it should be whenever the note you drew in ends

so say you drew a 1/4 note on the first beat

the aftertouch would begin on the second beat because thats when the note ends

velocity sensitivity is the "pressin em harder crap", set the filter to like 60 or 70 percent and then instead of the note just being louder the filter will change with it

hmm thats a good question!

i think thats something you will have to automate yourself, unless your synth has some crazy modular grid where you can plug any parameter into anything else

maybe sytrus could do this? im not sure

damn i guess ill just have to do it with automation
and i still cant get this damn aftertouch to work im using albino
i looked up aftertouch in the manual this is what it says
Aftertouch(poly)
The Aftertouch value of each separate note is used
as modulation source. Your MIDI keyboard must
support this. If this doesn't work it is likely that your
keyboard has no polyphonic aftertouch (unipolar).

Aftertouch(mono)
As above, however only one aftertouch value is
used for the whole keyboard. All notes being
played on a specific channel share the same
monophonic aftertouch value. This is how most
keyboards work (unipolar).
heres the one i tried to make

you can't use aftertouch if you don't have something to touch (ie, a keyboard).
