1 MPE envelopes
MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) updates the standard MIDI protocol that we use to send notes and control messages between music software and hardware, offering more detailed and expressive control, via dedicated hardware controllers. If you don’t have one, good news is that in Live 11 it’s possible to automate MPE inside any MIDI clip that contains notes. Load an instrument that supports it, such as Wavetable, then go to the clip editor, click the Note Expression tab, and click the four buttons at the bottom left, to show lanes for Slide, Pressure, Velocity, and Release Velocity. Now you can drag the handles below each note up/down to add some MPE expression. What effect they’ll have depends on how you’ve assigned MPE inside the instrument.
