MPE Controller Exquis Partners With Plugin Developers

Intuitive Instruments has announced a partnership with developers of plugins optimized for the Exquis, winner of the 2023 MIDI Innovation Awards. This the story in their own words...

Named «Best Hardware of the Year 2023» by a distinguished jury including Jean-Michel Jarre and Roger Linn, Exquis is an expressive and intuitive MPE controller. Each key provides independent gestural control over four dimensions: velocity, pressure, horizontal tilt, and vertical tilt.

Thanks to its MPE compatibility, Exquis enables seamless and natural interaction with virtual synthesizers, delivering precise and dynamic gestural control. It becomes a direct extension of the artist's creativity, allowing full exploitation of the plugins' sonic potential with unprecedented freedom and spontaneity.

Renowned MPE Plugins Designed for Expressiveness

Intuitive Instruments offers an exclusive bundle of plugins, carefully selected for their synergy with Exquis's expressive capabilities:

Atoms (BABY Audio) : A synthesizer based on physical modeling, Atoms creates organic and unique sounds. Perfect for crafting original soundscapes, it excels in productions requiring realistic and atmospheric textures. Baby Audio is especially known for its collaboration with YouTuber Andrew Huang.

RANDOM (BEATSURFING) : Leveraging a neural network, RANDOM delivers unique sound design possibilities. It includes various controls for navigating through distinctive sounds using synthesis and resonance systems, ideal for creating unpredictable sonic textures. RANDOM was ranked #2 in Andrew Huang's Top 10 Plugins of 2023.

Abyss (Dawesome) : Abyss is an MPE synthesizer perfect for crafting evolving and immersive sounds. Ideal for composing rich textures, cinematic pads, and deep drones, it evolves under your fingertips on Exquis's keys.

SOUNDBOX (Audiomodern) : A fully customizable MPE sampler, SOUNDBOX features a complete audio editor, a vector engine, and effects. The bundle includes three exclusive sound packs: Voxmotive, Kromium, and Cosmo.
