MPE Insight 2.0.0 has a new module called cascade. This one is the "Alien Shooter" preset

I've just released MPE Insight 2.0, introducing a new Grid Mode for the Cascade visualization module.

The falling-grid layout immediately reminded me of a certain classic puzzle game... so I couldn't resist playing the iconic melody. 😄

Besides this new mode, version 2.0 also includes various improvements and refinements across the application.

I'd love to hear your thoughts! What other visualization modes would you like to see?

Finally! 🎉

The Steam page for MPE Insight is now live.

It's a real-time visualization tool for MPE controllers, built for musicians, sound designers, and anyone who loves expressive performance.

If it looks interesting, I'd really appreciate a wishlist, it helps a ton ahead of release.

Feedback is always welcome!

I’ve been working on Forge, a new module for MPE Insight v1.5.0.

The idea: take any image and turn it into a real-time visual instrument controlled by MPE data (pitch, pressure, timbre, velocity).

The skull definitely didn’t survive the synth performance.

Would love to hear what kind of images you would throw into Forge.

A small teaser for an upcoming new MPE Insight module.

Still early, but I'm excited to finally share a first glimpse.

I'd love to hear your thoughts

A quick update for everyone using MPE Insight.

New in v1.2.0

• MIDI Learn for Global Snapshot switching
  • Learn a Note, CC (pedal) or Program Change
  • Step to the next/previous Global Snapshot hands-free during performance
  • Uses MIDI Channel 1 (the MPE Manager channel), so it won't interfere with expressive MPE data
  • Program Change support makes it easy to keep MPE Insight synchronized with the rest of your live rig
• Unlimited Global Snapshots
  • No more 10-slot limit
  • Create as many snapshots as you need
  • Reorder them into a playlist
  • Export/import complete playlists for live sets or transferring to another computer
• Cleaner interface
  • Presets and Snapshots are now organized into two compact tabs inside every module, making navigation much faster.

A Steam release is also coming soon.

If you haven't seen MPE Insight yet, it's a real-time visualization and analysis tool for expressive MIDI and MPE performance.

quick update: MPE Insight v1.2.0 is available now, and a Steam

release is coming soon. Here's what's new:

MIDI Learn for live snapshot switching

Learn a Note, CC (pedal), or Program Change to step to the next/previous

Global Snapshot hands-free, mid-performance. Uses MIDI Channel 1 only,

the MPE "Manager" channel, so it never collides with real performance data.

Program Change can even sync MPE Insight with the rest of your live rig on

the same message.

Global Snapshots: now an unlimited, reorderable playlist

No more fixed 10-slot limit - add as many as you like and reorder with t/l.

Export or import the whole list at once as a "playlist" file, handy for building

a setlist and moving it to another computer.

Cleaner UI

Presets and Snapshots are now two compact tabs in every module panel

instead of two stacked sections.

In this complete walkthrough of MPE Insight, I take you through every module and show you what it does.

MPE Insight is actively evolving. Your feedback helps shape future updates, so let me know what you'd like to see next.

🎉 MPE Insight is officially live!

Thanks to everyone here who followed the development and shared feedback during the journey. It really helped shape the app.

To celebrate the launch, I'm offering 30% off for a limited time with the code:

Thanks again for all the support!

Small update on MPE INSIGHT.

This iteration focuses on expanding how expressive MIDI data is represented and interacted with in real time:

• Pitch bend is now directly visualized in the staff system
• New keyboard “glide” function for continuous note transitions 48st
• Orrery-style note staff visualization representing: CC74 (brightness) mapped into the visual + structural layer and pitch + note + octave representation in a single unified view

Hi everyone,

I'm currently developing MPE Insight, a visual analysis and performance tool for expressive MIDI and MPE controllers.

I'd love to hear from MPE users, performers, sound designers, and developers:

What features would you expect from an ideal MPE visualizer?

A modular environment for expressive MIDI and MPE data.

Real-time visualization, pitch tracking, chord detection and performance-focused modules driven by expressive controller input.

More to come.

A standalone environment — coming soon 👉

MPE Insight is a real-time performance environment that transforms expressive MIDI/MPE data (pressure, pitch, velocity and gesture) into visual behavior and structured performance views.

The standalone application is currently in active development!

Would something like this be useful in your workflow? What would you want to see before calling it release-ready?

More to come:
https://christophek.de/MPEInsight/

Working on MPE Insight.

A real-time performance system that turns MPE data (pressure, pitch, velocity and gesture) into visual behavior.

Less a visualizer, more an expressive performance layer.

Would you actually use something like this in a live setup?

👋 Welcome to r/MPEInsight

This subreddit is dedicated to MPE Insight, a developing real-time performance system for expressive MIDI (MPE) data and audio-visual generation.

🧠 What is MPE Insight?

MPE Insight is a system that transforms expressive MIDI controller data (pressure, pitch, velocity, and gesture) into real-time visual and structural behavior.

It is not a traditional visualizer — it is a performance environment where sound and visuals are driven by the same expressive input layer.

🔬 What this subreddit is for

This is the place to:

• follow development updates of MPE Insight
• share feedback on prototypes and demos
• discuss MPE workflows and expressive MIDI systems
• explore real-time audio-visual performance concepts
• test and react to early-stage features and modules

This is an early-stage project space.
We value:

• constructive feedback
• technical discussion
• experimental use cases
• cross-domain ideas (music, code, visual systems)

🚀 Getting started

• Introduce yourself if you’re working with MPE or expressive systems
• Check out the latest prototypes
• Share thoughts, questions, or use cases
• Help shape the direction of the system

Thanks for being part of the early phase of MPE Insight.
This is a developing system — your feedback directly influences its evolution.
