Studio One and MPE – Hosts & Applications (Sequencers, DAWs, Audio Editors, etc.) Forum

I have been quite annoyed (and, yes, I do realize that to a certain extent I’m venting) by Studio One’s claim to implement MPE while conveniently leaving out parts of the spec. At this point, I think it’s fair to say that Studio is, at best, about 3/5 compliant as the fifth dimension, lift, has never been included in their implementation and glide (as verified to a techie) is crippled with a bug that reverts the pitch patches with long releases times back to the original pitch struck (i.e., glide from a Gb up to, say, a Db, lift your finger, and the pitch will immediately revert back to a Gb during the release segment of the patch.) Again, according to the techies, there is no plan extant to fix this bug (or the lift omission.)

And yet, Presonus quite deceptively claims to be compliant with MPE. The last time I checked, to claim compliance meant to embrace the full spec, not only those parts that were easily implemented or considered as more “popular.” I’m left wondering in what other situations, Studio One’s “implementation of MPE” breaks down. I’m also getting a bit tired wasting time trying to remedy these issues.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to hold Presonus’ feet to the fire (at least regarding the deceptiveness of their MPE claims and their lack of integrity in advertising)?
