- Hello. The new Embodme Erae Touch MIDI controller is in my heart. This young and small French company is challenging the industry with something that works and flows incredibly well. I love it.

I like the analog sound effects that come from your mouth when booting things up.
You're the mad scientist of synthesis. Love the content mate.
Thanks Dave 🙏🏼
It's amazing that you can use drum sticks on something like this
Yeah, it really changes how you can use it.
I was very surprised it can handle drum sticks, and it seems to respond well to rolls. That's not at all what I expected. That sort of expression seems to be lost by the Elektron sequencer though... would probably work better with a MPC.
Love these alternative controllers! Thanks for the info and demonstration. Can’t wait to see even more demonstrations of your creations on this thing.
Thanks! Glad you like it! I really like this one! Useful, and super smooth to set up. Added depth to go nerdy. 💯
This Video is so well cut! As always, I learned a lot.
Great overview! I just ordered one with your code and link. Cheers!
Getting to use gear like this must really make you appreciate your job!
Alright - been missing the Cuckoo Tutorials! Looking forward to watching this one later tonight.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This I had to restart because of the custom synth you have on the right at the beginning. Really a cool synth!
Thanks. Yeah it's designed by Love Hulten, and I made it for my gig at Sonar in 2022.
This is really cool!
Nice concept. Looks like an old Lite Bright toy.
Magical ✨
🙏🏼
Fantastic! PLEASE do your magic with this connected to the Eagan Matrix module ! Can’t wait ! Thank you.
This is crazy it responded so good to the drum 🥁 sticks
Yeah it feels really really snappy.
I have recently tried the Linnstrument. It's great, as long as the temperature is right. Heat changes makes the silicon surface flabby and makes it more or less unplayable. The solution proposed by the company was to keep it in a fridge for 15-20 mins!
This looks much nicer, is customizable and sturdier. Kind of a Mutant Lemur on steroids.
I had this problem when I bought mine back to India from the states, I found a comment on some forum saying they loosened the screws just a tad and I tried it and it worked. It’s back to being flat and works well.
@@NakulKrishna happy that it works for you. I wasn't very eager to open a brand new 1000+ Euro instrument and take a peek inside.
Amazing machine! The jumper is cool too 😎
Thanks! Yeah I'm stoked for this machine! (And the jumper too)
I’d love to see Martin Horntveth use this in a video with you! Would be very interesting to see what you make together! The little instastory you posted intrigued me a lot!
❤️
Amazing.
Very cool.
👊🏼
That bass line at the end is phat 😊 peace
Haha, thanks! The Analog Rytm has a lot to offer as a bass synth actually. Some of the kick drum and rim shot synths, and the newer more open ended Dual VCO work really great as bass synths.
Sei troppo simpatico cuckoo! Ti voglio bene!
🙏🏼❤️
Whoah....fresh video!!😁......Nice all the new Gear but i cant keep up😩
lovely thing
Great video on this. Would love to see some mpe with it
Hey Cookoo, I’m a HUGE FAN since you began. I used your code to buy this Embode Touch, but it’s been two weeks now and I’ve got a new updates about shipping. AND, when you go to the website which I should’ve at first and read the Support page, apparently this is an ongoing issue with the company and I wish I knew that ahead of time that they don’t keep their products updated and don’t respond to their customers.
Well, just received ours yesterday. Incredible quality, still need figure it out. Your video is essential for that lol
Hi Cuckoo!, thank you very much for the video, if you can include information about the arpeggiator in your sequencer video!! All the best from Spain!
You can switch the controller on and off by long pressing the preset selector button.
I was hesitating a year ago about ordering this or waiting for the osmose. They both have their strengths but i chose the osmose due to the haken engine
Yeah the Osmose is really special. This is special too in its own way of course. I always like the idea of working with a visually customisable platform like this.
Hi. Thank you for a fantastic tutorial. What is the computer touchscreen you are using ?
beep beep! ❤📱🔥
Boop 👾
Can you write text labels inside the rectangles etc. to denote what each box is. Like Kick, Snare, Hi hat etc? Wish instead of a dot matrix LED it was a more realistic display.
