Dear Shane

after creating a patch with 4 layers on polybox I observed that the aftertouch does not act on layers 2, 3 and 4 while all the other controlers work (pitch bend, modwheel).
The midi indicator light clearly shows that noon does not fit into layers 2 3 4 while it does fit into the first.
The 4 layers all have the same original Omnisphère patch .would I have forgotten to configure something?

see attached photo

Have you set PolyBox to Pool Size 4, MIDI channel 1?

BTW that MIDI layer #2 isn't connected to anything. You probably knew that.

Yes Polybox pool size is 4 midi channel 1 . 

yes midi filter is not used . I removed it . 

Everything works perfectly except aftertouch only on layer 1 .

When I move the pitch bend or modwheel the 4 the four midi indicator lights are activated (green dot) .

But when I used aftertouch only the first layer midi light become green

To be sure I created a new patch from the John template and 4 layers guru sampler (see photo ) . The result is the same . only the aftertouch works on the first layer . while everything else works on all 4
I also did a test on John's patch "SYNTH - POLYBOX 4X DREAM PAD" with the same result.
The same result  also with another keyboard control . Does it works on your side ?

dear Shane

I am happy to help you with my little means 😊 . thank you especially for helping us. I wanted to simulate a CS80 with the poly aftertouch . it will probably be very close to the real

As far as I understand, you will not be able to do that with a normal AT-(channel pressure)-keyboard.
Since PolyBox will simply copy the AT-messages received to all used MIDI-channels (as it currently does with pitch-bend), all four Guru Sampler - voices will react in the same way. So there will be no difference as if you played a polyphonic patch with standard AT which means f.e. the cutoff-filter will open on all 4 voices simultaneously and not on only one voice like on a CS80 (or with MPE-hardware). BTW I will open another thread regarding PolyBox and poly-pitch-bend with MPE-hardware.

Best, Rob

Hello Rob
thank you for this clarification. indeed after reflection I think you are right unfortunately 🙂 .
As I ordered an Osmose from Expressive E I hope to be able to do it from this keyboard.

Hi John

with great pleasure . Just wait to be delivered. I think that under the circumstances there will be a little delay in deliveries 😊

Hello Shane
I resume on this subject because now that I have the Osmose since some months .
I use the Osmose keyboard in MPE mode with Plasmonic Pigment and other Cherry Audio synths .
And I also use Poly Aftertouch mode with Omnisphere and GX-80 Cherry Audio.And it works perfectly.
I just noticed in Poly Aftertouch, when the unify layer is transposed by one or more semi tone (midi semi tone offset) the poly Aftertouch is no longer active.
However I put the midi monitor at the input of the layer to check and it receives the aftertouch well whatever the transposition but Omnisphere or GX-80 seem not to receive it.
As soon as you reset the midday semi tone offset to 0, it works again.
Would you have a solution?

@dominique

Interesting observation--thanks for reporting this! I'm sure it's a bug.

Please try using an instance of MIDI Filter to transpose the notes (instead of the layer's MIDI controls), and let me know if your aftertouch messages work as expected. I don't have a poly-aftertouch capable MIDI controller to test with.

Thank you Shane

I tried your solution with the Unify midi filter and also the Reaper midi filter at the track input.

But in both cases the Poly Aftertouch stops working after transposition.

let me know if you need more checks

@dominique

I believe I have found the problems in the code, and I have a fix. It will appear in the next release.

If you would like to help test this, please email UnifySupport@PlugInGuru.com, mention this conversation, and ask to be added to the beta-testers group.

dear Shane

Following your recommendation John included me in the list of beta testers.

but regarding the polyphonic aftertouch bug that we talked about I haven't received anything yet.

Is it still too early to receive it?
