You seriously hit the nail on the head. I DO have a ROLI and I like the idea of MPE compatibility, so I got bitwig, and you can program in some really cool stuff very easily with their per note automation. It's actually REALLY cool.annihilator.1 wrote:Hi
I don't use a ROLI or other MPE input device but,
I do often create instrument racks with instrument(s) per note, so can see the need for a MPE capable synth &/or lives current synths needing to add support, in my use case changing a preset & automation of chords would be far simpler.

Re: MPE support.
Re: MPE support.
I am new to this topic. A few years ago I started out experimenting with 'electronic music' and after some research settled on Ableton Live as my DAW. I have been learning slowly, and been very happy so far.
That is until now...my interest has changed/expanded somewhat, and thanks to some increase in budget, I have been able to dive into hardware synthesis. For next year, I am looking into the Linnstrument to control my synth, and that is how I came across MPE, and the lack of support in Ableton.
Apart from that, my old mac mini will be needing a replacement in the (near) future, and as I do not intend to buy any mac that is not user-upgradeable, and want to avoid windows as much as possible, Linux looks perfect. Now if only Ableton could match Bitwig on MPE and Linux support...

Re: MPE support.
i really, REALLY HOPE AND WISH, ableton will release an update for LiVE 10 that has MPE support.
My setup is based around the PUSH 2 and a roli seaboard. its a total disaster.
The current state of affairs has essentially ruined my workflow. Its a nightmare, period. Even beyond the cumbersome workarounds of setting up 16 MIDI tracks with a host, and having to arm them all and disarm them all individual, and beyond the fact that that only gets you one track of an MPE instrument, within a track that will definitely have many layers of different MPE tracks.
one is then in the possibly worse position where editing is nearly impossible, and most definitely not functional in session view.
Please ableton. please. Help us. Give us some indication if we should hold our breath or not.

Re: MPE support.
+1 as I’m waiting for my seaboard to arrive today.
The “16 tracks” workaround is not a real solution since it makes midi effects unusable. And automation editing a nightmare.

Re: MPE support.
this is getting weirder and weirder
http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2018/ ... e-of-midi/
the positive me says that this means they're waiting for the mpe or other midi standard to be formed before they decide to implement it.
The negative me says that they are being hypocrits and have to intention of implementing any of this ever
They should at least start by allowing certain messages to pass trough in the first place, without actively stripping them from the midi signals....

Re: MPE support.
Bitwig implements it really well. I've been using Ableton for around 10 years now so would prefer not to switch at this stage. Hopefully Ableton and NI joining MMA means that MPE will be in there in the future. It's a bit frustrating how silent Ableton is about things. All they need to say is that they're looking into it and working out how to implement, and a number of people will at least be slightly comforted.

Re: MPE support.
Have been in touch with the artist relation team, and they said the following
- Are aware of the need for mpe
- Are working on it
- Dont want to rush its implementation because when not done properly it will result in a poor user experienc
I'm also guessing they are taking it slow because the actual format seems to be still developing and might be consolidated into midi 3.0

My semi positive take - there could also be a push3 in the works with fully formed MPE capabilities... marketing wise, if seen from that angle it would also make sense to hold back releasing MPE for Live... so Ableton users are hesitant buying into MPE devices from other manufacturers for now.thomashalp wrote:the positive me says

They did tell me they were working on it..
So lets be patient a couple of more months and then get out our pitchforks again lol

In February, I'm going to get me a Seaboard 25 Rise for my Audio Modeling saxes and strings, so I guess I'll have to put Live 10 in the freezer and re-learn Logic…
Seriously, it's high time for Ableton to show some leadership here.
