No mention of MPE in the manual though, seems strange.
Bitwig, against the constitution.

Hello,
We need to update the manual - MPE wasn't implemented as a special mode, but it comes supported in its basic form thanks to the flexible Performance mode. It works just by assigning MIDI channels 1-16 to parts 1-16, each with the same Patch. It's indeed the multitimbral mode used as a multichannel monotimbral mode.

How it works: You select a Patch on any part, keep your finger pressed on it for 1 sec, then the EssenceFM will ask you if you want to setup the whole Performance in "MPE" mode for this patch.

On this video someone shows it working with an MPE controller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLYlvvJANmk

Limitation: no "Common Channel" support, but it may come in a firmware upgrade.
