T6 aftertouch and Os update question

[Wairarapa]

Hey All,

Just picked up my T6 today, a have 2 questions if anyone here could help please ?

firstly is there any way to turn the aftertouch down, its super over-responsive even with the pot turned down.

secondly, is there a software update available right now - I'm trying to find the current OS version ?

(I'm on ver 1.01)

thx so much.

After touch is not great.

I blame the keyboard. - Although they (keyboard makers*) make decent keybeds, the switch between light and hard pressure is mostly just a *switch*.  :/  [Very little "ramping"]
There is very little "transition" between hard and light.
And the "curves" (are not really 'curves') hardly make a difference. (I know what you mean.)

And this is on all recent synths. Maybe, minus the poly-after-touch keyboards.
After-touch seems to be an on/off switch.

There are global aftertouch curves in the Globals menu. It’s labelled on one of the numerical buttons.

thanks so much I'll take a look now

Which curve is the most responsive?

The new 1.1.2 update fixes the poor aftertouch response.  It's a lot better now!

It definitely takes a fair amount of constraint to not go 100% with the aftertouch on most keybeds (I remember Summit being particularly bad), but I find the trick is to press the keys as far to the front as you can - the additional leverage makes them a tiny bit easier to depress, thus by not needing to press quite so hard, you’re a little less likely to overshoot your mark. It’s not much, but I find it does help a little bit. I have the desktop version, but I also have a Prophet 10 and a Virus TI2 Polar, which I believe both use the same keybed, and on the Prophet 10, you basically only have an on/off switch for aftertouch (technically a filter/LFO/both/off switch) and can’t set the level, so you really need to be careful, and this technique does actually help me a lot. Hmm, I wonder if it’s something that softens with age - would be something to look forward to.

Which curve is the most responsive?

According to German manual:

AT Response
You can use this parameter to select one of four key pressure curves for the keyboard. This allows you to adapt the response behavior of aftertouch to your playing style. Curves with higher numbers mean that less key pressure is required for modulation by aftertouch.

So with latest OS 1.1.2 you can choose AT Response in range 0..7 and 7 is the most responsive.
