Joué Pro // Essential Bundle

Explore your full creativity with the Joué Pro, the expressive, modular, MPE-compatible MIDI controller that reacts like a real instrument. With Joué Pro, you don’t have to be an expert or have any musical background to start creating music. Just place an instrument pad on the board and enjoy creating a beat, a melody, or playing chords freely. The Joué Pro Essential Bundle includes the Joué Pro board along with interchangeable instrument pads that instantly transform it into a keyboard, fretboard, or an effects controller.

With Joué Pro, you can gather all your controllers into one device that will always be on hand and easily slip it into your backpack when you're ready to hit the road. Simply connect the Joué Pro board to your device via USB-C cable, place a flexible Pro Pad on the board, and you're ready to record. RFID auto-recognition means the pads are automatically recognized in real time so you're ready to rock immediately.

The Joué Pro board is super sensitive and captures all the gestures practiced on traditional instruments, including vibrato, glissando, velocity, and more. This enables a level of musical expressiveness rarely heard of in digital music! The addition of built-in magnets allows you move around freely in your studio or on stage.

Control any effects with the Pro Area Pad. Slide your finger on its surface to modulate up to 3 parameters simultaneously. The Pad sends X and Y position values as well as Z pressure values through MIDI Control Change.

Rediscover the feeling of traditional string instruments with the Pro Fretboard Pad thanks to its vibrato and bending sensitivity, which can be disabled according to your needs. It is composed of 6 strings and 9 frets as well as + / - octave buttons and 2 other configurable buttons. Strings can be configured as a group or individually.

The Pro Matrix Pad is a 4 x 4 pad perfect for playing drums, percussions, melodies or for launching clips. Pads can be configured in groups or individually. With the Pro Strips Pad, you can slide your fingers along the 4 tactile strips to control any settings. They are delimited by markers for direct access to the min, mid, and max values. Pro Strips can be used horizontally or vertically.

The Pro Scaler Pad is composed of 17 keys perfectly designed for playing harp, xylophone, or synth leads. A variety of pre-configured scales are available to play instantly. Keys are sensitive to velocity, vibrato, aftertouch, as well as Y-control, a bubble, and a long ribbon.

Configure the Pro Pads with the Joué Editor and easily tune every MIDI message sent by the Pads such as MIDI channel, note number, control change, pitch bend range, and velocity range. The Joué Pro has MPE compatibility (MIDI Polyphonic Expression), which enables multidimensional controllers to control multiple parameters of every note within MPE-compatible softwares. In normal MIDI, Channel-wide messages (such as Pitch Bend) are applied to all notes being played on a single MIDI Channel. In MPE, each note is assigned its own MIDI Channel so that those messages can be applied to each note individually.

Joué Pro is compatible with your favorite music software including Ableton Live, Reason Studios, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Bitwig, PreSonus Studio One, and more. It's also compatible with the free Joué app for your smartphone, tablet or computer (iOS, MacOS & Windows). Choose a sound, change the tempo, record loops, share a song—everything is accessible from the main screen.
