MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) is transforming the keyboard into a deeply expressive instrument. By giving each note its own independent pitch bend, timbre, and dynamic control, MPE bridges the gap between the nuance of acoustic instruments and the versatility of electronic sound design. In this presentation, Sam will not only discuss how MPE is shaping the future of keyboard artistry, but also bring it to life with a series of hands-on sound demos.
