Product Information

Touché SE (“SoftwareEdition”) is a new instrument for adding expression, depth and musicality to software synthesizers and plug-ins. It responds to both the lightest and the most intense gestures, giving users immediate, intuitive control of their sounds. Musicians, producers and sound designers can unlock instant, real-time control of multiple parameters at once, creating complex and evolving new sounds using intuitive slides, taps and touches of the Touché SE control surface. Touché SE shares the same build quality, patented mechanism and sound library as the classic Touché, refined with USB-only connectivity for software applications, and a new polycarbonate touch-plate. Expressive-E have expanded the sound library to include more than 200 factory sounds, pre-mapped to take full advantage of TouchéSE’s extensive control capabilities, as well as including more than 200 presets for third party VST instruments.

Additionally, Touché’s companion software Lié allows users to easily host and unlock the true potential of their third party VST instrument library. Users can quickly map parameters to the Touché SE interface, creating sounds and performances with an expressive depth they may never have realised their software was capable of. Lié also includes the sound expansion 'Carbon'. Carbon contains 60 new sounds using the UVI Falcon engine running within UVI Workstation, which is bundled with Lié.

Creating expressive new music has never been so easy. Simply connect Touché SE to your Mac or PC, install the included software library and start exploring over 200 sounds, designed to take full advantage of the Touché SE controller. Intuitively tap, push, shift and slide across the touch-plate surface to create extraordinary, exotic and evolving timbres created not through painstaking automation, but instantly, in real time.

Touché SE is a combination of a robust bus – powered USB hardware controller with patented multi-dimensional control plate mechanism, allowing the user to interact with software instruments using multiple axes of movement at once. This is combined with a software package which includes over 200 sounds (which behind the scenes use the UVI Workstation instrument, included). These sounds are mapped to take full advantage of the hardware, ready to play right after installation. Touché’s control software, Lié also hosts third-party VST instruments, allowing the user to take advantage of the multi-dimensional nature of the hardware with their existing software instruments. Lié works both standalone, or is it self-compatible with any popular DAW that supports VST or AU plug-ins.

Touché SE, like Touché, features four degrees of movement (Push Top Down, Push Bottom Down, Shift Left, Shift Right). Users can map up to eight plug-in parameters to each axis of movement, and fine tune the range/degree of control per mapping, allowing one sweeping movement to cause massive timbral shifts over a huge range of parameters. As with any MIDI controller, users can record and replay these gestures with their DAW, and users can call up as many instances of the Lié software as their computer can handle.
