humm, just been messing around with the "pressure" (on the QuNeo) to see if i can convert it channel pressure...looks like i can but the implementation is not correct...
from my experience, aftertouch is only sent
after a note-on message (that's why it's called
aftertouch

) followed by new pressure on the depressed key/pad...
with the QuNeo, the moment the note is triggered the pressure value is also sent with a start value similar to that of the note velocity...furthermore, a new note is re-triggered when the pressure value drops below and then above zero...
obviously, "traditional" channel/poly pressure is independent of the note on and off message thus avoiding such re-triggering...
as a result of my testing (i hope i didn't miss some sort of setting), there doesn't seem to be a way to truly replicate channel/after-touch behaviour even with third-party software to convert the CC because i can't make the QuNeo's pressure data independent of the note on and off--at least on a per-key-based approach...
channel-aftertouch can still be achieved if a separate slider on the QuNeo is assigned and then converted by 3rd-party...however, this would not be feasible for polyphonic aftertouch because pressure data is for an individual note and not for the entire key range on the same midi channel....
so with the above experiments i do hope that aftertouch is not a physical limitation on this generation of th QuNeo hardware and that KMI will be able to implement this in a firmware update...
here's to crossing my fingers...
