- The folks from @PlayTronica sent me a Touch Me to review on my channel. This device is a bioelectric MIDI controller that interacts with online synthesizers through your web browser. In this video, I unbox it and try interacting with it a few different ways.

I would have found this device very appealing with a CV out. (And of course a 'real' MIDI out.)
Excellent video as always!
Agreed. CV and gate/trigger out would be really nice but I feel like 5-pin MIDI (even via TRS) is a necessity. USB is just too limiting. Thanks for checking it out.
Thank you so much for the mention of e-ther Kale. I agree with you totally, I'd love to play with this but the fact that it has MIDI over USB only is a bit limiting. I think that either cv/gate or real midi (or both!) would swing the sale for me.
That seems to be a popular opinion around here. just look at the other comments. 😝 Thanks for making a well-designed device with the options musicians want. I updated mine last week and I have to say the new features are great.
@@musicalmiscellany It's not so much a case of me researching what other musicians want but me making exactly what I wanted myself. I'm really pleased that it's gone down so well with others 🙂
@@midi_in well there's something to be said about manufacturers who actually use their products. They're designed better.
Thanks so much for this video. I almost bought this. 😀
I dunno. Seems like it would work for me but then again i have no musical ability so i might be exactly what its marketed for. Fun vid.
Honestly, I think that's the target audience. It would be a great tool to get immediate gratification or tech synthesizer concepts. Thanks for checking out the vid Marty.
interesting
It's a cool little device for sure. Thanks for checking it out.
There's no way to record from it? dang.
Thanks for checking out the vid. Just to level-set... typically you can't record audio from any MIDI controller. However, software instruments make the process a lot more challenging. You can record it but you'd have to setup the sw instrument to interface with you DAW.
@@musicalmiscellany Thanks.
Yeah its sort of pointless in its current form. Rather fun gadget idea though
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of software instruments and this pretty much requires it. Granted you can use a USB to MIDI converter but... why not just include a TRS MIDI breakout. It would've made it so much more useful. Thanks for checking it out.
