    Haha. Remember folks that the cheapest way to get the mpe experience without a device is just to get the Blue Mangoo Velocity Keyboard. Obviously, an external controller is always better for these things than a touchscreen, but VK is definitely a great touchscreen mpe solution.

    Velocity KB has nice velocity sensing, but does t send glide and slide messages? It doesn’t seem to for me.

    It does! U need to set up pitch bend, mpe settings and cc74 settings in the settings section of the app. They all work fine.

  • Only problem with cc74 is that if you have a lot of rows, the vertical space to control this is limited, but I guess linnstrument has the same problem.

    another option might be to use brams mpe mononoke pads with fundamental, which i hope will be released soon.

    That might work well, actually

    @ohwell What is it like to use with regular midi like sequencers and arpeggiators etc, any good? Or is it better to just play on its own without external input? That sounds disappointing they have tailored it to the morph rather than considering the range of mpe devices ppl might use. Have you given them any feedback on that?

    AFAIK, midi sequencers are basically useless with fundamental ATM. (That's part of what I meant by it's way less midi friendly than Mononoke.) Yes, I've given them feedback. The dev is all about the stochastic modulators, and making apps that users control through those. Putting MPE at all seems like a response to Hainbach's desire to use it with a morph — rather than a feature set the dev was designing for in the first place. Their response to my messages made it seem unlikely that they will provide more extensive support for things like MPE mod curves (which roli hardware badly needs), and for vanilla single channel midi note control. But maybe if more people ask...

    That said, now that I think of it, I wouldn't be surprised if there were neat (and easy) ways on iOS of using things like Mozaic to convert midi data into the range of MPE messages Fundamental responds to. On desktop, I haven't spent time setting up custom midi processing to do that because I'm happy to control fundamental through the GUI + daw automation/modulation (Bitwig). Fundamental makes working without midi controllers/sequencers fun...

  • Well, they definitely should be listening to this kind of thing, because if they release it and say it is mpe but it doesn't work properly with anything except the morph, people are - very rightly - going to be pissed. The lack of midi support sounds disturbing too, unless Sinan is planning on porting those to iOS at the same time as Fundamental comes out. Thnx for the update. @ohwell

  • Oh it does work with mpe. It’s just a barebones implementation that benefits from custom processing between Eg roli controllers and the app. They aren’t lying, just not doing it with flying colors..

  • Sure, of course I'm not saying they are lying. I'm just saying that mpe users are really sick and tired of sub-optimal implentations of mpe.

  • The UI looks fun, reminds me of old electronics lab equipment.
    But who would want that sound? I expected more than that...
    This would be a rather easy job to do in Drambo or miRack.

    Anyway, one question to the mpe guys:
    What MPE controller do you use, and can you re-map pitch bend to send CC instead?

  • I use Roli Seaboard blocks, they can't do that to my knowledge but I could be wrong.

    the Linnstrument has 8 cc faders for each of the splits. So you can have 16 cc faders if you don’t want to send notes.

    The Lin’s software is also open source so you can also mess with the code.

    Would this help?
    From Svein Johansen on the roli support forum:

    ...
    Actually you can map all 5 values to a HW synth's CC values.
    Im using Bitwig, and I simply setup 3 tracks.
    1 track for Seaboard midi with Midi CC device (more about that below)
    1 track for HW instrument = my Korg Minilogue
    1 track for audio in from Korg Minilogue

    The HW instrument is just to have a separate track I can send midi data to and it forwards it to the Korg Minilogue as a hardware instrument. It can all be done with 1 track, first Midi CC object, then HW instrument to send the mapped data to the HW synth and an input track for the analogue sound from the synth.

    The trick is the Midi CC track.
    I setup the slide midi cc 74 from dashboard to midi CC 43 on my HW instrument (according to manual its cutoff). The way I did that is I added a Midi CC oscilator and set that to 74 as input, and the first knob midi CC 43 (cutoff on my hw instrument) and mapped them with the oscilating range.
    Then I choose another oscilator input called Expressions in bitwig, and theres the last 4 missing controls from the seaboard, VEL, TIMB, REL, PRESS. I basically mapped PRESS to 3x CC's on my Korg minilogue, VCO1,2,Noise LEVEL CC 39,40,33. This controlls the presure.

    So now I have pressure control, and slide control on my HW synth.

    The bad thing is when playing chords on my Korg Minilogue as it has 4 voices, only the last touch on the seaboard controls the pressure or slide values. So playing in pure polyphonic mode with individual CC data for each voice is not possible simply because the HW synth doesnt support this ! As long as I am well aware of this its not a problem.

    By adding more mono synths, one for each channel would solve the individual parameters to be modulated from the seaboard. A synth that can load patches from the DAW is necessary in that case as you would have to load the same sound between the synths to get true polyphonic voices. Then you could map each midi channel from Seaboard lets say 8 midi channels to 8x mono synths, same patch loaded on all of them and get true analogue expressions.
    ...

    Sounds like you can map slides to CC using the roli dashboard?
    If not, I suppose it could be done with Mozaic.

    I had a quick go of the demo on desktop yesterday, using velocity keyboard to drive it and my first thought was that I’d be inspired to try and make something equally mad in something modular, either way it would be well spent time...

    You just spoke out my first thought about the app when I've heard the sounds 😉

  • From Hainbach’s latest vid - his submission to Apple is approved, the iOS app drops 29th August.

    ...juuuust in time for my next paycheck and the Morph I ordered to both come in. 🤣

  • @celtic_elk : nice! I’ll get the app immediately, but I have to rest my purse a month or two before I can spring for the Morph. Be interested to hear what you think of them in combo when you’ve had a bit of a play.

  • So tomorrow is the great day?

  • Hainbach said on his twitter feed a couple of days ago "You never know with all the Apple bureaucracy attached, so soonish"

  • Looking forward to Fundamental, great to have access to the authentic sound of these vintage machines.
    Although one could think "what can I do with this?" - but we have many tools and ways to manipulate and get creative with it.

  • It has been approved, so is definitely imminent ✌️

    Yay - can't wait, even though I just got the desktop version with the Sensel discount...👍

  • I think that I need a @Gavinski tutorial👍 After 5 minutes of playing with it at least I was able to make it emit a sound😂

    Your screenshot looks like you can sequence it?!? Play with AUMs onscreen midi keyboard?

    No it was wondering just about it.

    I was only able to make it sounds pressing the trigger button.

  • Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in

  • Totally random just to give you an idea.

  • I'm so torn on this one. The price seems mostly reasonable and I love pretty much all of Hainbach's creative work.

    It's just that I have so many freakin' apps now. Most off of them are excellent in their own ways. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't think I could run out of creative audio play time if I never got another app for the rest of my life.

    And yet...

    Is this one at least fun in a way that no other app is?
