This is MPE compatibility and i think that now that surge (kinda) runs on zynthian we could try and make this work. I have a seaboard and a lightpad from roli and i do use them in the desktop with surge.
I connect things with carla in the desktop, would it be possible to either:
a) create a mpe entry in the midi channel selection menu, and “classify” devices as mpe and make exclusive connections.
b) detect midi devices that are connected and be able to select them as input (kinda like the carla interface)
I really would like to be able to use my mpe instruments with zynthian and this would bring the proyect to many places as a standalone MPE compatible unit, maybe gather more interest and contributors
