I ran a sentiment analysis of Audiomodern Soundbox that analyzed the comments on the major composing, plugin, and gear related online forums and social media groups and indeed found that users have been reporting the MPE issues that you mentioned and that, based on the analysis, Audiomodern’s management has acknowledged that there are MPE problems with their plugin and that they are working on a fix, but it doesn’t appear that they’ve resolved the issues at this point. As the analysis was conducted on posts today, I would expect that this means Audiomodern has yet to have announce any kind of date or projection when these issues will be resolved.

I did a quick check into the MPE issue-related statements from Audiomodern and found that the issues include pitch bend malfunctions, problems with saving MPE and pitch settings on iOS, and difficulties with tunings in Ableton Live 12.  The specific MPE issues include pitch bend malfunctions. In earlier versions, there were bugs where bending one note could affect other notes, and the pitch bend was not working correctly. From AI results:

“iOS MPE Issues: Soundbox on iOS experienced problems with saving MPE and pitch settings.
Ableton Live 12 Compatibility: The new tunings feature in Live 12, which uses MPE pitchbends, was not compatible with Soundbox.
Updates and Fixes:
Audiomodern addressed some of these MPE issues in updates like version 1.0.1 and 1.0.2.
The update log mentions fixes for MPE implementation, including a bug where bending one pressed note could affect other notes.

Audiomodern’s Soundbox, while generally well-received, has experienced some issues related to MPE (Multi-Pitch Expression) implementation, particularly in versions 1.0.5 and earlier. These issues include pitch bend malfunctions, problems with saving MPE and pitch settings on iOS, and difficulties with tunings in Ableton Live 12.
Specific MPE Issues:
Pitch Bend Malfunctions: In earlier versions, there were bugs where bending one note could affect other notes, and the pitch bend was not working correctly.
iOS MPE Issues: Soundbox on iOS experienced problems with saving MPE and pitch settings.
Ableton Live 12 Compatibility: The new tunings feature in Live 12, which uses MPE pitchbends, was not compatible with Soundbox.
Updates and Fixes:
Audiomodern addressed some of these MPE issues in updates like version 1.0.1 and 1.0.2.
The update log mentions fixes for MPE implementation, including a bug where bending one pressed note could affect other notes. ”

It appears that the MPE issues have been resolved in update 1.06.@vst0ne can you share which version you are using and have had MPE issues with? Is it 1.06 or later or an earlier version?

Although I would strongly recommend trying those using MPE that are considering Soundbox to first test the free player and expansions before making any purchases from the developer.
