about us

Expressive E’s mission is to create instruments that allow musicians to express the full depth of their emotions through accurate, intuitive and nuanced control of their sounds. Unlike traditional synthesizers, which often offer limited expressiveness, Expressive E's products are designed to respond to the natural gestures of musicians, whether it be pressure, movement, or touch. Each instrument is designed to easily adjust to each musician’s sensitivity, making expressivity an easy-to-learn and natural skill for musicians of all backgrounds and proficiency.

Expressive E is one of the few expert companies mastering MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression), a musical protocol that allows each note played to be individually modulated by gestures. Expressive E’s main focus is to make this wonderful technology easier to use, ergonomical and fun for all musicians worldwide. MPE has indeed opened up new possibilities for all musicians/genres including film & video games scores, production, & live performances. Ultimately, Expressive E’s vision of MPE allows more emotion… and less programming!

Modern craftsmanship is at the core of every Expressive E product. All instruments rely on complex sound models, engine and programming but were ultimately designed to feel as straightforward and organic as traditional acoustic instruments. Expressive E’s high standards revolve around top-quality materials, high sustainability index, easy maintenance & long-run support of their products.
