This video, via BoBeats, takes a look at Expressive E Touché – a new device that lets you add expressive control to your existing gear.
The Touché has 4 expression controls, with mechanical force feedback & sensibility adjusting.
Connectivity options include:
- 4 CV/Gate Output (3.5mm) with -10V / +10V maximum range
- 1 MIDI input & 1 MIDI output (3.5mm jack with MIDI adapter)
- 1 Type B USB port
Here’s a video demo from the 2016 NAMM Show, featuring Expressive E’s Arthur Bouflet, who demonstrates the Touché’s capabilities:

The Expressive E Touché is available now for €399.00.

Really good Demo… what studio monitors are you suing by the way?
Really cool!
For an iPod or iPhone:
If there is a ‘gymble’ / joystick style of holder, where you can seat the idevice, then you could use the Apps that convert motion expression movements into MIDI data.
I think it’s ugly and I don’t like it. I’ll keep saving for a Roli.
Yeah I don’t see the appeal either. Being a Roli owner, I can see how useful it is to have the extra tactile expressive control. But this is bulky and ugly. Surely they could have come up with a more elegant solution than this?
Sweet.
2007 JmJarre’s engineering dudes built something similar for his ARP2600.

ETouché more expressive.
I use a space navigator for this, but there is no native midi support from 3dconnexion on it. I’ve also tried the expressive e in Brighton and it’s well built and quite sensitive.
