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 two examples of the many ways Touché can interact with your gear. This standalone MIDI controller simply translates your gestures into data and sends it over MIDI, CV or USB. Touché precisely allows you to modulate any sound, from the subtlest brush to the wildest strike.
Sturdy and 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.

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.
