EXPRESSIVE Touché

MIDI/USB controller and CV Gate Touché is a revolutionary system for those who play with synthesizers or VST, managing to combine traditional mechanisms and the most modern technology. It is a real musical instrument of expression, which allows you to control the sound of a synthesizer with the simple pressure of a hand. Its wooden surface has been designed to react to slight vibrations, to the minimum pressure of the fingers of one hand, allowing you to model sounds in a simple and immediate way as with an acoustic instrument.

Touché provides four independent expression sensors, with force feedback and sensitivity setting, and a behavior similar to the expression key of the Ondes Martenot. It is possible to apply a wide range of very intuitive gestures to obtain percussive rhythms, slides, vibrato, etc. Touché can be connected to any synthesizer thanks to its integrated CV, MIDI and USB connections.

Using the supplied Lié software, it is possible to configure which type of DC messages and which voltages Touché can send. The Lié software works in total integration with Touché: it is a plug-in host application available in both VST and AU formats, compatible with all the main Digital Audio Workstations.

Lié integrates advanced features such as speedmapping, sensitivity curve, CV tension editing, MIDI CC editing, internal memory management, preset recalling, tags, random, etc. Lié also integrates sounds and configurations for a wide range of synthesizers, as well as all the tools needed to create custom presets for hardware and software synths. All the supplied software presets have been created in partnership with UVI Falcon and are ready to be played inside the UVI Workstation, included in Lié. Touché and Lié together offer a fully integrated and innovative solution perfect for every keyboard player's setup.
