Assignable Aftertouch Feature - ICON Inspire 5air Owner's Manual

Assignable AfterTouch Feature

InSpire-air has an assignable AfterTouch feature, which is a bit like giving the
keyboard a set of MIN and MAX values in order to limit the scope of expression
the keyboard will provide. This can give the performer more precise control over
the musical results. Possible uses of this feature include using a synth patch
whose filter "opens" and "closes" more predictably with AfterTouch control, or
playing a percussion sound with a limited range of dynamics, so that soft or
"ghosted" notes are eliminated.
The AfterTouch can be assigned to a MIDI channel (not a Global Channel) for
ease of use, and so its min/max values will not affect other F-slot presets.
Assigning AfterTouch to a MIDI Channel
Press "Chan Assign (Advanced + Chan Assign)" and
press any key with a strong downward motion until
you see "At" on the LCD screen. Once you see "At,"
rotate the jogwheel to select the channel from 1-16.
Setting the AfterTouch Min/Max Values
With AfterTouch assigned to a channel, you can now
set the Min/Max values.
Press the "Min (Advanced + Min)" button, then press
any key with the same strong downward motion until
you see "At" at the LCD. Rotate the jogwheel to select
the valve from 0-127. Repeat the process for the Max
value by pressing the "Max (Advanced + Max)" button.
The numeric buttons or the +/- keys do not apply to this
feature.
When you have assigned the AfterTouch values, store
the settings in an F-slot, for easy recall and switching
between altered and standard keyboard modes.
Michael Says:
"Synths respond to AfterTouch only if there is something that the
synth setting will be able to "see" or "do". If your filter has a
"wow" or a "sweep," or if a percussion sound has the ability to be
played over and over again in rapid succession, then AfterTouch
can help control these features. The more you restrict the range of
values, the "tighter" the control you will have over these sounds,
and the more predictably they will respond. The MIN value is like
setting the attack threshold, and the MAX is like setting the top
volume or the release time. Your ear and fingers can tell you how
"tight" the values need to be for the results you want!"
