Hey,
So I’ve been using the Synth as a full on MIDI controller within Ableton 12 for other VST’s. It’s been great, really performative, mapping After Touch MIDI CC controls to filters and such.
I do have one hurdle, it seems like I’m only able to retrieve a global After Touch signal in Ableton, and not a Polyphonic one (for every note). I played around with input ports settings but no luck so far.
Did anyone have luck with this?
Cheers,
Maxime
Welcome to Backstage @maxime.quoilin! Great to have you here 
Good question! I personally haven’t tried this. I don’t use Ableton, but will check with a Midi Monitor in Cubase on my end later today. I also have the Hydrasynth that responds to Poly AT, so I’ll try with that as well.
Will report back later today
So I can confirm that Poly AT is sent out through MIDI. Hopefully someone who is using Ableton Live can chime in.
Hey Dann,
So it seems like anytime I press multiple key, the AT (Press here) value changes to the AT value of the latest pressed key.
Wish I could help, but no Ableton here 
I just did a bit of reading and it appears that Ableton only support MPE and not true Poly AT. So it might be the case that Ableton is expecting MPE messages but is getting Poly AT message instead.
@maxime.quoilin checking in to see if you’ve been able to advance on this issue.
I’ll jump in here Current design send both Channel Pressure (aka global After Touch) and Aftertouch (aka Polyphonic Aftertouch for every note) together, and there is no setting to exclude one of them. Probably Ableton assigns whichever it registers first. We’ll consider improving this in future updates to acomodate programs like Ableton which depend on MIDI learn functionality to set things up.
I’m about to buy a polyend synth and I’ll be depending on the possibility of Ableton to grab only the polyphonic aftertouch so I’d like very much the polyend synth to have a setting preventing sending global aftertouch too 
In the meantime maybe we can solve this issue in Ableton by filtering the Global Aftertouch using a Maxforlive device like this one for instance, please tell if it works for you Maxime (maybe I’m a bit late with my answer )
Hi @here , this feature is available in the latest Synth 1.3.0 Beta #2 release 
Oh I didn’t notice ! Very responsive firmware updates thank you !
That fixed it for me! Just gotta make sure you’re on the right MIDI channel both in the Synths section and in your DAW/Kontakt etc..
New MIDI CC mapping function is clutch as well.
There’s so many ways to use this as a performative tool with keyboards splits that I think keeping on improving the MIDI out function is key. Impressed with firmware response as well.
@here Aaaand official release just came out also: Announcing Synth Firmware 1.3 and the DWA synth engine
