Aftertouch
Aftertouch is a performance feature that allows you to add modulation to
a sound by applying additional pressure to a key after the key is already
down. The greater the pressure applied, the more modulation is applied.
The Prophet-6 provides monophonic (or “channel”) aftertouch, which
means that applying pressure to any key within a chord will apply modu-
lation to all notes currently held.
The Aftertouch section lets you choose the amount of modulation
applied using aftertouch and which parameters are modulated (oscilla-
tor frequency, lter cutoff, etc.). You can set either a positive or negative
amount.
For example, if you select the Low-Pass Filter as destination (
filter lp),
set a positive amount of aftertouch, then press the keys harder, the lter
cutoff frequency will increase, making the lter open wider and the
sound become brighter.
Conversely, if you select the Low-Pass Filter as destination (
filter lp),
set a negative amount of aftertouch, then press the keys harder, the lter
cutoff frequency will be lowered, making the lter close more and the
sound become more muted.
The Prophet-6 provides four different aftertouch response settings for your
convenience. The default setting provides a linear response. To choose a different
response curve, use the at response button in the globals section. See page 14 for
more details.
