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, filter 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 filter
cutoff frequency will increase, making the filter 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 filter
cutoff frequency will be lowered, making the filter 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.
