I have a Prophet 6 desktop and can confirm that the poly pitchbend is working correctly with beta firmware v1.6.6.
I haven't checked the other reported issues but I'm enjoying using the Prophet 6 in MPE mode with my Linnstrument.
I have both the Linnstrument and Prophet 6 connected via USB to my MioXL MIDI interface.

I came across two other plugins which support MPE:
Hexeract: https://www.hexeractsynth.com/
And Woodsynth, also available for IOS: http://www.woodmansimmaculatemaplesyrupstudio.be/

Hexeract looks promisisng, they had huge problems some years ago to get bugs out, but at least one user at KVR is raving about it now... For me the Grid covers what that synth can do...
The Woodsynth is a bit too standard for my taste...

I've updated the Recommended Sounds page to include these.

If it goes on like this, there will be a time to better list popular synths or companies that still don’t support MPE as a big warning on the internet walls...; - )

let's go for it!!

i already mention Rob Papen Blade 2 is a fully capable MPE synth, and because of it's character and workflow, MPE makes sounddesign in Blade 2, fun and great patches from scratch for MPE.

EDIT: it seems that MPE synths are coming steadily, Zebra3 will be MPE, i believe.

and plugins made in JUCE, MPE isn't that difficult.

but sometimes still strange ommissions of synths, who scream for MPE implementation...

o well, already enough MPE soft-synths, to work with. (and plasmonic, will be the next one, on my list, at some point..)

you posted this while i was writing this, yes i had forgotten to include this link, with rob you can talk to directly..., he gave me this as an example.
the MPE bank, only uses slide, strangely enough...

but i patch from scratch so.... great instrument, i repeat.

and the X Y pad of roli, of course can also be done with sensel morph. is a real X Y pad, i mean, it reflects the position of the "point" on the screen, unlike other X Y pads.

thanks for sharing this.

I've added Blade 2 to the Recommended Sounds page.

I've corrected the Sequential entry in the MPE listing of the Recommended Sounds page to point to the above page on Sequential's site.

Cherry Audios Modular is listed, but the DCO-106 supports MPE as well...

Micromonsta 2 (M2) by Audiothingies just released a firmware update with MPE support.
https://www.audiothingies.com/product/micromonsta2/

I remember a discussion here about Micromonsta 1's MPE implementation being "non standard"? I think it was something about Midi channels? Anybody here with "inside knowledge" as to how M2 has implemented it? I am really interested in this synth (it could be my first hardware synth) but I won't purchase if MPE is not done "right".

To answer my own question, from the manual:

So everything seems alright with the channels. Now I wonder what it means that y-axis (cc74 is hardwired to filter cut-off): can we change that routing to other destinations?
