Aftertouch is a very cool way to introduce FX on a note you are already holding. I have a great patch on an old Roland JX-8P called "Soundtrack" where the aftertouch adjusts the analog filter and resonance that is just exquisite.
Aftertouch is so very important when you want to play with more expression.. the list is very small
-Aftertouch
-expression pedals
-half damper pedal
(offcourse you can use your switch pedals or even keyboard legato detection, for switching articulatiuons and stuff, but those are just swithces and not 0..127 values)
and this list allows you to add the expressivness of your sound, witouth taking your hands from the keyboards...
all those other controlleres (mod wheel pitch wheel/stick, knobs, buttons, sliders, drawbars, ribbon etc etc) requiere the use of a free hand..
