M P E S a m p l e r 5 6 4 / 8 6 4
Polyphonic sample recorder and player with MPE support, for both sample and spatial modulations at the tips of the fingers:
– mono wave files with position and loop points modulations
– 5 or 8 independant polyphony voices (one for each finger …)
– full Spat3D spatial mass section compatible with any spatial arrangement with up to 64 channels (works best with mesh networks)
Special features:
– per voice Pitch Bend messages control the X position (with scaling to adapt to different controllers’s ranges), CC74 the Y position, Channel Pressure the Z position
– Pressure Range, Curve and Inertia settings for Height control
– polyphonic modulation according to the center position in space (564 version)
– per voice XYZ modulations of the Pitch, the Filter frequency, the Level and the LFO rate + Loop points in the 864 version
– a separated channel or a selected finger can be selected for common modulations (564 version)
– 864 version: MPE keyboard visualization, MPE mode can be turned off to be used with standard keyboards
The playability of these plugins depends a lot on the MPE controller hardware and its settings, notably their ability to allow the fingers to a wide range of X and Y movements. Actually the best spatial control is obtained with the Sensel Morph thanks to its free continuous surface and high pressure sensitivity.
