Touché & Moog

Posted in: Animation


Composed & Performed by Arthur Bouflet.

To promote Expressive E’s presence at the 2018 edition of the Moogfest, and to showcase the collaborative possibilities of Touché and Moog products, this video demonstrates some great sounds created using Touché connected to classic synthesizers from the Moog range.

Thanks to built-in USB, CV and MIDI connections, Touché can be tightly integrated to both hardware and software synths, as shown in the video with a Subsequent 37, the Model D iOS app, and a DFAM, all from Moog.

This video also lets us see a custom wooden skin for Touché, labeled with a golden “Moogfest 2018” logo on it. This custom skin will be available as an add-on for each purchase of a Touché at the Moogfest – Units will be available on sale, at the “Modular Marketplace” inside the festival.
