patented hardware
a beautifully engineered hardware instrument, able to translate anything from the softest touch to the roughest rhythms, with pinpoint precision.

totally compatible
touché is compatible with virtually any synthesizer thanks to its built-in cv, midi and usb outputs. embedded memory even lets you control hardware synths without a computer connected.

the soft touch
touché can unlock the expressive capability of all your favorite third-party software instruments too. pre-made mappings for all best-selling vst instruments, as well as hardware instruments, are included.

sounds included
touché ships with uvi workstation software included, providing over 200 custom-designed instrument sounds pre-mapped to take full advantage of the expressive power of touché. you'll be making music right out of the box.

a unique playing experience
touché responds to both the softest and lightest of touches, and the most intense and powerful of gestures. slides and presses take sounds from dark growls to soaring, angelic heights.

rediscover your favorite hardware synths
touché includes more than 200 hardware synthesizer mapping presets - providing instant, ready-mapped control of the factory presets included with most popular synthesizers.

adjust playability
cylinder
the cylinder is the core of our technology. it is what makes our products have an enjoyable instrumental feeling when playing them, and its extreme reliance allows us to convert the smallest move, the slightest vibration into exploitable data.

slider
changing the slider position will adjust the lateral stiffness of the mechanism. placing the slider on the bottom position will decrease the resistance when moving the touch-plate sideways, leading to a springy behaviour and higher sensitivity. by placing the slider on the upper position, it will tighten the mechanism and thus increase control and precision.

encoder
you can adjust the sensibility of the top and bottom pressure sensors by turning the encoder. a high sensitivity is often suitable for percussive playing, while progressive and precise movements which demand more control may need a lower sensitivity.

no computer required
touché can operate completely standalone, controlling midi and cv hardware without a computer connected. pre-prepare your perfect control mappings and select and recall them live onstage - touché is the perfect companion for adding expression to your live rig.
