![]() ![]() If you need polyphonic aftertouch and you own a keyboard with aftertouch you can user gig performer to make it polyphonic aftertouch. That is, there would be some difference introduced by a human's inherent lack of that kind of precision of control, so without having to have superhuman command of finger pressure, just using aftertouch at all on multiple notes at once, with a poly AT system, would yield a result where the modulation applied to the two notes will probably no longer be applied in perfect unison, but instead, each note will behave slightly independently from the other (in the sonic change that AT is applying), which I think could produce a more organic sounding result. I think you could press harder on both notes, but without trying to command your fingers specifically to press harder on one than the other, even if you were trying to press the same amount on both, you probably couldn't quite. but also, maybe you do want to affect both notes, though not identically, without any kind of superhuman control. yes, you could press harder on just one and give it an effect that won't apply to the other. Or being able to play multiple notes and have them sound more "alive" merely as a result of their not all being processed identically.Īs an extension of that last part: Imagine playing two notes. It's about playing whatever number of notes, and being able to affect one of them, without affecting all of them. Pretty useless feature.It's not about playing 10 notes with different amounts of modulation or whatever. I can bet that no one on earth can individually command their 10 fingers like an octapus tentacles and even if someone can manage to do it, they would look like Hendrick Van Der Decken.

There are plenty of PAT keyboards on the market not just the Montage M8x - Waldorf, UDO Super Gemini, Hydrasynth, Korg Keystage, and NI Kontrol MKIII. Not having to use one hand or foot controllers to modulate at the note vs channel level is powerful. It is hardly a useless feature and can add incredible power and emotion, particularly on a split. Have you actually played a keyboard with poly aftertouch (PAT)? I have, including a CS-80. Montage could already handle large enough number of elements (layers) already. Orchestral performances require special arrangment and the demos you hear are bascially too simplistic to be considered professionally done.ġ28 elements is minor improvement over Montage if no advanced sample synthesis features are added to AWM2. A $10 library and some free sampler VST is capable of doing it. Most of those orchestral Taa-Daa stuff in demos are absolute nonsense. I have extensively programed orchestral and synth voices on for MOTIF series and I can only imagine very few scenarios where PL-AT is useful and what you said about AT in MOTIF and Montage is absolutely correct. I hope I am proven wrong, but considering AT was not used a lot in presets anyway on either top Yamaha or Korg or Roland boards with AT the last decades your mileage may vary. If you want to use the AT you’d probably have to program a lot yourself. A few patches that you will hear on demo’s over and over again and the rest of the thousands of sounds, hardly any. I expect ply AT to be in the same ballpark on the new montage. I wonder how many presets have been redone in the Montage to use Poly AT, since the AT of the original Montage was hardly used in most presets either. ![]() I’ve had Roli seaboard stuff since day one (currently the Rise 2) and poly AT - here in de form of MPE is very controllable and an enhancement to the old fashioned mono AT if the porgrammaing of the sounds does anything useful with it of course. ![]()
