Superhuman performances by hacking MPE, and much more... June 2026 Book update!

Dear WaveShapers,

If you've been here for any amount of time, you know I'm a fan of expressive controllers/synths like the Continuum, Osmose, LinnStrument, and others. Their interfaces don't just allow for additional expression, but also open up a totally new way to interact with synths - the potential for an entirely new musical language that can inspire music-making in ways keybeds with simple "on/off" keys don't.

Alongside these expressive instruments, MPE was developed as a MIDI standard to address the limitations of regular MIDI and enable polyphonic expression. For quite some time, MPE was a feature rarely implemented in synths, but that's no longer the case - most modern DAWs and synths now support MPE.

Now that it's here, MPE going mainstream opens up quite an interesting opportunity - way beyond just being a behind-the-scenes technology for expressive instruments: What if we used the MPE format to take music beyond what's possible for a human performer?

Check out, for example, this track as a great use of programmed/sequenced targeted MPE bends. Of course, pitch isn't the only parameter you can modulate on a per-note basis with MPE.

All of this is covered in the new section you'll find starting on Page 483.

Besides that, here's what else is new in this update (skip to the updates by searching for the string JUN2026):

  • I've updated the "how to fake polyphonic pressure" tip to include new insights from this month's video, which spent more time exploring this topic (Page 83)

  • Added a new delay trick inspired by Ableton's recent update in 12.4 (Page 129)

  • Added a new tool for hand tracking to the section about making music in thin air, which also happens to unlock UFO synthesis! (Page 503)

  • Added two new FM tips - modulating the operator ratio (Page 194)

That's it for now. Until next time, as usual, but never taken for granted, thanks for being here!

All my best,

Ziv (loopop)
