Hi, I’ve been using the Touché for a year now. That doesn’t mean that you theoretically couldn’t get great results if you take care, perhaps sitting and using it without your shoes on, but we unfortunately can’t offer support for a Touché that has been regularly stepped upon, taking into account the normal beatings and dirt that a guitarists stomp box rig has to swallow."

Although the unit itself is pretty durable, there are several reasons for this "We don’t recommend using your feet to control Touché. But after a few minutes (maybe longer if you have a big hand), The Pipe becomes too fatiguing to support with just one hand.
EXPRESSIVE E TOUCHE UPDATE FREE
Perhaps I’ll try it someday because it’s possible to play The Pipe one-handed, leaving the other one free for fine-tuned Expressive manipulation. I did intend to operate it like a “foot painter” as they say, but I’m still skeptical how successful I could be with it.
EXPRESSIVE E TOUCHE UPDATE PATCH
So even If there was a physical “hold” or it had no spring-back, there would still be physical bounds of travel.Ĭonsidering the mouse-like design of the Touche, i wonder if you might be looking for a combination of a trackball and max patch for those needs? I’m sure someone’s coded that up already and through scale of industry it’d be a $30 instead of $300 2 axis input device.Īccording to the company, operating it with the foot would be a substantial challenge. There’s a valid conceptual difference between the method of input, whereas a free turning encoder has no default state the Touche will return itself to its calibrated zero through mechanical means, there’s no need to push relative values. It was a good opportunity for me to look up what you were talking about and understand my hardware and the ecosystem a bit better That relative incrementation of the Goliath is required by design of the encoder but does not appear to be any special “mode”. I’m fairly certain that it’d be a requirement for any “endless” encoder, and it makes less sense in implementation to include relative values for the Touche which has a limited travel and is easier to track and bound the absolute value of than a knob without any stopping points.


Your DAW is what receives these relative changes to map and sent out to your synth as absolute values, check out 27.2.4 Mapping to Relative MIDI Controllers. Right, it’s not actually supported in MIDI spec.
