This little baby blew my mind

Very expressive tool, very fun to play with, i can jam with it for hours and i allways find a use for it in every project im working on, it adds some really nice textures and much more when i need.

I also reccomend use it with noisy vst

Expressive E Touché

I enjoy the flexibility. However, very difficult to use as a plug-in in DAW. setup issues.

Almost like a new instrument.

Great way to explore new sounds. A lot of new patches and interaction with existing plugin.

Great and innovative

Touché really meet and exceeded my expectations. The level of articulations it brings to hardware synth (those funky basses and leads!) and to sampled instruments (i.e. Kontakt based brass and strings instruments) is just outstanding.

CV out works great with my external filter as well. And I will be able easily integrate it into any CV set-up if I will go Eurorack way someday.

I had some small difficulties in the beginning as its firmware has to be updated, Lié need to refresh plug-ins list in order to see them and manual didn't cover Presonus Studio One set-up which is my main DAW (besides C9 and LPX), but Expressive E support was responsive and sent me some helpful instructions with screenshots. So I have managed to do it quite easily.

I was looking for years for any external Pitch/Mod wheel combo to add my digital Hammond that is lacking of it and which I am using as a master keyboard. And I am so glad that I have found it finally.

Lié software with presets and UVI instrument is a nice bonus, but I am happy it can work without a computer (still needs to be USB-powered).

My opinion is that there are no more convenient, precise and pleasure way to control 3 parameters by just one hand (and I have even tried wii remote as midi controller in the past).
