Poly Aftertouch response please!

I use a G2 Engine with a GEM S3 as a controller, which has poly aftertouch. But the G2 only responds to channel aftertouch. Surely it would be simple to to make the G2 series respond to poly aftertouch from an external controller - it's a highly expressive function! The G2 is one of the most powerful synths out there but I'm surprised it can't handle poly a/t via MIDI in.

to our forum, Batfink.

I've never played anything with poly aftertouch. What style of music do you play, and do you have any music we can hear where this is used effectively?

Poly aftertouch is great. It is quite useful!

Funny you should mention it. My first MIDI keyboard was a Kurzweil MIDIBoard. Very nice action.

I still have it, but I don't use it any more because it started acting flakey. I don't have any synths that work with poly aftertouch anyway.

I have an Ensoniq ASR10 that has poly aftertouch and indeed on certain pad sounds it is indispensible(?) Confused

(nice i mean...)

I second the wish to at least implement the capture of poly aftertouch, but better yet make the G2X send it Shocked

I guess that's a nice wish...for a G2XX

Just want to bump this to the top. This is important.
