Aftertouch

I love my Keylab, but the aftertouch is awfully hard to trigger: I really have to press to trigger it. AT Min is 0, Max is 127, sensitivity is High. Is there something I’m missing?

In comparison the AT on the Keystep 37 is like butter.

Hey @pentermezzo

Have you tried adjusting its velocity curve at all?
From memory, you should be able to do by hooking it up to Arturia’s Midi Control Centre and customising the settings yourself from there.

HTH!

The Aftertouch curve, in addition to the velocity curve, can be selected on the KLmk3 itself, in the Settings / Keyboard tab, where you already have the Aftertouch Min/Max values and Sensitivity.
The Curve can be set to Global (as defined in Settings / Global /Global Curves), Linear, Logarithmic, Exponential or Custom (the 5-points Custom Curve is also defined in Settings / Global /Global Curves)

Hi,

I’m interested in how the controller work.

May i ask:

Is it a choice between either using the Global Curve setting or the Sensitivity setting or are they/ can they be combined?

For me Curves should be used to fit the nuances in my playing going from soft to hard.
The sensitivity to set how fast/ hard to play to hit the max value in a linear curve or in any other curve.
Two values to adapt the functionality to ones personal playing style. Some play softer/ harder than others and have a personal natural playing curve.
I don’t think a curve should be used too hit max modulation values at a lower velocity only like a - except within the set sensitivity - as that effectively will reduce how many velocity steps and nuances the playing can have.

So how exactly does it work?

Is it the same for both Aftertouch and Velocity?

Also is the Sensitivity working so a HIGH setting mean it respond at a lower touch?

That’s a VERY good question! :+1:
