when I turn on the MPE option in midi preference in Ableton the seaboard block slide doesn't work?

works when MPE option is off?

pressure works on both options, pitch doesn't work at all.

seaboard block working in the roli dashboard.

I have latest roli dashboard and latest roli connect.
seabord block works in my case, the slide. all works, no problems, as in Bitwig.. or any MPE Daw, i have...

did you set the instrument to MPE?

thanks for your reply,

are you on a mac or PC?

I'm on a PC

Yes, so the seaboard block doesn't work (except pressure) when i activate the MPE box in the midi preferences in Ableton.

It does work for me in bitwig and standalone.
i am on PC (windows 10...), you must also activate the instrument, set it to MPE, that was what i meant. some MPE synths are set automatically to... MPE, but most by hand.

perhaps that is the problem, because it does not seem a problem to be related to the Roli Seabord, it works in Bitwig Studio as you say (well MPE you must set, in Bitwig, for the instrument..).

and in my experience; all works well with Roli Seabord Block(s even...) and Live 11 Suite.

you already set the Seabord Block to MPE in midi preferences. so it must be working....

so, set the the instrument you use to MPE.

if you have Suite, there is a M4L device called; MPE Control, that is used to make curves and smoothing (pretty handy!), you can also see it as kind of monitor..

EDIT: it seems that device is 'standard', if the manual is correct. for Live 11.
