Only way access the aftertouch is use a controller that transmits AT.
These things are all great. But they only do what they do, not necessarily what we wish they would do. smile

The Dumb----- at Yamaha marketing make sure they don't interfere with Genos sales....Actually they are missing the boat because putting aftertouch on a SX-900 would cost very little and make a lot of us happy. It would not cut into sales for Genos, IMHO.

Hi Don,
hadn’t bothered checking to see if it receives aftertouch, so if it does, a controller that sends, would give one aftertouch? It’s not actually dependant on a particular type of voice?
Might check into that, maybe I can find a 49 note or (preferably smaller ) controller that does it. Would just want it for r/h melody.

Hi Danny,
have you thought about connecting one of your keyboards that has aftertouch to your sx900? Ie you use the keyboard as a controller for the sx900, similar to the way I use my p121 to play my sx ie
I play the p121, I don’t use any of its sounds, I just use its keys to play the p121. Since mine is an L shape configuration, I use sx900 registrations and I use a pedal to walk thru the registrations for a song.
It would simply be a case of setting up one of your keyboards as a simple controller, no splits , no nothing , just a single voice over the whole keyboard, the sx900 does the split, supplies the style, the voices. The only reason to touch it is to pick your next song based registration. The registrations can be programmed to walk thru from reg1 to 2 to 4 back to 3 whatever you want. Each time you tap pedal, it goes to the Next preprogrammed registration in that bank. Basically 1 song per bank.

Just a thought.

Sorry that's the way I feel.

Anyone have these styles/registrations. I love the way they use the registrations - too cool.

Are you sure it would cost little?
The same decision has been made with MODX versus Montage, and other mid-range synths like FA-06/7 and Krome have no aftertouch either.

The midi parameter is always there, i.e. connecting a controller with aftertouch works.

Never use after touch. I get plenty of expression with initial touch, and the keys are just my backup band anyway, so I’m very happy without it.

There are many reasons for loving or not loving a keyboard, it is personal preference.

I do understand you wanting the aftertouch feature, so the Sx900 is not for you. Personal preference. I feel the Sx900 is the best keyboard, in that price range, it can do so much – it fills my every need.

Personal preference, John C

Hi Zuki
I’ve bought a few of her things.

My favourite is the Charmaine fit has a wonderful bank of registrations,
the Mantovani Strings are superb.
