Aftertouch-Set up for volume fade out

[jetrocker]

Can someone walk me thru setting up aftertouch on my AT to have overall volume fade out? In this case, I'm using program H084, Stereo Strings. I have not been able to find info or tutorial for this.
Thank you.

There are a couple of ways. The first is to go to the filter page for each oscillator - Filter 1 and Filter 2. On each page, you will see LEVEL. Next to that is AMS. Select Aftertouch and set INTENSITY to -99. Do it for both.

The other way is to go to the IFX page. Go to the INSERT IFX tab. There are already 3 IFX in use. Chain IFX3 to IFX4 by checking the box next to IFX3. Turn IFX4 on. Select STEREO COMPRESSOR.

Now go to the IFX 1-12 tab. If you don't see Stereo Compressor, select IFX4. Towards the bottom of the compressor settings, set GAIN ADJUST to -INF.
Set WET/DRY to DRY. Next to that is SOURCE, select Aftertouch. For AMOUNT, select +100.

Mike, thank you very much for the info! I set up the first way and it works, however the volume change is a step change to zero volume when pressing the keys down harder. I was looking to gradually fade out the sound... maybe not possible? Again, thank you for your help. Mark

You should be able to slowly apply pressure and get that long fade out. I am able to do it, but I'm using an external keyboard, because my Nautilus is not the aftertouch model.

Go to GLOBAL - BASIC page and try a different AFTERTOUCH CURVE setting.

Also, in the program, you can go back to Filter Levels (there are 4 on this program Lowpass/Bandpass) and instead of Aftertouch, select AMS Mixer 1. Now go to the AMS Mix tab and you will see the AMS Mixer 1 is set up for SMOOTHING. What that does is smooth out you Aftertouch response. You can increase the attack and delay response times.
