The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

My personal complaint about the aftertouch is that there is no way of
adjusting the sensitivity.  By this I don't mean the effective level of the
parameter AT applies to a function -- everyone knows that you can adjust the
amount in the matrix.  What I'm talking about is that the pressure strip is
too sensitive and sends aftertouch too easily with just a light touch.  Has
anyone ordered a service manual for the AN yet?  If so, maybe we could look
at the schematics and see what might be altered to adjust sensitivity.