I've had my Erae Touch for like a year and didn't know you could change the midi channel just by touching it 😅
Haha. It's a great feature! But you still need to save changes within the editor, I think.
Successfully turned that into a “cuckoo” machine in 20 mins
Would love to see s "mini" version of this
Aha. Like just the space for 4x4 finger pads kinda size?
Can the elektron sequencer get all the 32nd (or faster) rolls when recording (depending on pattern length/speed)? Does it quantize them into slower rolls? Would love to experiment with this with the Syntakt maybe
The Elektron sequencer can record one note per step/ trig. If you turn off Quantising, and record it records your playing pretty accurately. But if you play two notes in the span of one trig, it will still average that to one note (the last note you played). If you set the pattern to run at double tempo you'll have a shorter pattern, but at least you can record much more freely. You can also experiment with linking several double tempo patterns for recording longer sequences.
If you need rolls, you can enter them in manually in the sequencer. On the Rytm there is a feature called Roll. But generally this is called Retrig, and can be accessed by pressing trig+up. It can be a little fiddly getting it right, but the option to have a rolls/ retrigs per trig is there.
U can record your perf via midi on any DAW so u'll be able to go even 64, 128nd...
Do you think the screen will eventually get damaged over time by using drum sticks?
Looks awesome. Is this company going to abandon it like Sensel did with the Morph?
Could this thing be plugged in directly to your DAW? - It looks like some mad scientist rabbit hole device that someone could dive into for years and still not explore everything it can do!
Just plug it in and it works right away like any midi keyboard. It's really not as complicated as it seems!
NO one compares to you: Your tutorials are tremendous. Using this French controller reminds me of the fantastic interview you gave Knarf from 'Les Sondiers' ( czcams.com/video/zh4Fr4TNLW8/video.html )
Thank you! Ah thanks for reminding me of the interview! Always nice talking to Knarf!
Merci !
What's that computer/tablet?
Great video! You're very good at teaching
I've been finger drumming on a launchpad and have an issue that if I am performing a fast rudiment, some of the taps may not register because its set up so that if theres a finger currently pressed it doesn't allow registration of another click until its fully released.
I have a few questions:
1 You seem to be able to pull off very fast fills without this issue. Can you confirm the erae touch has this setting too? Where if you're clicking on a particular trigger, if it's still held down, then will it prevent a successive click until fully released? I hope not.
2 is it officially supported for drum sticks? Im concerned that It may damage it over time
3 does it have a dynamic note mode like the launchpad does where you can choose the root note and scale on the fly?
czcams.com/video/2QMaaxgT4_8/video.html
4 does it have a chord mode where it will dynamically give you chords within that scale?
czcams.com/video/1VBsfmFdcf0/video.html
5 Would this work standalone connected to iPad with garageband/logic?
6 I see it has a power io, so it isn't able to be powered by usb c? Thats unfortunate since it significantly reduces the portability of it, given id need to always be near an ac cable or would need a portable battery setup with adapters.
The product looks very cool, but at the same time it's very expensive as for just using it to preview the sounds. Maybe it's the worth money for those who are playing live, but absolutely not the worth for music producers who are just programming the music and all other guys who are not playing live. I hope in a few years such controllers will be more mass and it will cost much cheaper.
you dont use it just to preview sounds. You use it to record midi/mpe. And all kinds of other cool stuff.
@@spiralmoment yeas, it's if you good player. I'm programming music, not playing, so for me it is important to have a controller that can help in this
@@NatLifeSounds Well, if you can't see the use for it, its obviously not for you.
@@spiralmoment of course.
@@NatLifeSounds You can program it and select all the music scale so actually it's a great tool for sound designers and beatmakers as well!
So they made a 700$ Roli block. 😅😂
its a lot cheaper than 6 blocks were, and way cooler. And it's also not out of production.
They should've named it the "Ola"
Or maybe Olala
A 700 Euro MIDI controller with no proper DIN MIDI socket? Pass.
if you're spending that much on a midi controller you likely already have an interface with midi out
mini trs jack MIDI out on this, as well as USB-C.
