Expressive E Touché SE 5-stars Reviews

Interesting, but could be so much more

The included sounds are nothing to write home about. The hardware is amazing tho, and you can control synths like Omnisphere with it. Worth it for cheap MPE.

Changed the way I play things

For string expressions its a must have!

just amazing

Its really good ,the idea and the feeling you get with this things is something i was searching for, i have some complains though

with Lie ,is heavy and overload my cpu when i close the plugin, ableton gives me crush message

Excellent item

This unit goes very well with Korg Kronos plugged into the USB port. Works flawlessly expanding beyond the capabilities of the Kronos

Love it

Very easy to setup and tweak. The bundled VST (Lie) can really bring your old software synths to life.

Working well with Massive / Serum / Spire.

Very impressive. Also - the replacement "springs" are surprisingly cheap (approx £10 for two). Which is reassuring.

Effortless expression

I got the Touche for controlling orchestral and ethnic instruments, specifically for mapping dynamics, vibrato and expression to the different axes of the Touche. I'm very pleased with the results: smooth expression, much more detailed than what a slider can get you! The best feature is that you can use two CC's at once (example: vibrato and expression) and have them flawlessly combined into each other. You can even set up your own custom CC curves (like exponential or linear or even draw one).

It might take a few days to get used to controlling the Touche on one hand, while playing your keyboard with the other - but it's worth the practice! An extra good feature is that you can control the sensitivity of the Touche (how responsive it is to your movements). It is a physical instrument after all.

A small con is that it takes about 10 seconds to save any new CC controls you assign and that it took me about an hour to find the right way to load Touche only as a midi instrument (without using Lie). But once you learn that, it's easy.

I highly recommend the Touche for orchestral composers who want to avoid using 2 or 3 sliders at once. I would recommend going with the original Touche and not the SE if you want even more CC control.

Well built, feels sturdy - and you can replace & customise parts.

Worth till last buck

This is the most amazing Midi Controller I have ever had. The APP, Lié, needs some improvements, but the manufacturer listens and new versions will come out.

I use a MIDI routing application that also can translate and filter Midi CC. I can combine routing of inputs and outputs coming from USB with merges, splitters, filters, translators and monitors. That is why I did not need the higher end device Touché and got the SE version. But still I can control the hardware synthesisers with the help of the mentioned application.

I could not find any cons yet. I recommend this device.

Best Controller

Very Best controller for modulation and automation. It is a tool with you can do really special somethings!!

Excellent addon for a keyboard

A completely new level of expression. Mindblowing.

The best MIDI controller I had

TOUCHÉ SE is a very sensitive instrument for controlling 4 CCs with one hand. It is a must have for those who use virtual instrument which require to control several CCs. I had my doubts, but now I am considering buying another one.

Personally, I am using to play a sample-modelled instruments, and it is a joyful experience. The mod-wheel is vastly inferior compared to this bad boy.

Expressive

I?m using this with a midi piano and it is awesome. It has opened up expressive opportunities I thought were not possible with this keyboard. It?s amazing with stringed instruments and old synths. Great fun beatuflly made.
