Expressive E Touché SE USB Instrument Control Surface for Software Synthesizers, Keyboards, and Music Production Software

Love this and use it almost everytime I record and produce music. It adds so much more dynamics compared to other controllers. Total game changer in music production. It was easy to setup and love the instruments Expressive E has created that works with this as well. Its so much fun and couldn't even imagine using synth instruments without this now.

This is a game changer! Only issue is the program is a little finicky but once you explore its capability, especially it’s integration with omnisphere.. you can create unique and expressive samples in minutes once you get used to it. The unit itself is built to a high standard, I’m sure the premium version is even better.

Item was safe and working no damage

The touche is something ive wanted for years and when they released the cheaper touche se i couldnt say no anymore. The built quality is amazing and the responsiveness and sensitivity adjusments make this a beautiful musical instrument that's easy to get a personalized feel with just a couple setting tweaks.

This product looked like an interesting MIDI controller for, primarily, VSTi's. Upon receipt I installed the supplied software. It came with a synthesizer app, UVI Workstation, that apparently was included to showcase the control possibilities of the device. That was a total non-functional piece of crap. It couldn't even locate it's own data that was installed with the app. It not only didn't work at all but couldn't be closed by clicking the Windows X, I had to use the Task Manager to close the process. Next I installed the Lié software that controls the Touché device. Upon first launch and connecting the Touché USB cable I was informed that the firmware was out of date. There was a selection to update the firmware so performed that step. Next I set up the device, e.g., providing the path to scan for VST instruments. As soon as the scan started it triggered PC Matic anti-virus to block the scan. I have several other applications (Cakewalk, Sound Forge) that also scan for VST's and their scans don't trigger the anti-virus. I then disabled the anti-virus and re-launched Lié. It again flagged that the firmware was out of date, even though it had just been updated. With the VST scan relaunched it quickly hung on one particular VSTi that other apps also don't have a problem with. I could either remove that particular VSTi and try to rescan or admit that this product just isn't ready for prime time. I couldn't see any good reason to remove an otherwise perfectly usable VST instrument. I returned the product. Just way too much of an installation hassle. I have no idea how it actually would function if the software weren't so inferior.
