Expressive E Touché – 4-Axis Multidimensional Synergy Controller
The Touché is a refined gesture-based expression interface that transforms physical touch into rich musical expression. Featuring a wooden touch surface floating above a tactile base, it senses pressure, release, and lateral movement—turning nuanced human gestures into modulation for synths, plugins, and modular gear.
Key Features
- Four independent axes (“shiftings”): Detects vertical pressure, release, and horizontal movements—combining up to three axes at once for complex control.
- Adjustable touch sensitivity: Customize pressure response and lateral resistance to your playing feel.
- Multi-format output: USB-MIDI, four CV/Gate outputs, and MIDI In/Out via TRS adapters enable integration with both modern and vintage gear.
- Extensive mappings: Includes Lié software with over 250 factory presets, hardware and soft-synth templates, and UVI Workstation library.
- Standalone recall: Stores up to 24 presets onboard for live use without a computer.
- Solid construction: Real wood surface, precision-engineered mechanics, and strong tactile durability.
Customer Benefits
