Source signs Expressive E exclusive

Source Distribution has been appointed as the exclusive distributor in the UK and Ireland for Expressive-E products, maker of the Touché expressive instrument and controller.

Touché translates gestural control, from broad movements to an extremely light touch, into complex modulation in a fashion that would be difficult to achieve via traditional input methods such as dials, pads and buttons. 

Customers can take advantage of the multi-dimensional capabilities of Touché by installing the included Lié virtual instrument, which works standalone or in all modern DAWs.

With USB, MIDI output and four Control Voltage outputs, Touché is able to add value to work with nearly any third party device. It adds expressive control to third-party software via USB, but can also operate standalone to enhance MIDI-controllable synthesizers, and output control voltages to compatible hardware such as vintage synthesizers and modern modular synthesizers.

Source Distribution brand manager, Alex Theakston said: “We’ve been absolutely blown away by the results we’ve seen Touché is capable of – there are extraordinary, evocative patches in Lié, and you can be up and running out of the box with them in minutes. But more than this, once you start to interface Touché with other devices, it also has the power to unlock new sounds from all your old equipment. Touché does not replace any existing device, it works in combination with your existing synthesizers, MIDI keyboards, software and modular synths, enormously enhancing what they do in a way that is highly configurable and flexible. A Touché would enhance any studio. As such, Touché is an excellent complement to Source’s existing portfolio of compatible synthesizer brands, and we’re excited to be bringing this forward-thinking new brand to the UK and Ireland.”
