Omg i scored a 49key today and i tried to blindly cowboy the settings and it wasn't working .. but i think i had remote ON in the live settings?? whatever it was i followed this exactly and now it's working and being able to record and then edit MPE is INCREDIBLE. I'm locking myself in the studio with this thing right now. Goodbye and thankyou so much

[@HelicopterRidesForCommunists]

Good looking out mate. Thanks.

[@mredrollo]

[@Geepstar]

Hey i cant figure out which channels to rout it to? if its only connected via midi cable which channel to i select in the Input

[@laurentvoillemin9712]

bonjour puis je utiliser l hyfrasynth explorer en meme temps que mon artuiria et il n aura pas de probleme technique ^^,, merci Volonté

[@StephanieSante]

Followed exactly but my Live 11 crashes every time external instrument track set to MPE. All settings on my Hydrasynth Explorer are setup as described here. I am on Mac OS Catalina.

Best sound modeler I ever bought, It would have completely killed the market if it had a option get to usable FM tones like the Digitone does with ease, it would be like having a Hertz Donut, a Digitone and Virtual Analog all in one. I hope you guys explore that idea because FM synthesis is on fire right now but getting to usable tones with FM is even hotter.

[@AshunSoundMachines]

It can actually do FM that is much deeper than the Digitone. We have a flexible routing in the mutators that allow you to create all kinds of FM routings.

[@siliconbrush]

@@AshunSoundMachines It would be great if the hardware could hint that it is in-tune or approaching a tuned state visually. Led real estate would be nice but Perhaps the big jog wheel can turn a solid color if we are tuned and blink wildly when we are in complete dissonance while scanning tones in a FM setup. Just a suggestion.

I don’t fully grasp what MPE has to offer more than poly aftertouch with the HS since it doesn’t have pitch bend per key or X dimension. Could you please explain ?

[@pontram]

You have a point. The ribbon strip should get the channel of the last pressed or highest note...MPE is a workaround, and I think that Ableton filtered out Poly aftertouch until v11 (though it was announced for v10). You can also make Poly aftertouch possible with several instances of a vst that can only process mono aftertouch. And with MPE, I think Hydra can at least process poly controller information as provided by seaboard (not sure about that).

[@fumarolas]

Great! Can you still have access to any other cc parameters within a clip from the External Instrument device, and draw/automate them?

[@thiagophilip4144]

i realize it is quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to stream new movies online ?

[@arthurgraham5793]

@Thiago Philip I watch on flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

[@amoszahir7346]

@Arthur Graham Yup, been watching on flixzone for months myself :)

[@thiagophilip4144]

@Arthur Graham thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it!

[@arthurgraham5793]

@Thiago Philip glad I could help :)

[@siliconbrush]

This is Hydrasynth: 2:52

[@kevinreynoldsdetroit]

This is great! Only problem I'm having is when I switch the external instrument to MPE, Ableton 11.1.6 crashes :(

[@Geepstar]

Version is 11.2.7 at the moment and no problems here. So you can upgrade and see if it remains?
