Exquis is an innovative and expressive MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) controller designed to make music creation accessible and intuitive for musicians of all levels. Developed by Intuitive Instruments, Exquis features a unique hexagonal key layout that simplifies the understanding and playing of harmonies. This design allows players to easily form chords and scales without needing extensive music theory knowledge, as harmonically pleasing notes are placed next to each other. The controller is designed to be both a standalone MIDI controller and a device that works in tandem with its companion application, providing a complete and seamless music production workflow. Whether you're a beginner exploring musical ideas or a seasoned professional looking for a new expressive tool, Exquis offers a refreshing and engaging way to create music.

The controller is not just about its unique layout; it's also built for detailed and nuanced performance. The keys are sensitive to velocity, aftertouch, and pitch bend, allowing for a wide range of expressive possibilities. In addition to the keys, Exquis is equipped with four encoders and a six-zone touch slider, giving users precise control over sound parameters. Its portability is another key aspect, being lightweight and having the ability to be powered by an external battery, making it an excellent tool for musicians on the go. The companion Exquis app further enhances its capabilities by offering a looper, a sequencer, and support for VST, VST3, and AUv3 audio plug-ins, making it a comprehensive solution for composing and performing.

  • 61 expressive keys with velocity, aftertouch, and MPE support for nuanced performances.
