MPE Control

MPE Control is a Max for Live MIDI effect, which we will talk about in the next chapter! For now, let’s just see what this device does.

MPE Control will enable you to shape the incoming MPE modulation signals (Pressure, Slide, etc.). This can provide some really fun, additional controlled movement to the modulation.

This is a super fun device to use when you are recording with an MPE hardware controller; however, you can still try it out even if you do not own one.

Follow these steps:

1. In the Chapter 12 project, navigate to the Wavetable track, where we have already set up and applied some MPE.
2. Load MPE Control from the browser. You can find it under the MIDI Effects tab.
3. Once it’s on the track, we are going to go ahead and choose the MPE modulation source (Pressure, Slide, or Pitch) (Figure 12.16).
