when you do not want to immediately engage the
parameter related to aftertouch whenever a pad is pressed.
