Aftertouch • 3D MIDI Controller
By Kevin Nelson
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Description
Aftertouch unlocks the musical potential of 3D Touch, turning your iPhone into a velocity and pressure sensitive MIDI controller.
Aftertouch sends MIDI note and control data to other apps, or to external hardware via the Camera Connection Kit or via Bluetooth MIDI. It also includes a built-in synthesizer so you can start making music immediately.
GRID FEATURES
- Configurable grid dimensions and musical intervals between rows and columns
- Configurable note display format (MIDI note number, musical pitch, or a combination of both)
- Easy-access transposition buttons to move the grid by a semitone or an octave
MIDI FEATURES
- Selectable MIDI output: choose between virtual MIDI destinations (other apps), hardware USB MIDI connections (via the Camera Connection Kit), or Bluetooth MIDI devices
- Selectable MIDI Channel, or MPE (Multi-dimensional Polyphonic Expression)
- Configurable CC outputs for X, Y, and Z axis finger movement (with support for Pitch Bend in the X axis, and Channel or Polyphonic pressure in the Z axis)
OTHER FEATURES
- Built-in phase modulation synthesizer exhibits the default expression settings
- Velocity curve editor for fine-tuning the velocity- and pressure-sensitivity to your musical style
- Use the full screen to set the range of control parameters, or constrain them to only respond to movement within a single pad.
NOTE: Z-axis support is only available on devices with 3D Touch. Other devices still send X and Y axis data, and send a fixed note-on velocity value.

Until you spring for a LinnStrument 🙂
When Apple first announced 3D Touch, I immediately thought about the possible musical applications. This app goes beyond the monophonic aftertouch of the MIDI keyboard variety. I find it extremely inspiring and expressive, and it looks great! I care about MPE and controllers like LinnStrument and ROLI products a lot more now, but this app is already so fantastic and budget priced! As primarily a 🎹 player, it's also interesting and fun to approach scales in more of a 🎸 fashion, for a change.
The future of expression on a touch screen!!
This is a wonderfully expressive
and customizable midi app, bringing new fun ways to play synth apps. Especially when sending midi to MPE apps. If you have a device with 3D Touch and you use midi, buy this app now!

Cool MIDI Controller
Only thing that would make it better is a pressure sensitive quantized "roll" option, like up to 1/32.
