Hello, hopefully I'm not polluting the wrong forum with inappropriate questions...
Just trying to program some patches on some softsynth VSTs, and I'm bothered by something that has always stumped me: what the heck is aftertouch? I know I've looked it up a few times, but I'm still pretty clueless so it must not have penetrated my skull.
I've never managed to find out what it does in any way. This may be because I'm not actually playing a keyboard where I'd use a particular control that it affects or some such. I notice it all over the place though: on the oscillators and noise generators and everything.
Anyway want to use nice simple words and gimme a breakdown? Cheers in advance
