Does DP do MPE?

Post by waterstrum »

So sorry to post again after my ARA question.
Now I have a client with a Roli Seaboard who is requesting MPE.
Anybody know what that is?
Can DP do it?
Thanks!
All is well

Roli has a good walkthrough on setting up DP for MPE.

It will do, it would be cool if DP had a true Omni track but this works fine.

Thanks for the excellent info.
I gotta say, the folks here at Motunation are amazing.
Feels like a family.
I am so grateful!

Re: the specs on this project...
Three tunes where she plays the Roli and sings.
I'm thinking I should be able to record all of the data in DP using the solution Michael C recommended.

Thanks!

Yeah it takes maybe 30 seconds to set up an MPE like Roli using Create Tracks, maybe Track Assignments, then putting it all into a folder. Definitely native true Omni channel support would be great, if it included that in the MIDI editor! You can edit MPE tracks with using layers of MIDI tracks in the editor but of course a native Omni channel would be great.
