MIDI controllers

A MIDI controller is one of the best ways to unlock the power of your hardware and software instruments. Some controllers follow the style of old analogue hardware like vintage synths and drum machines. Other MIDI controllers and control surfaces opt for a more customisable, versatile approach which can suit any workflow. Some even blur the boundaries of keyboards, pads and expressive physical controls. Whichever you prefer, a good MIDI controller gives you hands-on feel and tactile response. There are lots of different approaches, from hybrid drum machines to mix controllers. Even the most affordable pad controllers now tend to include pressure-sensitive MPC-style pads, faders, rotary controls and easy mapping options to work with a range of software and hardware. Thanks to the universally adopted MIDI standard, all MIDI controllers should be compatible with all MIDI hardware, computer software and mobile devices, with a choice of USB or DIN connection.

Embodme Erae II Polyphonic MIDI Controller & Looper (B-STOCK)
Cat: 1096303 Rel: 01 Jan 90
 
B-STOCK: Box opened, product in perfect working order
Notes: ***B-STOCK: Box opened, product in perfect working order***


Unlock Limitless Creativity.

Experience the power and versatility of the ultimate MIDI Controller & Looper. Take control of your music like never before.

Redefined sensitivity.

ERAE II reacts from the lightest touch to the fastest strokes, pushing the dynamics to the extreme possible range of musical articulation. Embedding 16.000 force sensors, ERAE II benefits from our patented Force Multi-Touch technology, which offers ultra-responsiveness, down to a very low threshold force.

The most playable surface yet.

ERAE II benefits from 3 years of R&D with our patented Force Multi-Touch technology sensing just a few grams of pressure on a very large playable surface.

A sub-millimetre XY precision both in relative and absolute mode with enhanced sensor linearity for ultra-stable and continuous finger slides.

Complete musical articulation.

Add polyphonic portamentos, slides and after-touch to your musical creative process.

Control multiple sound parameters with a single touch and explore new possibilities on your favourite synthesizers.

Expressive looping.

Record segments of music and play them back with ERAE II's 8-track looper. You can define duration, quantization and BPM, overwrite and overdub expressive features.

Every gesture recorded on the fly is replayed visually, creating a show for the eyes.

Here it is in action: quickly recording a base line then adding a drum sequence. Stop the recording and jam on top of your loops.

Modular mastermind

Multi-dimensional connectivity.

ERAE II features 24 (12 dual) configurable analogue outputs, to be used as CV/Gate, drum triggers, and bipolar modulation CV controls. Bring life to your modular patches, and record intricate loops to be played back on any CV!

Different skins.

ERAE II features a unique skin that connects the sensors to your fingers. This material is designed to provide the perfect gliding sensation, with just the right amount of softness and the organic feel of fabric.

This skin can be replaced in just a few minutes. Our Kickstarter backers will receive a second skin made of black silicone.

Expressive Controller Looper

Erae Touch is a polyphonic MIDI Controller & Looper.

Designed for immersive live performances it will enrich your musical composition and become the master device to control all your hardware synthesizer, modular gear and software instruments.

Built with unrivalled sensitivity and offering infinite configurability.

User-friendly configuration

No more back & forth menu diving.

Setup the tempo, set your scales and launch loops from the settings section with ease thanks to the backlit buttons, the LCD screen and the selection click wheel embedded in the top right hand corner.

The ERAE Lab

Create your own layouts with the free companion software ERAE Lab. It's a simple yet powerful creation software: elements, MIDI settings and styles can be defined and tested in just a few clicks.

ERAE Lab now enables seamless layouts and project management. Drag existing layouts from a project to the compose panel. Browse your project library and pick layouts to create new ones in a few clicks.

Customize your interface with musical elements such as isomorphic keygrids, keyboards, or control elements with fader and buttons.

An open canvas.

This is an open canvas for the most daring. The API is a custom sysex library with messages enabling you to take full control of the ERAE II detection points and LEDs states. (You can already download the full API Documentation here).

A new kind of arpeggiator.

Explore the arpeggio's parameters in 3D. All the arpeggiator parameters (rate, octave range, note length, pattern, steps, velocity) can be mapped to expressive gestures (after touch, slide, portamentos).

Use the aftertouch control to modulate the rate while sliding the same finger to bend the note. Push it even more with MPE!

Use familiar gestures to easily animate the sound of your favourite hardware and software synths.

Push your favourite synths further

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

Sturdy & precise

Touche 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

Touche 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

Touche can control all your favourite third-party software instruments too. Pre-made mappings for all best-selling VST instruments, as well as hardware instruments, are included.

Sounds included

Touche ships with UVI Workstation, a plug-in providing over 250 custom-designed instrument sounds. These sounds come pre-mapped with Touche so you can focus on producing.

A new, tactile playing experience

Touche bypasses the traditional limitations of most synths' and MIDI controllers' keybeds, seamlessly connecting your gestures to sound. Less programming, less automation, more creativity!

4 degrees of freedom

Each direction on the control surface affects different parameters. Combine movements for amazing effects.

Capturing precision

Touche captures your movements with pinpoint precision. Record incredible performances in real time.

Get percussive

Touch plate

We are all different, and your Touche can be different too. You can fully perfect your Touche's response with adjustable controls, and you can even customise its appearance with our range of alternative touch plate finishes, available separately.

Cylinder

The cylinder is the heart of the Touche - it controls exactly how your Touche reacts to pressure. The 'Shore 40 Pink Cylinder' is the classic all-rounder and is included with Touche. 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.

No computer required

Touche 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 - Touche is the perfect companion for adding expression to your live rig.
