  • Checking out the portable, modular MPE MIDI controller - Joué Play, which uses interchangeable rubber pads to let you switch up your configuration depending on what you want to control. Particularly interesting for anybody looking for an affordable entry into the mysterious world of MPE.

    Yes!!! That feeling when you go looking for a review/demo of a bit of kit and you discover one of your faves have covered it!

      Your comment is exactly what has kept me from purchasing any of these rubberized mat controllers.

    I love everything that's not a standard keyboard. I am also dealing with trying to use standard keyboards, but everything from the Instrument 1, to the Microfreak, to the Kaoss pad - anything nonstandard is my jam.
    Really wish there were more options for isomorphic midi keyboards.

    Reminds me of the sensel morph. Hopefully it will have greater staying power.

    "Je suis un ananas" hahaha. You got "Joué" right tho when you pronounce it with the "é".
    Thanks for the review. I've been wondering if I should pick this up and support my country. But if I could find a used Sensel Morph I'm so keen on trying the Buchla Overlay! I feel like it'd pair so well with all the Fors M4L devices!

      I actually learned French in High School for like six years... but it was a disaster. My school was a bit rough, and people just could not grasp it at all. It was chaos. I did much better with German since it's harsher ha. I think a lot of folks are interested in the old Morphs for that particular reason!

    Just received my Joué Play. One USBc toUSBc cable 3ft included. That’s all. And if you want to configure the thing the app upgrade costs $50us. I also had to pay $53 cdn to import the Joué Play. Trying to get the MPE to work properly with Ableton Live.

      Bluetooth still isn't common for controllers like this

    • @ogpandamonium
      @ogpandamonium Před 10 měsíci

      Bluetooth would have a huge delay so you couldnt play along to anything

    • @isocarboxazid
      @isocarboxazid Před 5 měsíci

      It is affordable and almost no controllers have Bluetooth. What dimension did you fall into this one from?
