Overview

Special touch is a MIDI controller, designed with the intention of providing inspiration for the user through an unconventional interface. Some of the controls can be controlled by the operator (keys, buttons, knobs, sliders, etc.), and some cannot be (thermometer, microphone, etc). These features allow for a more organic, improvisational approach to the normally composed genre of electronic music.

The keys are laid out in a circle of fifths to encourage less standard chord structures and modulation. This layout also serves to keep the unit fresh and interesting to interact with, when compared with the standard piano layout.
