About Expressive E
The French electronic instrument developer Expressive E has created the award-winning Touché and Touché SE controllers, Arché physical-modeling instruments and multiple soundbanks, including the MPE Collection. Expressive E’s mission is to improve the way musicians interact with sounds by creating a much more intuitive and powerful music-making experience.
The debut of Touché & Lié
The company debuted its first product, Touché, to bring the same emotive depth, playing sensation, and expression of acoustic instruments to the world of synthesizers and electronic music-making. As with an acoustic instrument, the users’ fingers tap, press, or trace across the wooden touch plate to create new sounds with astonishing dimensions.
Expressive E builds an open ecosystem of hardware and software products, letting musicians rediscover their hardware and software synths simply by using Expressive E’s presets or creating their own presets in the Lié software.
The company’s award-winning Touché controller and its upcoming 2025 product line contribute to the expressivity movement that will define the decade in music technology.
“We’re confident that expressivity is the way that music-creation technology will be going in the coming years,” – Alexandre Bellot, co-founder and CEO of Expressive E.
“Software instruments and hardware synthesizers have become incredibly powerful without their user interfaces catching up to let musicians play with emotional and physically-connected expression. That’s beginning to change, and we love that we’re a part of that.”
- Expressive E, in collaboration with Haken Audio, releases Osmose, the new standard for musical expressivity. This standalone polyphonic synthesizer unlocks new ways to control sound with familiar gestures (press, bend, shake, & more).
It has been Expressive E’s mission since it launched to bring the same emotive depth, playing sensation, and expression of acoustic instruments to the world of synthesizers and electronic music-making. With its Touché controllers, software synths, Osmose keyboard, and powerful dedicated sound design, the musician enjoys a seamless and direct impact between their finger movements and the resulting sounds, much like a guitar player or an orchestral musician.
