Arturia Plugins and MPE?

[Number6]

I've got a Seaboard M, also a Roland A300, both support aftertouch.

In Studio One I can get Roli Studio Player working without issue.
I have issues with MPE on Arturia plugins however.

Note Seaboard M controller and A300 has MPE enabled in devices, and I've proven it's working with other MPE plugins.

When I start say the Arturia Jupiter 8 plugin, I enable MPE in two different areas, firstly the dropdown where the title of the plugin is displayed (a Studio One feature) and secondly in the advanced section of the plugin itself (MPE slide).

BTW Options, Advanced, Automation, Reduction Level is set to 0%

To make things a bit clearer (maybe), I've done a (not very good) YouTube video.

I guess I'm missing something?

This is a rough outline of what might get you going.
I have the Arturia CS-80 V which is similar, by setting up a CC lane I can get the CS-80 to respond to drawn data

Try a pluck type sound rather than a configured arp patch and play some triads whilst Sliding one finger on the Roli whilst recording a Midi clip.
What is recorded in the CC lanes in the clip?

Is there an "Arp rate" CC lane being recorded with data?
If yes, then by messing with the Vst GUI Arp controls it should respond?
Mess with On/off, Sync buttons etc.,

Note.
I had set all the MPE settings as required. You may get timing conflicts if sliding more than one finger!!!
I did not use an MPE keyboard.

Best regards

I've tried basic notes with say a filter control, single finger, no dice. The cc lane procedure you mentioned is a good idea, I will try that (not got as far as recording). Thanks.

BTW midi monitor shows everything working as it should.

Edit,

I have revisited this from another direction and it is bit of a no go...
SO1 creates a Global Brightness lane, I had a look in the CS-80 midi settings panel and changed CC74 from "Global Brightness" to "Arp Speed"
still no luck. Wish I could help more, but without an MPE keyboard I feel I could be wasting yours and my time.

Hope you manage to get it sorted tho'

Best regards.

Thanks for your help.

I have no idea what happened, but today it worked!

With JUP-8, using preset "Bouncing Balls", pushing hard down on the keyboard (aftertouch) made a wider sound, by default.
I found in advanced -> keyboard -> aftertouch it was controlling "VCF Cutoff". MPE Slide works too.

Interesting to note, I can hear MPE when I press down hard, or slide, but I see nowhere in the plugin where faders or pots etc are moving within the plugin (visually), standalone or within Studio One.

Couldn't answer why there is no visual feedback on the Vst Gui. It might be due to MPE dynamically allocating Midi channels to each note played

Roli used to include a copy of Equator synth as part of the the Roli seaboard package, did they include it with your K/board ?
It gives visual feedback and is a fully fledged MPE synth made for Roli.

Anyway, good you are moving forward, Regards

There are no issues with the Roli plugins, I think visually this is how Arturia plugins are. If anybody can confirm that MPE works, but there is no visual feedback, that would be good. Thx.
