Adding Aftertouch
Aftertouch is a performance feature that allows you to add modula-
tion to a sound by applying additional pressure to a key after the key is
already down. The greater the pressure applied, the more modulation
is applied. The Take 5 provides monophonic (or “channel”) aftertouch,
which means that applying pressure to any key within a chord will apply
modulation to all notes currently held.
The Mod Matrix lets you choose the amount of modulation applied
using aftertouch and also which parameters are modulated (oscillator
frequency, filter frequency, sand so on). You can set either a positive or
negative amount.
For example, if you select the filter cutoff as modulation destination
(
cutoff
), set a positive amount of pressure, then press a key harder, the
filter cutoff frequency will increase, making the filter open wider and the
sound become brighter.
Conversely, if you select the filter frequency as destination, set a
negative amount of pressure, then press a key harder, the filter cutoff
frequency will be lowered, making the filter close more and the sound
become more muted.
