Hi, sad to say that's often what happens.
As for whether they are just midis depends on the keyboard.
Usually, they take advantage of some of the onboard arranger features if the
keyboard has them, not always accessible via midi without some very tricky
conversions.
Again, depends on the brand and type of keyboard of course.
Cheers!

Aren't most keyboards' demos just midi files?
What I mean is: you want an aftertouch event, but you can't play it live
from the keyboard. But if the synth supports aftertouch you could put it
in manually. I believe this is what you were saying at the bottom of your
message? If keyboards are messing with their synths internally to make
them do things that midi controllers/events couldn't trigger, well then I
wouldn't know what to think.

Hi, that's probably tricky combinations of pitch bend and quick note
changes.
Also, many of these keyboards can do things in their demos that you can't
actualy do in reality.
Finally, the keyboard itself may be able to support it but just not in
the midi controller, i.e, not be able to transmit the effect.
Can you use after touch when actualy playing the keyboard?
Cheers!

It doesn't? Wow. I hear it using it all the time in its demos.

HI, ok, according to the spec list the keyboard below does NOT support
after touch.
Hth.
Cheers!

As I said in my previous message I use the event list. Yes I know
aftertouch has been around for quite awhile, but I haven't played it
live yet. My keyboard is a psrs-700 from yamaha. I was a little
unclear on supporting aftertouch right out of the box. It probably
supports aftertouch, in fact I know it does, but I can't figure out
how to use it.

Hi, um, perhaps some reading on midi might be handy here.
Firstly after touch has been around for quite some time.
Secondly a thousand dollars isn't a lot for a keyboard, newest model
or not.
3rdly, while I'm an absolute newbie with qws I expect that to alter
an event you'll want to use the event list though as I say I'm used
to doing this on the fly on a keyboard, windows sequencing is a new
thing to me, music and midi however, are most definitely not,
<smile>.
Note: what keyboard do you have.
Hth.
Cheers!

Aftertouch should help volumewise, but my keyboard doesn't support
it, and I spent a thousand bucks on the newest model. Not that I
really was expecting it, because I never saw it yet. So that leads
me to the conclusion that not many have it right out of the box.
Expression pedals work but they edit the whole channel. The note
editor would probably save time if I could figure out how to use the
thing. I can insert notes but I can only figure out how to get the
pitch, not the duration, the start time, or volume, nothing like
that. For now I use the event list.

Sorry, I meant dynamic changes while the note is pressed. I guess I
wasn't very clear. Or, if you can do it from the note editor, I
have no idea how.
