Hi
With an Osmose, a Push3, an Erae2, Seaboard Rise etc or other MPE controller, is it possible to glide various notes simultaneously and independently?
Similarly to what Expressive E Software shows in their demos with Push 3 for instance?
I couldn’t figure out how to do that, or whether it’s actually possible.
It should be if MiniFreak V is MPE compatible right?
I’m on Ableton
Hi @super8boy,
I don’t have a MPE controller.
Minifreak V are the software version of the hardware Minifreak. Afaik none of them have MPE compatibility.
Other of Arturias software synths do have some MPE compatibility, when a user enable MPE mode.
Arturias software can be downloaded and tested in demo mode. I suggest you try that.
MiniFreak is not MPE compatible but lots of others in the V Collection are. Pressure glide works with the MPE-enabled Arturia synths just like it works on the internal Osmose patches.
Pigments is especially good for MPE implementation. Also, if you set pressure glide to a wide range (5 semitones or more) on the Osmose you can really have a blast with Vocoder.
There’s a list of all the MPE-capable V Collection synths here, though it’s from 2023. I assume Augmented Yangtze is MPE enabled but I don’t own it so I’m not sure.
Makes sense. Thank you.
Someone had wrongly listed minibrute V and Minifreak V in the vi-control thread on MPE synths.
Do you think it would be technically feasible for Arturia to make the hardware Minifreak MPE compatible via a firmware update in the same way they did with the original Polybrute?
The next likely move for a more affordable flagship second hardware synth would be to release a 12+ voice Polyfreak with fulltouch keyboard and onboard MPE.
If that were to happen, imagine the original Minifreak being made MPE compatible too (and the Minifreak v software while they’re at it…)
Thoughts?!
I for one would love it, LinnStrument is my main ax. Although I have an Osmose, keyboards are my second favorite controller.
