Hello
Love the Stage EX I've had for about a month.

I use Aftertouch. A lot.

Wondering if there is a way on the Stage EX to adjust this?
Some keyboards have a menu item for this ... basically the sensitivity

Maybe too much to hope for ... and certainly is okay as is. Just ...would be nice if tweakable

Hi Fred, no it is not, though it's not clear from your post whether you are talking about NS2EX or NSEX. You do have total control over Morph Range, though...

Is yours a 73, 76 or 88 model? Some folks seem to feel that on the SW action the AT is too easy to achieve max and on HA action to hard to achieve max. I haven't heard comment on HP NS2EX-76)

I have the NS2EX-76, and I think it takes too much AT pressure to kick in the vibrato, which is my main use for it. It would be great to see a system setting added to adjust the sensitivity.

Nord aftertouch for vigorous finger strength

I have a few follow-up notes.

First, seems like maybe the previous owner never, or hardly ever used the Aftertouch. Have noticed that the AT was stiff at first, but is gradually "warming up" or "softening up" a little.

To sure if that is normal for Fatar key beds?

Maybe my arms and wrists are developing new muscles and endurance.

Second, I HAVE NOTICED that AT is easier in the middle of the keyboard, then gets harder out towards the top or bottom notes. That also might be a simple factor of wear, not sure.

One thing I do wish the Nord KB Zones had was independent AT. I know Polyphonic AT is too much to ask for, but what would be amazingly helpful is, when I have AT on two zones, and I am playing left and right hand, that one AT pressure did not affect the program of the other.

Anyway, small gripes I know .... just little niggling things. I may just have to add a 2nd 88 note controller for what I want to do. Always set out to see how much "everything" I can handle on one keyboard.

The Nord comes damn close to being the single one keyboard I can take to just about any gig.
