Thank you for the reply, Paul.<br>
<br>
It would be truly wonderful with MPE/Linnstrument support in Ardour.<br>
But I fully understand your position, if there are no free devices
supporting it yet.<br>
<br>
A rather confusing mistyping snug into my post. The second sentence
on Zyn should read:<br>
"Sending only on one channel, and setting PWheelB.Rng to 2400 cents,
I *can* get the sliding to work, but only when playing with one
finger."<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>

<div>MPE is a relatively new way to use MIDI, and almost no

I have looked into what it would take to get Ardour to work well
it, and concluded that I would put if off for a while. I
actually Roger in Berlin last November and greatly enjoyed
interacting with the Linnstrument and talking to him.<br>

I recently bought a LinnStrument from Roger Linn Design: <a

href="http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/linnstrument.html"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/linnstrument.html">http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/linnstrument.html</a></a><br>
<br>
It is a great isomorphic midi-controller, and as such it is
immediately recognized on Linux.<br>
<br>
The distinguishing feature of the LinnStrument is that it
senses 3 degrees of freedom on each note: x-direction, y
direction and z-direction (pressure). The x-direction is
mapped to pitch-bend, and y-direction to CC74.<br>
A cool feature is the "slide", where the pitch-bend is used
to slide between all notes in a row.<br>
<br>
To allow individual pitch and CC74 values for each note, it
sends each note on a separate midi-channel ("MPE"): <a

<br>
Bitwig has added support for this, and there is 20 presets
in version 1.3.11, where this is used (tag: linnstrument).
The LinnStrument controller is not recognized automatically
on Linux in version 1.3.11, but it can be configured
manually, and then it works fine. Note that both midi-in and
midi-out has to be configured, if not there is no sound! It
should look like this: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
Now I would like to also use it with the free Linux synths.<br>
<br>
Here's what I have been able to make work this far.<br>
<br>
Synthv1:<br>
PME works reasonably well: I can play polyphonic in MPE
mode, but it tends to miss the "note off"s.<br>
I can get the slide to work, by setting<br>
<param index="36"
name="DEF1_PITCHBEND">2</param><br>
<param index="78"
name="DEF2_PITCHBEND">2</param><br>
is a preset.<br>
<br>
Zynaddsubfx:<br>
I can not get MPE to work.<br>
Sending only on one channel, and setting PWheelB.Rng to 2400
cents, I cant get the sliding to work, but only when playing
with one finger.<br>
If I enable MPE on the LinnStrument there is only an
occasional sound, when it happens to send on the channel,
that Zyn is listening on.<br>
<br>
I'll love to hear if other LinnStrument users have been able
to do more with any of the free synths on Linux.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
Thomas<br>
