[sdiy] MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) specification

[Tom Wiltshire]

Some of you will have seen this already, but for those that haven’t, the MMA have agreed a spec for polyphonic expression:

I’ve read through it, and while I won’t claim to have understood every single bit first time, I got the distinct impression it’s a bit of a kludge - forcing extra features into a system that really wasn’t designed for them. The plan is to give each note it’s own MIDI channel, until you run out of channels, at which point you start having multiple notes on each channel.
