Notes: 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

Tap your melodies rhythmically, creating percussive tones unique to the Touche family.

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.
