“Touché can behave as a standard MIDI controller. By default each of the 4 shiftings outputs a MIDI Control Change message ( CC14, CC15, CC16, CC17).” - https://www.expressivee.com/faq

Well, looking at some hints on the website, it looks like it only outputs MIDI, which is disappointing in my opinion, in term of precision.

For sure. I’m trying to work out if I can get really delicate impact data, combined with position (on it’s surface) and pressure. It looks possible from their videos, but I don’t feel like they are explaining much.

Surely stuff like this:

is utilising more than 4 streams of midi data? Do you know what instrument they are controlling there? Seems like some physical modeling or similar…

I believe it’s a UVI falcon patch within lié, their plugin.

Interesting… Are you a Falcon user? Does Lié utilise MPE?

I’m not a user. Supposedly lié runs UVI workstation. So I’d expect it would function like that.

I’m getting the impression that you get quite a bit more control with VST/AU than you might get with 4-channel MIDI or CV.

Anyone received theirs yet? First impressions? About to order one for CV generation.

1 month delay on my order already. I’ll take this as a reminder to write to them.

I haven’t received one yet, but I heard that there was some last-minute tweaks that caused a delay.

mine too, looking forward!

Same here! I almost gave up hope

Wow this Touché is really good. The sounds that it comes with are well done! I haven’t tried the CV outs yet. Just some jamming on softsynths, but the feel is nice. The same black rubber feel as the qunexus and the wood was a great choice. The software Líe is ok. It has a couple UI bugs, but is generally responsive. It came with a 50$ off coupon for UVI Falcon too which is nice.

good to hear. i was waiting patiently, but since they emailed they were shipping I’ve getting super antsy to get it integrated and start practicing…

really curious about how it’ll get along with my various set ups ergonomics as much as the control and interface/interaction.

So does anyone know how to change the default CCs doing MIDI over USB?

I haven’t tried it myself, but does this help?

As a french guy, i should add that “Prezet” means “Preset”.

Yeah I’ve watched all of the videos a few times. I made a video that shows when I select a hardware preset that I’ve made, Logic’s midi monitor shows that Touché still puts out the default CCs(16, 17, 18, 19).
