Re: EX 8000 question: does it receive aftertouch information

2013-05-18 by randaldinga

Sorry for the waste of space!  I managed to find the EX 8000 manual [it looked like the DW manual at first glance] and the answer seems to be 'yes' - Has anyone here had any issues,  controlling the EX 8000 or otherwise?
This is the last piece of the puzzle in my project setup and now al I need to do is to make up my mind between this and the DL 50.  I hate have to choose!
