Why no support for poly pressure? (polyphonic aftertouch)

Not just for Massive X, but it seems like Native Instruments just ignores this part of the MIDI specification. Why? Especially now with an inexpensive and popular hardware synth (Hydrasynth) on the market? Pigments has it. What? Arturia can do it but you can't?

 

Yeah much as it's great that it at least puts mono aftertouch centre stage as a modulation source, despite this not being supported when used in NI's own Maschine (which is still a crazy anomaly), poly aftertouch, and even better MPE support, would really benefit this synth.

 

Yeah, I absolutely love the sound of Massive X, but it doesn’t play well with my Rise or my GEM S2.

When an open source instrument like Surge can do basic things that your commercial plugins can’t... That says something.

 

TBH Surge supported poly AT before it was open-sourced.

(But MPE support was added afterwards. It's still not complete because you cannot easily shape the response of various dimensions... but that will happen too, eventually.)

 

Curse you, Evil Dragon! I’LL SEE YOU IN HELLLLL! (By that I mean KVR lol)

 

Yep, that's pretty much spot on.

 

If you come out of hell back to NI you're again - Mario!
