Aftertouch Sensitivity

Well, we think we understand what the writer meant by this question, but who knows?

“What can I do to make my keyboard more or less sensitive to aftertouch? I don’t mean to change the response curve, just alter the physical sensitivity.”

Sometimes an answer seems so obvious to us we can’t be sure we really get the question (as a side note, it’s a good idea to be very specific with questions). Basically the simple solution to aftertouch sensitivity is the sensitivity parameter in the keyboard or the individual patch. Any program that responds to aftertouch should be able to have its sensitivity to it changed without affecting the response curve. On the off chance that the writer is asking about the “feel” of the keyboard itself we would say that this depends on the specific keyboard in question. In the best case scenarios making significant changes to the way a keyboard action feels is a daunting and probably expensive scenario. You can try different springs (if you can find something that works/fits) and shims in the assembly, but it’s really a pain and usually doesn’t make a big improvement. The easy answer is to simply buy and use a keyboard that feels good to you. There are many excellent keyboard controllers on the market. The right one can really improve your playing and you can program sensitivity and curves into many of them so you don’t have to do it on a patch by patch basic in the individual instruments.

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
