MPE Insight

ABOUT THIS GAME

MPE Insight is a real-time performance environment built entirely around MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression).

Every gesture from your controller — pressure, pitch, slide, timbre — becomes a live visual signal as you play. Not a visualizer. A performance space where sound and image share the same expressive data stream.

KEY FEATURES

* Full per-note expression tracking: each finger acts as its own control layer, independently shaping visuals through pressure, pitch bend and timbre (CC74)

* 18 real-time Aura visual engines — particles, tunnel, kaleidoscope, contour, DNA, orrery, wave mesh and more — switchable instantly without breaking the performance

* CASCADE note-rain: a Synthesia-style rain of notes above the keyboard, driven live by your MPE — and by imported MIDI files with full transport (play, pause, seek, loop, speed). Five combinable render layers (Bars, Particles, Lightning, Matrix, Plasma), hand-split colouring, impact effects and bloom

* FORGE depth shader: turns any image or video into a 3D scene you fly through — AI depth, parallax, camera flight, feedback trails and bloom, all shaped live by your MPE gestures

* 10 modules running simultaneously and freely arrangeable — seven analysis modules (piano-roll Keyboard, PB/Mod expression graphs, Expression Overview, Expression Breakdown, Note Timeline, MIDI Stream Log and live Grand Staff notation) plus the three visual engines (Aura, CASCADE, FORGE)

* Modular, freely arrangeable workspace — resize and rearrange every module into your own layout, and open multiple instances of a module at once

* Dozens of built-in presets for instant results: 20+ Aura looks across all 18 styles, 17 CASCADE styles and 7 FORGE scenes — load one, then tweak and save your own

* Three-tier snapshot system: unlimited, reorderable Global Snapshot playlists (full app state, exportable/importable as one file), plus dedicated Aura and per-module snapshots

* MIDI Learn: assign a Note, CC (pedal), or Program Change to flip through your Global Snapshots hands-free during a live set

* Built-in Demo Mode with full MPE simulation: explore every module without a controller connected

* Full MPE recording with tempo-aware export to MIDI and CSV for DAW integration

* Live MIDI output: play visuals directly via mouse/touch, or forward incoming MIDI through to another device

* Per-channel filtering and MIDI Clock/BPM sync for tight integration with the rest of your setup

* Multiple MIDI devices active at once, auto-detected on connect
