Touché SE is a more affordable, USB-only version of the existing Touché controller. It has the exact same form factor and the same patented playing mechanism, and it offers the same software capabilities. With Touché SE you get the same software bundle and the same factory sound library, so you can control all of your VST instruments just as you can with its bigger brother, the classic Touché.
 

The difference is that Touché SE does not have physical MIDI In/Out or CV output ports, and it does not have the 24 internal memory slots that the Touché has, so its standalone capabilities are more limited. In general, Touché SE is designed to be connected to a computer, mostly for controlling soft synths, whereas the classic Touché also adds strong integration with hardware synths.

That said, Touché SE can still work as a MIDI class-compliant device when used without our companion app Lié. It has a single customizable internal memory that defines which MIDI CCs are sent. You can learn more about the standalone capabilities of both models here:

The most obvious difference between the two is the touch-plate. Touché SE has an all-black polycarbonate touch-plate skin, whereas the classic Touché's touch-plate is made of real wood (tinted mahogany). If you would like to upgrade your Touché SE with a wooden skin, you can purchase a choice of different touch-plates through our website.
