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.
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.
Doepfer will be showcasing the above new modules at SUPERBOOTH25. Details on each follow. Check with dealers on the right for upcoming availability.
Module A-119-2 is kind of a dual version of module A-119 without envelope follower. Instead two amplifiers are available and the module width is 4 HP only.
The module contains two amplifiers with separately adjustable amplification levels. Each channel is equipped with an overload display. The module can be used also for stereo signals, e.g. the stereo output of a smartphone.
Controls and displays:
Level 1/2: manual control of the amplification in the range 0 - about 45.
Overload 1/2: overload LED, begins to light up for output levels beyond about 10Vpp (+/-5V)
In 1: audio input 1 (monophonic or stereophonic, see technical details)
In 2: audio input 2 (monophonic)
Out 1/2: audio output (monophonic)
Technical details:
for higher amplifications the two amplifiers can be daisy-chained
normalling options: the signal applied to socket In 1 can be normalled to socket In 2 in different ways by means of a jumper on the pc board:
socket In 1 is connected via a mono patch cable (standard patch cable) to a monophonic signal and this signal is normalled to socket In 2 (i.e. the same input signal for both sub-units): jumper on pin header JP2 in upper position
socket In 1 is connected via a 3.5 mm stereo TRS cable to a stereophonic signal and the second channel of the stereo signal is normalled to socket In 2: jumper on pin header JP2 in lower position
no normalling: jumper is removed from pin header JP2
all inputs and outputs are DC coupled. Thus the module can be used also for the amplifications of control voltages.
"Introducing: Liquid Voice – Experimental Oscillator & Drum Module (8HP)
After the huge success of the Liquid Glitcher, we’re back with something special — a more compact edition built on the same powerful engine and signature voice.
Liquid Voice packs the same sonic punch — glitchy textures, deep sub-bass, and unique drum timbres — all in just 8HP. Despite being smaller in size, the sound is bigger than ever.
Three distinct outputs:
• Wave Out – Delivers tiny, glitchy textures and synthetic bursts.
• Sub Out – A fusion of deep sub-bass and micro-sounds.
• Drum Out – A hybrid voice created between two internal oscillators, shaped by a vactrol in a Lopez gate for that raw, organic snap.
This isn’t just a downsized version — it’s a refined and reimagined tool for experimental creators who want maximum versatility in minimal space.
Check out the demos and discover the beautiful chaos of Liquid Voice."
SUPERBOOTH BERLIN is excited to be able to confirm the dates for the 2025 edition next year:
SUPERBOOTH 25 will be happening from 8th - 10th of May 2025 at the FEZ-Berlin! Pre-sale tickets for SUPERBOOTH 25 will be available towards the end of the year.
Additionally, SUPERBOOTH is happy to announce that this year’s SUPERBOOTH 24 was a big success overall and the biggest SuperBooth yet!
Over three days, we were able to welcome about 2500 guests and participants per day and over 280 exhibitors from all over the world — including new countries such as Armenia, Cyprus, Iceland and Mexico — that showcased their newest develop- ments and products.
The success of SB24 was also a stepping stone towards SuperBooth’s journey of becoming one of Europe’s premiere pro-audio trade fairs, with over 33 internatio- nal pro audio brands in attendance.
SB24’s performance and musical program was as big as ever, with over 15 work- shops and over 40 musical performance slots from a diverse variety of artists and performers.
About 250 members of the international press and media attended, including the most important outlets in the field of synthesizer and music production and many of its biggest YouTubers and content creators.
More detailed information about SUPERBOOTH 25 and the upcoming ticket pre- sales will follow in the fall.
