Expressive E and the MPE Revolution: A Deep Dive into Polyphonic Expression

Expressive E, the French pioneers of musical expressivity, take center stage in this tutorial as they demystify MPE—MIDI Polyphonic Expression—for a new generation of synth enthusiasts. In this episode, film composer Josh Madoff walks us through the architectural leap from traditional MIDI to MPE, showing how instruments like Osmose and a host of compatible synths unlock nuanced, independent control over every note. The video isn’t just a technical explainer; it’s a hands-on demonstration of how MPE transforms performance workflows, sound design, and even the very feel of playing electronic instruments.

Intellijel Cascadia Meets MPE: Expressive Control in Modular Patching

Intellijel’s Cascadia isn’t just another desktop semi-modular—it’s a playground for expressive control, especially when paired with MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) controllers. In this official Intellijel walkthrough, Matt demonstrates how Cascadia’s MPE mode transforms the synth’s interaction, letting gestures from devices like Ableton Push 3, Linnstrument, and Osmose shape everything from filter cutoff to wave folding. The video is a practical guide to setting up MPE, translating nuanced MIDI gestures into control voltages, and patching up dynamic, morphing sounds. If you’re curious about how MPE can inject new life into your modular workflow, this is a must-watch.
