Expressive E Touche SE USB Expression Controller

Expressive controller for software instruments.

Initially it may be hard to understand exactly what Touch is, but thats because there isnt anything quite like it. Touch is an ultra-expressive controller that reacts to the smallest pressure, the slightest vibration you apply to it, allowing you to feel and experience music with the sensitivity of touch. Press and slide your hand on the surface to modify the sound of your synths. Soft or hard gestures will inuence the intensity of the sound. Percussive or progressive gestures will inuence the rhythm of the sound. Its all powered by the brains of Li, the companion software that comes along with Touch. Li hosts your virtual synthesizer plug-ins, letting you play with included sounds and presets, and also features an intuitive mapping interface for setting up what parameters are modified with each gesture. The main difference between Touch SE and its bigger brother is that Touch SE was designed to be a streamlined version for use with your virtual synthesizers, without MIDI and CV compatibility.

There are four shiftings which you can assign one or multiple parameters of your synth to, including top, bottom, left and right, but the real power is the blend between these modes for a world of sound that would be virtually impossible without an extra set of hands or an extensive amount of automation. With the help of Li, you can create your own custom mappings for unique sound designing options. The best way to understand whats great about Touch is to watch and listen what its capable of.
