2.3. Controls 

2.3.1. Buttons 

In 

Standalone

 mode, you can select a preset from Touché’s internal memory by using the le

ft

 and right buttons.  

Touché has an internal memory of 6 banks of 4 presets each, for a total of 24 presets. Each bank has its own colour 
(learn more in the 

Memory View

 section). The preset’s number matches the amount of 

LEDs

 lit, and the colour of 

those 

LEDs

 indicate which bank you’re in. 

• Pressing the right button will load the next preset from the bank 
• Pressing the right button when the current preset is the last of a bank will select the first preset of the next bank. 

• Pressing the le

ft

 button will load the previous preset from the bank 

• Pressing the le

ft

 button when the current preset is the first of a bank will select the last preset of the previous 

bank. 

In 

Slave

 mode, You can use the right and le

ft

 buttons to navigate through Lié’s presets, as you would in 

Standalone

 

mode.  

Moreover, in 

Slave

 mode only, the Buttons send the following 

 

CCs :  

• Le

ft

 : CC 80  

• Right : CC 81 

2.3.2. Encoder 

In both 

Slave and Standalone

 mode, the Encoder allows you to define Touché’s sensitivity. Turning it towards the 

right will increase sensitivity, turning it to the le

ft

 will decrease it. The Encoder has 8 sensitivity steps, and the four 

LEDs

 will display the sensitivity steps whenever you turn the Encoder, by being incrementally lit from le

ft

 to right 

(Learn more in the 

Adjusting your sensitivity

 section). 

The Encoder also gives you a special feature called “Freeze” : pushing the Encoder will freeze the data sent from the 
four 

Shi

ft

ings

. Touché shows that it is freeze mode when its four 

LEDs

 are blinking. If you release your hand from 

Touché while it is in Freeze mode, or press it in any way, it will maintain the controlled parameters at the frozen 
value. Pushing again the Encoder will unfreeze Touché.  

2.3.3. LEDs 

LEDs gives you a visual feedback on di

erent aspects : 

White LEDs

 display sensitivity levels ; there are 8 di

erent levels of sensitivity going from low (le

ft

) : one LED on 

intermediate brightness, to high (right) : all LED on maximum brightness. 

Slave

 mode always displays sensitivity. 

Standalone

 mode displays sensitivity when the 

Encoder

 is being turned. 

Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, and Purple LEDs

 display the di

erent banks when Touché is in 

Standalone

 

mode. The preset’s number matches the amount of lit LEDs . 

Pink LEDs 

display the bootloader mode : Touché is installing or waiting for a new firmware. 

Blinking

 light indicate that Touché is frozen : Pushing the 

Encoder

 will freeze the data sent from the four 

Shi

ft

ings

. Pushing again the 

Encoder

 will unfreeze Touché.
