Touché

Overview

Touché is a four-axis expressive control surface that translates taps, presses, slides, and bows of its wooden touch plate into precise musical control. It lets performers shape several sound parameters simultaneously, bringing the immediacy and nuance of an acoustic gesture to hardware synthesizers, modular systems, and software instruments.

Touché can work with or without a computer. USB, MIDI, and four CV outputs support a wide range of instruments, while internal memory stores hardware mappings. The included Lié companion application hosts compatible plug-ins, manages sensitivity, and provides more than 250 sounds and mapping templates.
