What are the system requirements for MPEfy?

The product works for a modern mac computer running OSX 10.11 El Capitan and all later versions OR a modern windows computer running Windows 10.0 or later.

What are the DAW requirements to load MPEfy?

You need a DAW that supports MPE midi because otherwise MPEfy cannot receive the midi from you device. To make sure that your DAW supports MPE we have compiled a list of DAW’s that we know support MPE:

- Logic, MainStage, Garageband
- Reaper
- Cubase
- Tracktion Waveform
- Cakewalk

If your DAW isn’t listed it might also support MPE, but you will have to check this yourself. Remember that you can still load MPEfy as a standalone application if your DAW is not supported.

Which plug-ins can be loaded into MPEfy?

MPEfy loads Audio Unit (mac only) and VST2/VST3 synthesisers.
If you have any trouble with a specific plug-in, please let us know by sending an e-mail to info@jb-audio.com.

Can I use MPEfy without any installed audio plug-ins?

The main goal of MPEfy is to connect your MPE device to your audio plug-ins, that is why an installed third party plug-in is an essential component. You cannot use MPEFY without an MPE device and an audio plug-in.

How does MPEfy connect my MPE device to a plug-in?

An important aspect of MPE is that pitch bend can be controlled per note individually by gliding with your finger. A synthesiser that uses normal MIDI receives and handles one pitch wheel value. As a solution MPEfy creates one plug-in per note that you play. The number of plug-ins that are created can be specified from the MPEfy window.
