Using Aftertouch to Modify the Sound
Aftertouch is a function that lets you modify the sound by applying additional pressure to the key
after playing a note.
On the A-49, applying further pressure to a key after playing a note will not aect the sound,
turning on the [ASSIGN] button and moving your hand above the D-BEAM controller will cause
Aftertouch messages to be transmitted.
As an alternative to using the D-BEAM controller, you can also directly enter a specic aftertouch
value by using the keyboard.
For details on this value, refer to p. 8.
Value 0–127
0–9
* If you specify an aftertouch value other than 0, the change will continue to be applied to the
sound. Return the value to 0 if you don’t need this.
MEMO
• The A-49 is only able to transmit the variety of aftertouch called “channel pressure”; it cannot
transmit “polyphonic key pressure” messages.
• You can assign aftertouch to the [C1] [C2] knobs or to the EXPRESSION jack. For details, refer to
“Assigning Functions to the Knobs, Buttons, and Jacks” (p. 37).
Halting Stuck Notes (PANIC)
If you experience “stuck notes” on the connected MIDI sound module, or if there’s something else
wrong with the sound, you can transmit reset messages (the PANIC function) to x the problem.
This function will transmit the reset messages All Sounds O, All Notes O, and Reset All
Controllers for all channels.
