Hi!

I need some help getting started with MPE in Live 11. I have a Seaboard Rise 25 and Equator since a few years back, but since Live 9 and 10 did not support MPE I was mostly using them "stand alone" outside my DAW.

Now that Live 11 is here with MPE support I want to finally use my MPE setup inside my favourite DAW.

I find it a bit daunting to get started though. I was hoping I could just plug it in, load Equator to a MIDI track and play along, and any clips would have MPE envelopes. That is not happening. I seem to have only channel envelopes for pitch bend, channel pressure and Control 74. I can see that there is an MPE Configure button for the device. Equator works so well with the Seaboard outside the DAW. Do I need to re-create the mappings between the Seaboard touch dimensions and parameters in Equator within Live?

If someone is familiar with how this is supposed to work I would be very grateful for some tips or pointers.

Thanks,

Mattias

Have you turned MPE on in Ableton preferences for the relevant midi controller?

Thanks, Mark. That was it.

No problem.
