Velocity Sensitivity

2015-10-20 by chipaudette@yahoo.com

Hi All,


As you might now, I've had a long road of fun modifications to my Polysix. I've replaced the keybed with a sweet Fatar. The new keybed enabled me to implement aftertouch pitch vibrato, which is cool. Putting in the pitch vibrato also enabled me to do portamento and variable-detuning for my Unison mode. Those are very cool additions.


The new keybed also gave me dreams of adding velocity sensitivity to the Polysix. It's been a long time, but I'm finally diving into it. I'm making my Polysix have velocity senstivity!


If you're interested, here's a high-level overview of my plan:

More details are coming in follow-up posts.


Has anyone else added velocity sensitivity to any of their synths (Polysix or otherwise)? How did you do it?
