Ok, I'm a newbie, struggling to clamber up the MPE learning curve. I recently got a Linnstrument, which is an MPE controller. I'm trying to configure Kontakt (and more specifically, the Evolution Rock Standard guitar instrument) to respond to pressure (for volume), x axis (left/right) movments (for pitch bend) and y axis (up/down, CC74) to some sort of tonal flavor control (e.g., amount of distortion, speed of flange, etc).
I'm running Studio One 6, Kontakt 7 (vst3), Windows 11, PreSonus Audiobox 1818VSL. AFAIK, all drivers & software up to date.
Any ideas/suggestions? I've enabled MPE in the instrument rack pulldown, but what are the next steps? I understand that I need multiple instances of the instrument for polyphony, but first I want to configure a single voice to respond appropriately to my gestures.
Help!
Update: New set of problems, as I clamber up the learning curve. I load the instrument into Kontakt 7 (mpe is disabled initially). Both my Linnstrument and my Komplete Kontrol keyboard can play notes in the instrument. I go up to the rack, choose "Enable MPE," and suddenly neither controller gets any sound out of the instrument. Disable MPE, sounds come back.
What gives? What am I doing wrong?
