is this what you want?
options for range are : +/-2 , 12, 24,36 48, 60,72,84, 96st
(and yes, its per track)
edit: heres a couple of ‘fun facts’, which Ive only just noticed…
- the hightlighted blue box actually shows the pitchbend range, so if its +/-12st , it shows an octave either side. ( I’d not noticed, since by default its +/-48, it just all looked blue to me in my window)
- if you alter the range, the values entered are relative to range if range was +/-2 st and you have it set at max (+2), then if you switch to +/-12st , then it will now be at +12st … what this shows us is Live is storing pitchbend value (ie. +8191) not semitone values, these are interpreted . this makes sense, but shows that we still need to becareful to correctly specify PB ranges on our controllers and sound sourcs.
edit: a couple more fun facts…
- capture midi works with mpe
- the expression editor has some neat featuers - eg. you can grab a notes expression, and scale it and offset it. so if you become a bit over excuberant, you can tone it down a bit
going back to an earlier point… (smoothing)
I suspect Live is doing a certain amount of smoothing of the input data (data is a bit smoother than expected) - though hard to say for sure…
MPEControl…M4L (only suite!?)
as stated previously, there are only about 11 MPE presets currently (Im sure this’ll grow) but, I notice every one of these uses MPEControl (so only Suite compatible?!)
this is not because its ‘needed’ - you can use (e.g.) wavetable mpe without it, works fine.
BUT i think the issue is, whilst you can scale the input, you have no ability to shape it, e.g. you cannot put a ‘log curve’ on it - so I think the preset designers wanted a bit more control, hence MPE Control.
makes me wonder, if its so vital, if Ableton might create a non m4l version of it, so that standard licenses have something- perhaps this is why we only have a few mpe presets, would make sense if there is an unfinished device that will be used for final version!
of course, all speculation. also many expressive controllers have ability to fine tune response curves, so not the ‘end of the world’
