Map/convert modwheel to aftertouch/channel pressure midi data

Hi all!

I would like to know if somebody's here who knows how to map/convert the "Pitch Bend data" from a midi keyboard to "aftertouch" (channel pressure) midi data in Ableton live (10).

I found the Max4live device "Keyboard Control 2.3.0" (https://www.maxforlive.com/library/device.php?id=1946) and i can midimap "aftertouch" to my real Pitch Bend on my keyboard. So - yes, it works!

But when i looked at the data of my recorded midi clip the "aftertouch data" was recorded to the group "DSP Key" and the automation "After Touch". The data is not recorded as "real midi data" (=MIDI Ctrl + channel pressure).

Is there any chance to create a mapping/converting (Pitch Bend to channel pressure) and receive the aftertouch data as "real midi data" in Ableton/clip?
Do i really have to use external tools like "Bome's midi translator....?
I was hoping there is a "built in" way to do some real midi mapping/converting in Ableton live/max4live...

Thank you VERY MUCH.
