Exquis: expressive, MPE, intuitive, affordable, now optimised for Ableton Live

[Superbooth25] Intuitive Instruments, the French company behind the award‑winning Exquis ex‑pressive MPE keyboard, unveils a triple update that turns its flagship instrument into the ultimate, lightweight and compact creative hub for Ableton Live users

Unlike pad‑centric grid controllers optimised for finger‑drumming and loop triggering, Exquis responds like a real acoustic instrument: its 61 soft silicone keys, each with independent five‑dimension MPE control, provide the nuanced touch and emotional depth needed for flowing melodies and harmonically rich chords.

Exquis Remote‑Control Script for Ableton Live

The brand‑new Python‑based Remote Script integrates Exquis seamlessly into Live’s native controller family, delivering Launchpad‑style Session control and an instrument‑grade expressive touch—courtesy of its MPE twist—that makes playing melodies and chords feel effortlessly natural:

• Session view – create, launch and delete clips or scenes without touching the mouse.

• Track mastery – arm, select, mute and solo any track, and get immediate access to volume, pan and aux sends

• Expressive performance – chords, melodies and drum racks flow through all 61 soft silicone keys with independant and
polyphonic 5 dimensions controls.

• Hands‑on transport & harmony – set Live’s tempo, root note and scale directly from Exquis.

• Per‑track note layouts – recall any of the keyboard’s eight onboard layouts (or your own customs) automatically when you change tracks — instantly reconfiguring Exquis into a specific instrument for every track, be it a bass, a percussive grid, or a soaring solo lead.

• One‑touch Favourites – call up Live racks or plugin presets in a heartbeat via Exquis’ exclusive favourites system.

• Device & mix control – tweak any parameter on any device and any track with using four push encoders and ten action buttons.

The script installs like any official Ableton controller template and requires Live 12.

Firmware v2.1 — Poly‑Hold Sustain & Developer Mode

In keeping with Intuitive Instruments’ drive for constant refinement, firmware v2.1 delivers two
headline additions:

• Poly‑Hold Sustain – let chords ring out indefinitely while the onboard arpeggiator conti‑ nues to evolve.

• Developer Mode – an open MIDI API that exposes every hardware element—keys, en‑ coders, action buttons, RGB LEDs and even onboard memory—so developers can remap behaviours, write custom DAW scripts or integrate Exquis into bespoke performance setups.

The update also packs an array of stability improvements for an even smoother playing expe‑rience.

Exquis App v2 — New factory preset list and 1 500 Curated Presets

The companion software for macOS/Windows receives new factory preset list featuring hand‑picked, layout‑optimised patches for Surge XT, Vital and Decent Samplerand a vast sound‑library expansion bringing 1 250 new sounds tuned for Surge XT, Vital, Decent Sampler, Baby Audio Atom, Beatsurfing Random, Dawesome Abyss, Zyklus, Audiomodern Soun‑ dbox and Newfangled Audio Pendulate — now 1 500 presets in total.

Superbooth 2025 and Embodme.

Intuitive Instruments will attend the Superbooth 2025: booth O134, in the mezzanine of the main hall, side to Expressivee and Embodme.

Multitimbrality Comes to Supercritical Synthesizers Redshift 6

Redshift 6 - Multitimbral Techno Tweak video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers

"We are super excited to introduce multitimbrality — it makes the Redshift 6 more than six times more powerful than it already is.

On this demo, we put the Redshift 6’s new multitimbrality feature to the test.

The multitimbrality is currently in beta testing, and this demo uses the beta firmware. The firmware is available on our Discord server. You can join our Discord to access beta versions of the firmware, discuss technical details and development of the Redshift 6, and share demos.

The Redshift 6 is six-part multitimbral, and the new multitimbrality feature makes it possible to assign its six voices in various ways.

The voices can be split into traditional polyphonic keyboard zones, layered across multiple parts to play simultaneously, or, for example, used as six monophonic parts. Thanks to the Redshift 6’s paraphony, these monophonic parts can also be used to play chords.

This demo was recorded live using the Redshift 6’s main and auxiliary outputs. The Dub Chords and Reso Chords were recorded in stereo from the main output and AUX 1. The bass line and noise were recorded in mono from AUX 2.

