What is MPE?

[Craig Reeves]

Ableton 11's beta is out and it said something about MPE support. It seems like all the other major DAWS (Ableton, Cubase, Logic Pro X and Studio One) all have this except Cakewalk. But what exactly is it? All I'm finding on it is something about the Roli Seaboard.

EDIT: Years ago I used a Roli Seaboard with Cakewalk and didn't remember having issues.

The specification is designed for MIDI controllers that allow the performer to vary the pitch and timbre of individual notes while playing polyphonically.

The MIDI Association have released a 'MIDI Polyphonic Expression' overview and PDF document.
