Questions about Expressive E

Where are Expressive E instruments made?

While the company is German, manufacturing is a mix of in-house assembly in Germany and outsourced production in Asia, ensuring quality control.

Does the Touché work with all synthesizers?

The Touché is designed to be universal, but full functionality, especially aftertouch, depends on synthesizer compatibility and DAW support. It’s highly adaptable though.

What is the difference between the Touché and Touché SE?

The Touché SE is a more compact and affordable version with fewer knobs and a streamlined feature set compared to the full-sized Touché.
