Push your favorite synths further

Press Touché to activate a filter on your hardware synth or gently bow Touché’s plate to add arpeggiator action to your favorite software synth. These are 2 examples of the many possibilities Touché can interact with your gear. This standalone MIDI controller simply translates your gestures into data (MIDI, CV or USB). Touché precisely allows you to modulate any sound, from the subtlest brush to the wildest strike.

sturdy & precise

Touché boasts a solid monoblock design with few replaceable moving parts, equipped to translate anything from the softest touch to the roughest rhythms, with pinpoint precision.

universally compatible

Touché is compatible with any software or hardware synthesizer thanks to its built-in CV, MIDI and USB outputs. Internal memory even lets you control hardware synths without a computer.

ready to use

Touché can control 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

The cylinder is the heart of the Touché – it controls exactly how your Touché reacts to pressure. The 'Shore 40 Pink Cylinder' is the classic all-rounder and is included with Touché. It's suited for a wide range of gestures, soft or hard, progressive or percussive. But for those interested in a softer or harder response, we have a range of other cylinders to try.
We are all different, and your Touché can be different too. You can fully perfect your Touché's response with adjustable controls, and you can even customise its appearance with our range of alternative touch plate finishes, available separately.
