MPE
MPE stands for Multidimensional polyphonic Expression.
This protocol is using 1 MIDI channel for common messages (like sending CC to control a synth
parameter) and multiple MIDI channels for voice messages (usually 1 channel per voice), enabling the
use of per voice pitch bend, aftertouch and other messages.
MPE compatible controllers are made by Roger Linn (the Linnstrument), Roli (Seaboard Block/Rise) and
others...
When set to MPE mode (see System settings page 3), the Micromonsta will need a controller set to the
following settings for best use:
Monotimbral mode Bitimbral Mode Pgm A Bitimbral Mode Pgm B
Common channel 1 1 16
Notes MIDI channels 2 to 16 2 to 8 9 to 15
X-Axis Your controller needs to match MicroMonsta 2’s pitch bend range setting
Y-Axis CC74 (hardwired to filter cutoff) or CC1 (modulation wheel)
Z-Axis Aftertouch
