I have Erae Touch working (mostly) in Studio One 6.5.1. It should be noted that there is one issue that remains unresolved (very likely from the Studio One side of the problem as there are no issues in Bitwig).

I am on a PC.

One must configure the Erae Touch to "Receive from" both "Erae Touch" and "MIDIIN2 (Erae Touch) in Studio One's External Device window as a "New Keyboard". One or the other alone will not suffice. It does not seem necessary to configure the Erae Touch for "Send to".

The caveats are two:

1) Studio One is only 4/5 compliant with the MPE protocol as "Lift" is ignored in all cases. For whatever reason, Presonus has elected to ignore this dimension of MPE.

2) As of right now, patches with a longer release envelope segment will revert back to the original pitch struck. As an example (read this chronologically, if you will) you play (for this example, think single notes, not chords or intervals): "(Strike) C (Glide to) G (Lift)", expecting to hear: "C, G...", but what you hear is "C, G, C..." as Studio One attempts to return your performance to the original note struck.

Oddly, this same behavior was actually fixed for the Roli keyboards after many months (thanks to Lukas for his bringing the matter up to Presonus). Hopefully, this bug is addressed by Presonus fully and across all manufacturers' MPE devices at some point.

FWIW, no, today's update (6.5.2.97444) did not fix the issue I described with Erae Touch, though I initially had hopes when I read the release notes. Notes still attempt to revert to the initial pitch struck.
