Sonic State caught up with Serguei from Intuitive Instruments at NAMM 2024 who showed us their latest innovation, the Exquis MPE Controller. Serguei explains that the Exquis is a highly expressive MIDI controller compatible with various software, synthesizers, and modular setups. The controller features a unique keyboard layout with a patented note arrangement, providing users with an intuitive and logical structure for playing semitones, thirds (major or minor), and scales. Serguei demonstrated the smooth and expressive capabilities of the keyboard, demonstrating pitch bends and expressive play.
Exquis Price 299 USD

l Exquis the best MPE affordable instrument . from france. I love it. and the Dualo also 🎉❤

I bought one recently, best controller I have ever owned. Friend of mine has a Linnstrument but it's in a completely different price range that is pretty much impossible for me to justify the expense of. The Exquis single-handedly cured my FOMO about Linnstrument, Osmose, Seaboard, etc and the note layout is probably my favorite I have ever used on any music gear, and I have been making music for near a decade.

I've got one! Got in the Kickstarter early on, after it was featured on SonicTalk funnily enough. I always wanted this 'keyboard' type having missed out on similar products years ago and the MPE was a plus. It's great fun and works well with Bitwig and MPE plug-ins.

@mrrafsk 5 ай бұрын

This is going to sell like hotcakes!! Good price. This is 66 pads, linnstrument mini is 128, Launchpad and push is 64, striso is 61. The hex buttons make the physical distance between the notes small enough to play chords in chromatic mode… unlike the push3.. but I need more notes. What this is perfect for is wind and string instruments that have this limited tonal range, and generally use high expressivity.

@ToyKeeper 5 ай бұрын

I have a C-Thru Axis-49 and it has been great for isomorphic playing. I think I like the Exquis layout better though, and the additional expressiveness and lights are good too. Would be super cool if it could dynamically change which lights are on, by receiving midi notes from a sequencer. Like, send every key in a scale simultaneously, and it'd change the lighting pattern to match. Then it would automatically show the correct notes no matter which song I'm working on, even if the scale or key is very strange or changes mid-song.

Hi, I am interested in microtonal applications of the controller. Is it possible to remap the notes of the pads within the software for non 12 tone systems? Much like you can with the Sensel/lumatone apps or other isomorphic layout controllers

More like 2.5 octaves. He plays a 2-octave scale at 1:41 with room to spare.

@LightningSpritesJetsWizard 5 ай бұрын

I see now, to follow the scale you use two pads every row. Still, if I want to invert a chord or add lower octave notes, I wouldn't readily know which ones to press, unlike a keyboard. Maybe there are tricks for this based on the local shape?

I hope it happens before the world dies.
