RE: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] poly pressure

2009-02-02 by John

Hi,

 

Have you tried adjusting the aftertouch?  If you click the master key
and check around you should find an aftertouch setting.  I think there
are 3 levels.  I hope this helps.

Subject: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] poly pressure

 

Hi all, first post here. I've read through a good deal of the last 
year's posts, and hope I can contribute soon. I'd like to give big 
props to k5kip for coming up with the BCR2000 presets, doesn't seem 
like anyone has given him much acknowledgement for this great 
breakthrough which brings the VFX up to today's hand's-on flexibility.

My question: which presets best demonstrate the VFX's polyphonic 
aftertouch abilities?

I just bought a used and slightly abused VFX (broken non-essential 
parts, stripped screws), and wondering if this creaky, bendy keyboard 
is typical of the VFX? Pressing down gives minimal aftertouch 
sensibility, and seems to require a lot of force. I'm still reading 
the manual trying to understand how to assign aftertouch to something 
obvious, like pitch bend, but it almost seems like I don't really have 
aftertouch... I'm beginning to wonder if the original aftertouch 
keyboard was taken out and replaced by another...