When the parts are panned left and right, the Redshift 6’s three outputs provide six mono outputs, allowing each of the six parts to have its own dedicated output.

All the synth sounds in this demo were recorded live from the Redshift 6. The drum and FX sounds are samples, created using only the Redshift 6. These samples were sequenced in a DAW after the live tweaking.

We are attending Superbooth 2025 in Berlin. If you're coming to the event, stop by and test the Redshift 6. You can find us at Bungalow B020 in the Bungalowdorf."

Introducing Tempera MINI

video upload by beetlecrab

"Tempera MINI is a new synthesizer from Beetlecrab.audio in a form factor so small, it defies reason."

Tempera MINI prototype devlog #1

video upload by beetlecrab

"First video of Tempera MINI proof of concept development"

via beetlecrab.audio

"At beetlecrab.audio, we have always been committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Tempera has seen an incredible response from musicians, sound designers, and experimental artists who have embraced its unique interface and deep sonic capabilities. However, one question has persisted: what is the absolute essence of Tempera?

This question led us down an ambitious path of innovation, culminating in our latest development—Tempera MINI. A radically compact version of our flagship granular synthesizer, Tempera MINI distills the essence of expressive polyphonic synthesis into a form factor so small, it defies reason.

Development Progress & Challenges

The development of Tempera MINI has been an exercise in extreme engineering. Our team faced several core challenges, including:

Interface Miniaturization – The original Tempera features a spacious multi-touch surface designed for expressive playability. Shrinking this down while compromising playability required rethinking the user interface entirely. Through meticulous touch calibration and adaptive gesture detection, we managed to preserve a highly playable surface area despite the drastic size reduction. Component Density – Packing almost none of Tempera’s synthesis engine into a fraction of the space posed significant electronic and thermal management challenges. After extensive board redesigns and custom component sourcing, we successfully achieved a form factor that maintains basically no functionality of the original Tempera—albeit at a radically compact scale.

LSPXPO 2025: Clacktronics: Flatpack Modular in a Ring Binder

video upload by sonicstate

"We've filmed this before, but it's such a cool idea we had to drop by again and see Ben*, who introduced us to the *Build Your Own Modular system. This Eurorack kit offers you the opportunity to construct your own modular synthesizer.

The kit arrives in a ring binder format, where the dividers themselves are the circuit boards. As Ben explained, the designs are open source, allowing you to modify or expand upon them.

The kit includes various modules like an LFO, envelope generator, VCOs, and more, and encourages a hands-on approach with simple through-hole components. A Discord community supports builders for troubleshooting and enhancements.

Ben also shared news about an upcoming non-DIY speaker module, designed with enhanced bass response. Fitting seamlessly into your rack, it is anticipated to be priced just over £100. Ben plans further developments and features, potentially unveiled at Superbooth in May."

Modular meets Oberheim | TEO-5, MCO MKII, Zagrzeb, Bitbox Micro, Sealegs

video upload by Ondřej Píša

"When I went to Superbooth 2024 in Berlin and tried TEO-5 by #oberheim there, I immediately knew that this is the synth I wish to have and wish to combine with my modular system. This is the very first try I played both together.

I am not a keyboard player, no musical background, just learning on my own and enjoying the sound so please bare with me :). Also this is the very first try to put both instruments together.

TEO-5 setup: this is my own patch I set when I was chasing for Yamaha CS-80 sound. It is not quite like that. I love this patch anyway. Both oscillators are combinations of square and sawtooth waves, bit of filter detuning, voice spread panning. Also it is runs through #meris Mercury X pedal for larger reverb (preset #1 Two Worlds)

Modular setup:
Drums are samples on #1010music Bitbox Micro, triggered by #intellijeldesigns Steppy
Voice: ALM Busy Circuits MCO MKII (Digiwave engine), Wave B modulated by Pam's Pro Workout (sine wave, heavily attenuated). It is run through #xaocdevices Zagrzeb LPF into #intellijeldesigns Sealegs for delay + reverb. It is sequenced by #xaocdevices Moskwa II with probability for step play, ratcheting and also I use #intellijeldesigns Planar 2 into #intellijeldesigns Triplatt for attenuation into #intellijeldesigns Scales into #xaocdevices Ostankino's Transpose occasionally to transpose the sequence."
