Can't get Z3TA to respond to aftertouch [SOLVED]

I 've tried rightclicking on the parameter in question (e g cut off freq for a filter). The aftertouch work on my Novation Impulse and other controllers do work with Sonar and Z3TA.

Thank you kindly and Merry Christmas b rock!
I have followed most of the steps (and do apply anormous amount of pressure ) but how do I check aftertouch in the template? Project saved as .cwp-file and not as .cwt? Aftertouch does work with Novation e g with my hardware synth.

Thnx again b rock. Yes "key aftertouch" checked allright. I'll try with another synth then Dim Pro and check if that one responds to aftertiuch.

Got it! "Key aftertouch" checked wasn't enough. Also "channel aftertouch" needed to be checked.

It's great that you have this sorted out.  As you've found, 'aftertouch' usually implies channel aftertouch.  Polyphonic / key aftertouch is very powerful, but rarely implemented.  You'll find it on high-end classic hardware synths, and some of the newer pad triggers or KMI MIDI controllers.
 

The left one has its red light on all the time. Shouldn't it just blink while the midi-in signal is there?

Yes.  It's MIDI Input (left) and Output (right) activity.  You could have a MIDI feedback loop (output somehow looping back to input).  Or it could be as simple as a fast MIDI clock input, or an 'active sensing' message.
 
Some hardware keyboards (like Rolands) send a data byte every 300 milliseconds.  It's supposed to prevent stuck notes if a MIDI cable gets disconnected.  It's rarely used, adds some unnecessary overhead, and usually can't be defeated at the keyboard.  There are ways to filter it out, but most people just ignore it.
 
The only problem that I've ever had with active sensing is that it freaks out my FCB-1010 pedalboard.  The fix is to power-on the pedalboard with the MIDI In cable disconnected, then plug the cable back in.

Doesn't really feel that it harms the system or do you think I should get to the bottom with this?

 
Ignore it, unless you see a problem surface later on.  There's a lot going on with that Clavinola.  It's a full MIDI workstation in its own right.  What you're seeing in the MIDI In/Out Activity may be annoying, but I believe it is harmless.
 

• If it were a MIDI loop, you'd be seeing some odd behavior ('frozen' MIDI meters in the Track View; 'echoing' notes from Local On at the Yamaha keyboard).
• It is possible that some knob, slider, or control on the Yamaha is intermittent, or has some dust in it.  Sometimes, controls like that will transmit continuously.  I doubt this is it, because that control would always be the first message 'learned' in your MIDI Learn procedure (detailed above).
• If it's 'active' sensing' messages [FE], there's not much you can do about it easily.
• If it's MIDI Clock pulse [F8], then you can turn off Internal tempo transmission at the Clavinola (usually, the default setting).  That is, unless you're using it as your 'master' MIDI Clock source for Sonar.  I stumbled across an interesting note in the Clavinola manual: The MIDI clock resolution is an astounding 1920 pulses every quarter note.

 
That is extremely fine resolution (if it's not a typo).  That would certainly explain the 'steady red light'.  If I had to guess, I'd say that it's your internal MIDI clock on the Clavinola that's the culprit here.  Again, probably harmless, but it could be contributing to some unnecessary MIDI data overhead, if you're not using it for anything.

I can't get poly aftertouch to work with Z3TA. I have a CME XKey37 and poly aftertouch works on all of my apps that support it-but does not seem to work with Z3TA. The Z3TA recognizes the channel aftertouch though. 
 
Does anyone know for sure that the Z3TA supports poly aftertouch? I see "PolyAft" in the Matrix Control list but it does not respond to poly aftertouch.
 
I will be very disappointed if I spent $20 for an app that does not do what it is supposed to do from a company that does not provide it's customers any technical support or way of contacting them.
 
Thanks for any help

Thank you for your quick response.
 
Yes. I have connected PolyAft to Oscillators/All Ocillators/Pitch. I figure that pitch is the easiest to detect changes in modulation. I can definately hear the difference when I use, ChanAft or Mod wheel, but not when using PolyAft. 
 
I'm just using Z3TA+, all by itself with no other apps running, and the XKey37 connected as usual to the USB port on my iPadMini2.
 
I went to the Problem Report Form but the Product drop-down would not open to show the list of products and I cannot use the form unless a product is selected. 
 
Hopefully there is a solution to getting poly aftertouch to work with Z3TA+.
