Product Information

The Joué Editor software, available with the Pro option, allows you to edit every MIDI message sent with the Play Pads.

Scaler: A full-width 17-key chromatic keyboard layout oriented towards instruments like harp or vibraphone. I think I might make a separate thread for ongoing discussion of development, if nothing else to keep me sane while I grok a new skillset. Press one finger on the surface with maximum force, and observe aftertouch messages being sent with the highest possible value. MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) allows digital instruments to behave more like acoustic instruments in terms of spontaneous, polyphonic sound control.The sounds are pretty impressive, especially when you start to jazz them up a bit with the effects sliders. What is even more annoying is pressing hard will completely blow out the other notes aftertouch data, so with each note, you have to press lighter and lighter to not blow out their output. Combine all controllers into one device that you'll always have at hand on the go, in the studio or. Equipped with a pressure sensitive multi-touch sensor, the Joué Play draws its unique expressiveness from an expertise developed with its ancestor the Lemur, pioneer of multi-touch controllers.

Combined with the ability to layer sounds, you can make multi-part, multi-instrument projects and then export them as audio mixdowns, stems or MIDI files. Joué’s new Play controller, several years in development, falls into the latter camp and is unique in how it combines physical and virtual components. You play each board according to its design, so the most conventional is the piano, closely followed by drums, then keys and guitar.You’ll need to attach the relevant pad to enable the different categories of sound and the app actually supports up to eight boards being connected, should you want to collaborate in real-time.

Up to eight tracks can be used per project, and users can set tempo, loop length, and instrument tuning (the guitar pad offers alternative tunings like drop C).

Play does function as a general MIDI controller so you can hook it up to anything – its use of USB rather than routing via a MIDI interface is a bonus, as is its ultra-portability. Turn the Keys Pad into a mixing console or tune the Guitar Pad into a left-handed guitar: the possibilities are endless. I intend to keep the script extremely simple and performant so I can use it on my rpi 0 which takes care of the wireless connection currently. Activate the MPE function on your Joué Play and modulate all MIDI parameters simultaneously with natural gestures.
