MPE Compatibility

One of the special features of the Joué is its compatibility with MPE.
MPE stands for Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression, and offers amazing
possibilities that standard MIDI controllers and instruments do not have.

With MPE, each note's messages are sent on a unique MIDI channel, rotating
through a defined contiguous block of channels called Per-Note channels. The
per-note messages are for instance Note On, Note Off, Channel Pressure (for
finger pressure), Pitch Bend (for X-axis movement) or any CC number. The CC74
is usually used for Y-axis movement. All other messages (like Program Change,
CC7/volume, CC64/Sustain, etc.) apply to all voices and can be sent over a
separate "Common" channel, though some MPE synths do not implement a
Common channel, instead receiving these Common messages redundantly over
the Per-Note channels.
