Intuitive Instruments - Exquis Deluxe (Grey Alu)

Exquis by Intuitive Instruments — Hexagonal Harmony-Controller. Explore new Paths. Deluxe Edition.

The Exquis keyboard breaks free from traditional piano design with 61 hexagonal keys that transform musical relationships into visual geometry. Horizontal movements across these touch-sensitive pads represent semitones, while vertical steps reveal thirds - suddenly common scales become illuminated paths and chords turn into elegant shapes you can actually see.

Each hexagonal key reads three movements: sideways tilt bends pitch, upward tilt sends CC messages, and pressure controls aftertouch. The keyboard speaks both MPE and polyphonic aftertouch languages, making it especially interesting to pair with any modern synths that support this new standard. Four encoders with clicking action, a smooth touch slider split into six zones, and ten tactile buttons provide the hands-on control you'd expect from a well-designed instrument.

Exquis connects seamlessly through USB-C, MIDI, or CV - ready to talk to your DAW, hardware synths, or modular system. The illuminated keys reveal musical relationships through colored pathways that guide your playing. It's an approach that makes harmony tangible without forcing you into conventional patterns.

The Deluxe edition comes with special custom side-panels and a fabric protective pouch.
