Press release follows:


Both firmware and software updates are free of charge.

The version 2 of the firmware and companion software introduces several new features and a com-plete graphic redesign, offering enhanced customization options for the keyboard.

Now featuring up to 32 scales and 8 notes layouts onboard

In addition to a wide selection of factory scales and layouts, users can design their own custom scales and note layouts using Exquis’ companion software. Each key can be assigned individual MIDI values and colors, with the configurations stored directly in the keyboard’s memory for standalone use as a MIDI MPE controller. These custom files can also be shared with the com-munity, fostering collaboration and creativity..

Customizable MIDI Messages and Sensitivity Curves

MIDI CC values for the four rotary, clickable encoders and action buttons are now fully editable via Exquis’ companion sof-tware and saved to the device’s memory for standalone operation. Additionally, users can fine-tune sensitivity curves for all expressive dimensions -velocity, X, Y, and Z axes- ensuring optimal control and responsiveness.

A Redesigned Graphical Interface

The Exquis companion software now features a completely redesigned graphical interface for quick and intuitive use. With its spontaneous workflow, users can compose simple songs in moments. Designed to transform Exquis into a standalone electronic instrument, the app combines an enhanced looper (11 tracks, 44 loops) with a simple sequencer (11 events) and is compatible with all AU, VST, and VST3 plugins, running seamlessly on macOS and Windows.

Adaptable to Any Configuration
One standout feature of the Exquis application is its ability to adapt to any note layout, saving it as a track parameter or even linking it to a plugin preset. This makes it possible to create hybrid instruments tailored to specific soundscapes, unlocking new creative possibilities.


250 Expressive Presets Optimized for Exquis

The update also includes 100 brand-new factory presets for the Vital and Decent Sampler free MPE plugins, complementing the refreshed 150 presets for the Surge XT free MPE plugin. All these presets are available directly within the Exquis app, ready to load in a single click, com-plete with optimized note layouts.

Craig Padilla - Solina Movement 5 (ARP Solina String Ensemble and Source Audio Pedals Improvisation)


video upload by Craig Padilla

"This is the epic final track from the ambient album 'SOLINA' by Craig Padilla. This improvised spacemusic performance was captured live on three cameras, performed on an ARP SE-IV Electronic Music Synthesizer using COLLIDER and LUNAR effects pedals by Source Audio which run through a long decaying looper plug-in called ElotTronix XL. Everything that you see and hear was performed live in the moment on this classic synthesizer from the 70's without any overdubs.

The ARP SE-IV String Ensemble is a classic synthesizer that was used on many albums by a variety of artists throughout the 70's. Its unique warm sound combined with the right effects makes it inspiring and fun to play."

video upload by Craig Padilla

"This was recorded during the making of the spacemusic album 'SOLINA' by Craig Padilla. This track didn't make it on the album. It's an improvised performance that was captured live on three cameras, performed on an ARP SE-IV Electronic Music Synthesizer using COLLIDER and LUNAR effects pedals by Source Audio which run through a long decaying looper plug-in called ElotTronix XL. Everything that you see and hear is 100% live in the moment without any overdubs."

Rossum Eletro-music Morphis
Strymon Starlab

11.03.2024 Mos-lab 2500


video upload by batchas

"I recorded on 2 tracks in the DAW. Track 1 is the output of filter 2 and track 2 is output of filter 1 (hihat sound made with noise).
I don't have a multiplier in the 2500. So to multiply the clock of the hihat I simply copied the hihat track in the DAW afterwards and shifted it a bit to make it a double of the main clock.
I send the output of the sequencer to a quantizer before going back into the matrix to control the CV of the 3 oscillators."

Dutch Modular Fest 2024 | Artistic Impression


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Dutch Modular Fest, Saturday August 31st, 2024
dB music facilties, Utrecht.

I wish DMF was every month, somewhere. But it's not. It's our Dutch annual event, celebrating the modular community and nearby manufacturers. I can't do interviews like DivKid and Mylar, and there's no 'best of show' except maybe all of them. Thanks to Allert Aalders (Sonar Traffic, Modulation) and Veerle Pennock (Acid Solder Club) for making this happen. And all the people who volunteered, participated, engineered, served and performed.

This video is sponsored by the Lab, with compliments."
