Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike aftertouch, 'inshifting' allows for four independent, continuous parameters – pressure, lateral movement, resistance – that can be mapped to various synth functions.
Absolutely, the 4 CV outputs provide straightforward integration with Eurorack modules, allowing for direct control of voltage-controlled synthesizers and effects.
While the Touché can function as a basic MIDI controller, the Lié software unlocks its full expressive capabilities and provides a user-friendly interface for configuring the 'inshifting' parameters.
