Any resources for making MPE devices ?

Post by chapelier fou » Tue Mar 30, 2021 7:07 am

I've got plenty of ideas, but I'd need some guidance.
Is there any place to learn good habits when making MPE enabled devices ?

I've got many questions, like
- On a MPE enabled instrument, like Wavetable, is it possible to play more than one of the same note simultaneously ? My tests seem to show that it can't.
- If you run MPE data into a non MPE midi effect, what happens ? My tests seem to show that every note is treated as channel 1.

Your conclusions are correct.

I've read this already. Great article, but very poor concerning MPE.
