Could this be interesting to us?

It’s based on Surge and runs on Pi4 and 5. We already have Surge XT, but if this is like a Surge-‘lite’ with MPE working out of the box, then why not?
Maybe it has been discussed here before.

Interesting project but I don’t think it offers anything we don’t already have in our SurgeXT integration.

Well, this project make me think that it’s a pity zynthian is not easily usable with MPE controllers, so i decided to fill the small gap and make it work.

Hi @zynthianers and MPE players!
I’m proud to announce we are adding support for MPE to the zynthian-UI so the engines that currently support MPE, like Surge-XT can work flawlessly without needing to tweak things or access the native GUI thru VNC.
Those using Vangelis can test with the (currently) only supported engine, Surge-XT:
Create a new chain with Surge-XT engine and select ALL MIDI channels
That’s all!
The trick is selecting ALL MIDI channels. When you select ALL MIDI channel…
The best,
