using midi monitor (os x), i can see that the machine is indeed receiving the aftertouch data. live is ignoring it or filtering it out, or does not yet have a mechanism for passing to m4l devices.

anyone else encountering this, or have thoughts on resolution? i know i can make a max patch that floats outside of live that intercepts and translates the aftertouch to cc, etc. and pass to live, but this is not very elegant.

“Live does not currently support polyphonic aftertouch (received by the polyin~ object).”

gosh, that sucks.

You’ll need to use a loopback MIDI device to get stuff back into Live if you desire so.

I’ve read somewhere that Java on Mac doesn’t support MIDI..

Let us know if it does not.

Could be a reason for upgrading..
