A green power symbol will light up, just as it does for the MIDI keyboard you have probably already connected. Find the entry TOUCHE or TOUCHESE in the input section, select it and click on 'Enable' below. It encourages you to ‘play’ virtual instruments in ways you wouldn’t with standard controllers. Click on 'Options' -> 'MIDI settings' or just hit F10 to check. This aside, the Touché is a well- designed, expressive controller and for software-centric musicians is an excellent addition to an existing MIDI controller setup. With just a USB connection, the device isn’t directly aimed at hardware users, but it can still be used to control external instruments via a DAW, so it’s a little disappointing that there’s no way to easily save templates or presets for that purpose. Being software-centric, the Touché SE doesn’t offer up a selection of hardware templates like its MIDI/CV-equipped sibling. When used in this way, each of its ‘Shiftings’ outputs a MIDI CC, which can be changed and configured using Lié. An important difference between the Touche SE and standard is that as well as midi outs, the standard one allows you to have multiple (20 I think) presets configured which you can easily switch between, whereas the SE only stores 1 config. The Touché SE can also be used in standalone mode without Lié loaded. There's a template in the Touche software for the Circuit so you can build your own presets. While the range of presets is far from exhaustive - the likes of Serum, Omnisphere and Avenger don’t get a look in - those supplied are generally very well chosen and effective.įortunately it’s very easy to create and edit your own, meaning you can adapt the system to whatever software sounds you choose to use. Presets are loaded within Lié, with pre-mapped assignments for the Touché controller. The Touché SE also comes with several packs of presets for software instruments including UVI Workstation (bundled) and Falcon, Arturia’s SEM V and Mini V, Sylenth1, U-he Diva and NI Massive. The hardware still feels high-quality and its shapely, all-black design exudes quality
