Expressive E Touché

Expressive E's Touché is an innovative instrument that allows you to expand your existing hardware and software synthesizers with a whole host of unprecedented expressive possibilities. Unlike other multidimensional controllers, however, you don't have to learn a new instrument in order to achieve exciting results at an early stage - the introduction to Touché is intuitive and low-threshold.

Play with one hand on a keyboard as usual. With the other, you create your performance with percussive rhythms, swelling and decaying tones or slides and vibrati. The haptic feedback of the ingenious Touché mechanism gives you the direct physical gaming experience that is otherwise only known from acoustic instruments. The high-quality wooden skin of the controller reacts even to the slightest touch and recognizes four parameters simultaneously: pressure on the front, pressure on the back, as well as movements to the left and right. In order to optimally adapt the playing feel to your preferences, not only the sensitivity of the sensors can be infinitely adjusted, but also the mechanical resistance of the hardware.

Features:

• Multidimensional controller with real wood skin
• controls any hard-/software synthesizer
• 24 internally stored presets for standalone operation
• 4 ultrasensible, independent "shiftings" (movement dimensions), three of which can be used simultaneously
• 1 Clickable encoder: adjustment of pressure sensitivity & freezing of shifting parameters
• 2 buttons: Navigation through 24 internal setup memories for standalone operation
• 4 LEDs to indicate preset or pressure sensitivity
• Adjustment of the pressure sensitivity of the sensors via encoder
• Adjustment of the lateral resistance via mechanical slide control under the wooden skin
• Adaptation of the pressure resistance by exchanging the rubber cylinder under the wood skin
