Interesting issue with MPE & Serum 2

DAW is Ableton 12.2.1

When using MPE for pitch bending in Serum 2, whatever the last note's pitch difference was will be the pitch difference on the next note played until another MPE automation is added to said note. Basically, when putting down the first note and bending it down a fewsemitones, the second note will start that same amount of semitones lower than it's supposed to. Not sure if there's a fix or if this is a known issue, or even only with Ableton, so I thought I'd talk about it here. This didn't happen in Serum 1 nor does it happen with any other MPE enabled devices. If anyone knows a fix for this please lmk! Thank you!

Something similar to me. when writing pitch automation on Ableton 12.2.1, the pitch won't act properly and won't follow exactly the automation I wrote. I had to turn off the MPE settings and it worked. Wondering why MPE is enable by default on Ableton

I've tested this here on macOS with Live 12.2.1 and haven't been able to repro. First off it's important to verify that MPE is enabled, both in the main menu in Serum 2 and also from the device title bar in Live. If they are both enabled and you're still getting issues, perhaps send us a demo Live session and we can see if anything looks incorrect: https://support.xferrecords.com/article/27-how-can-i-contact-you.
