It is relatively easy for synth developers to add note per channel support... the other deeper stuff with smoothing, lag, expression curves and so on require someone in that company to be into MPE cause it takes times to implement and understand what is needed.Whywhy wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 3:16 am What I would like to see in every mpe synth is a rise and fall lag.( Bitwig, Axoloti and others have this kind of modules).the pressure can really act like an envelope.
The problem with Mpe this day is how Mpe controllers are dealing with data, some send a : return value to zero at note off for pressure, other just before note on, other send nothing. Mpe is a standard not so standard-:). Standard need times to be establish...
Mpe synth company should spend more time with their smoothing algorithm, it can make a big change when performing.
The later stuff is why Bitwig's Grid is my favorite MPE synth... it is easy to put separate rise and fall on say pressure data... I can control the rate of rise and fall via velocity... I can use Timbre to control some aspect of Pressure. I can do unusual stuff with MPE and other modulators to create unique behaviors.
Some non MPE synths also keep pitchbend at whatever value it was at note off until the next note which affects that next note. So some synths even using multiple instances you cannot do MPE pitchslides. There are many peculiar behaviors that become evident when trying to do MPE expression... like as you mention how pressure behaves in different synths at note off.
