The first thing to know is that none of the bundled PreSonus virtual instruments are, at the time of writing, MPE compatible. If you’re using software then you won’t be able to pull off any of that MPE expressive performance until you’ve set it up correctly. If you’re connecting to a hardware MPE‑compatible synthesizer then you are all set. That’s it, your MPE controller is ready to go, and will work as a regular MIDI controller as well. You also have some control over the pitch‑bend range. Ticking this will grey out the MIDI channel selector, because MPE needs all the MIDI channels to do its magical per‑note‑expression thing. When you edit the device the important setting is the Enable MPE tickbox at the bottom (see Screen 1, above). If your specific controller isn’t listed, then you can create a ‘New Keyboard’ and the setup is exactly the same. In the Options menu under External Devices you add a new keyboard, and for the Seaboard Block I could simply select it from the list. I’m using a ROLI Seaboard Block, the simplest of the ROLI controllers, but the setup should be similar for any MPE controller.

Unfortunately I only got the solution moments before my deadline, but now that I’ve had a bit more time to work with it I can take you through how to set it up so you don’t fall into the same trap that I did.
It’s something I struggled with a bit when I was writing the review because there was a key piece of information missing.

There’s very little in the Studio One 5 manual about how you get it to work. To take advantage of this expressive way of playing you need an MPE hardware controller like the ROLI Seaboard, Sensel Morph or Linnstrument, and an MPE‑compatible synthesizer or virtual instrument. In other words, you can play a chord and use pitch‑bend or aftertouch on each note independently within that chord. MPE is where individual notes can have their own expression data, allowing you to use pressure and other playing techniques to affect notes separately. In our first look at version 5 of Studio One I’m going to spend some time looking at using MIDI Polyphonic Expression, or MPE. We offer guidance on working with MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) in v5 of Studio One. I hope this tips helped you solve your problems in Studio One.Screen 1: Setting up the ROLI Seaboard Block as an MPE controller.

Using Windows Audio Driver & Turning Exclusive Mode Off
Dig in! Changing Options in Studio One to Fix Your Sound I’ve made videos to explain and show you how you to fix your sound problems in Studio One. If you’re wondering the problem lies in the ASIO4all driver that you are using and also the ‘system exclusive’ option in Studio One. And if I can say one thing about that, its irritating. Studio One kind of gobbled up the sound driver for itself leaving other apps soundless. Guess what, no sound when I tried playing the audio loops outside of Studio One. So I ditched the tutorials and thought I’d just audition some audio loops to use as my base idea or motif. Suddenly, there was no sound on my browser.
I launched Studio One the other day, loaded up a Grand Piano and was ready to look at some online tutorials to start practicing. All ready to produce on Studio One then suddenly you found out when Studio One is on, you have no sound in other programs? Well, here’s a fix
