Touché is a USB / MIDI / CV expressive instrument designed to add expressiveness to synthesizers and plug-ins. Its highly sensitive and intuitive interface features a wooden skin which reacts to the smallest vibration and the lightest touch. It gives you dynamic control over your sound with simple and intuitive gestures.
Touché can be used with or without a computer, and works hand in hand with the included software Lié. Lié is a plug-in host with a complete mapping interface and a preset browser. Lié also lets you select which MIDI CC and CV voltages the Touché sends, and saves the information into one of Touché's 24 memory slots.
Touché and Lié come with a great selection of factory presets that work out of the box with the included UVI Workstation plug-in. Presets for a variety of other plug-ins (Native Instruments, Arturia, U-He….) and synthesizers (Moog, Dave Smith, Korg, Novation…) are also included.

Beyond limits
Without its companion software, Touché behaves as a standard MIDI controller, sending one CC for each shifting. It offers the ideal tactile input to modular DSP platforms like Max and PureData, and works with any mobile application allowing external MIDI control. You can even control sound and light simultaneously. Whether you’re building your dream synth or setting up your next artistic installation, playing with Touché will give you a unique sonic experience.
Designed for sound
Touché’s four shiftings are at once independent and simultaneous. Coupled with an accurate, steady control, it makes up the perfect tool for sound design. From video games to movies, making laser and engine sounds has never been funnier. Play your LFOs by hand, trigger gates while continuously controlling granular density... A true sonic playground.
