  • 3.2 Firmware Tease (MPE record and playback)

    adding mpe to one track should be simple enough. but mapping to deluge which can send and receive on multiple channels is probably quite difficult. for instance, i don’t think ableton didn’t want to support mpe and they arguably have more resources than one Rohan to throw at the problem. And it took them the whole time mpe has existed. The issue is that if you already have a way of using multiple midi channels, in deluge to decide which track you are controlling, in ableton i figure it is a method of translating from all channels to another method of identifying the controller track relationship. Then you will have to rewrite the whole organization of device to track relationships and if you don’t want to break everything there is probably some backwards compatibility needed.
    also the amount of data in mpe is a significant difference and multiracking all that over midi din, well, i can imagine it might be frustrating.
    not to mention the other features might even be more difficult.

  • MPE Controller / Device Thread

    the linnstrument ’buttons’ or keys are quite a bit bigger than the deluge’s. Roger asserts they are the comfortable distance for the average hand. The grid can be modified for instance i am now using it with bass in upper left and the row offset being a flat fifth higher. This is much more visually accessible (especially since the addition of custom color per pad)
    i have a few mpe controllers and prefer playing notes on the Linnstrument to them all (morph, erae touch) if the morph did a grid i might prefer the size, one day i might make a custom layout that is a grid for the morph. and there are some things i am hoping the Erae touch will one day do. but for now it is a fantastic drum pad and cc controller. not very into playing notes on it (the drums on morph are about half as good, which is odd as the morph is fantastic for notes) there is a new update for Erae touch but i haven’t sat down to play with it. it might fix some of my personal issues with it. the feedback of a morph layout or Linnstrument grid is missing on Erae which is it’s strength but also keeps your eyes on it which is kinda weird i have a difficult time with the leds on it, maybe i will one day make a custom overlay for the Erae touch ;)
