  • In this video I take a first look at the Expressive-E Touché Pedal. It is a "4D" touch sensitive pedal that you can hook up to pretty much whatever synthesizer you want, wether digital, analog or VST.

    I have the Touché and I can tell you it’s well worth it! Makes playing fantastically expressive!

      Jason Johns: Lucky you. I just ordered one - can't wait to get my sticky little fingers on it. ;-)

      Jason Johns: Yes, I was immediately hooked when I first saw the Expressive E videos several months ago. I've been patiently waiting for a Windows-compatible version of Lié. Now it's out, and my Touché is in the post! I can't wait to hook it up to my MatrixBrute. O joy of analog joys! I also have a Korg Triton classic and a laptop brimming with all kinds of software synths. What hardware/software synths do you use it with?

      Hi, I don't play the keyboard, but if I were to input midi notes or import midi files into my DAW, could I manipulate them with the Touché SE after? Thank you

    I could totally see this used by a session / live musician who owns a Prophet 06; the build quality looks amazing. A demo with the Moog would be awesome, btw.

      +HalutioN the m32 would be very interesting with multiple patch points! Sub37 as well but more ”classic” ofc and keyboard focused.

    • @richardloukes2934

    • @LateNightBeatsOfficial
      @LateNightBeatsOfficial 6 лет назад

      I'm really curious to hear it with the SUB37. It's that hyper-musical quality of the Moog filter that I believe will really work well with the Touche.

    Thanks to open a new door! But what about iOS music - is it possible to plug it in with an iPad and work with a Animoog or other soft? And it is a possible to play with a Mac and Abelton or even Roli soft -Equator? Cos I do have a sea bord blocks and working to make a sound shapes for a buto and other dance performance happenings--thanks for your work and hope to see your answer soon . Ro

  • @TenisDimants
    @TenisDimants 6 лет назад +2

    Would love to have one, i like it more not because it gives a human touch, but it gives some otherworldly experience in music, to me. I wonder how much you had to program it to get it working like from 4:00 of video. Did you plug and play, or it takes like 2h of programming to get there? My guess, it is a lot more different from Seaboard because you can play Seaboard with both hands.Here you need an extra hand to manipulate this. I do love the direction where all of these are going.

    • @BoBeats
      @BoBeats  6 лет назад +1

      +Tenis Dimants it took about... 10 minutes of thinking about what parameters I wanted to affect... + hooking up the actual cables for CV :-) dead simple. The idea is the hard part. And then I just messed around with it for 30-40 minutes. This was a week ago, so I have experimented more with it before finishing this early look.

    • @TenisDimants
      @TenisDimants 6 лет назад

      BoBeats thank you Bo. Will it keep the parameters from device to device if those support the parameters or i can use it only with one specific device at time?

    • @BoBeats
      @BoBeats  6 лет назад +1

      It has preset-slots so you can change. Don't remember how many

Anyway I am curious, Centre piece really? It seems gimmicky to me. I appreciate the level of control and programming is huge but still looks like a fad rather than performance tool? Are you still using happy with it?

  • @subconscious.com_usa6691

    Very impressive piece of kit, and would be great for overdubbing expression onto a midi track, Its a shame they had to go for such a high end design though, with the fancy materials, i think they might of out priced it a bit for the everyday musician, i think they should make a budget model with cheaper materials, and try and make it affordable as possible, i think they would definitely sell more units this way , and people could have the best of both worlds, :)

    • @BoBeats
      @BoBeats  6 лет назад

      I also think them being a relatively new company and small company factors into the price.
