Follow along my first day with an MPE MIDI Controller, the Joué Play. Learn what this MPE / Midi Polyphonic Expressions controller is all about. We try out various MPE compatible plugins like Phase Plant, Logic Pro Alchemy. I also had to try the Joué out with Omnisphere 2 although it's not directly MPE compatible (quick workaround is to direct all midi channels to channel 1 (with Logic scripter) If you want I can show how to do this in another tutorial. There's a FAQ at the end of the video where I answer some common questions regarding the Joué and MPE controllers in general. Let me know if you would you like to see more content with MPE instruments?
Thank you Mattias, I’m interested in getting an MPE controller, a bit confused between Erae Touch and Joué -obviously the cost variation- guess I’ll go for Joué after all!
Hi, nope joue is a midi controller and required a compatible device with sound generators (like computer / iPad with daw or plugin instruments). They also have some instruments available via web browser app.
I’d love a Linnstrument or a Roli. Osmose is very interesting, but I don’t like the synth engine (so really don’t want to pay for it - just give me a controller version).
Hi, yeah the Joue is very fun little instrument. Oh I just tried all the links. They should work and you will arrive at a Joue page with a discount code to get the €15 OFF code. The link takes a few secs to direct.
@@MattiasHolmgren Thanks for checking. The links work and i get the redirect with the code, but the code applied at checkout doesn't seem to work. I also found another affiliate code and tried that, which also didn't work, so i think it's probably an issue with their website. If/when the time comes and i decide to buy and it still doesn't work, i'll let them know (using your link ;-)
I just learned from Joue that The discount code (at the affiliate link) is ONLY for the Joue Pro Fire Edition - Full board (4 pads)! Apparently its not a store wide discount… hope the info helps.
@@MattiasHolmgren Thanks for following up. I was trying to apply discount to the water edition, since i liked the blue color more. Weird that they wouldn't treat these the same, so i might follow up with them, but at least we know what the issue was. Thanks again!
If you buy the fire edition / water edition it comes with usb cable, check at Thomann. No Midi cable / adapter though. But adapter from usb-c to type A, and usb-c to lightning (for iPad/iPhone device connection).
@@MattiasHolmgren Yes, no midi cable. I hope they will bring it in stock soon. Also the usb cable it comes with it is not so great. I had serious connection problems with it. Once i replaced it with a better one all problems gone
Nice video thank you. I would like to point out that in French jouir and jouer have VASTLY different meanings. Therefore every time you say "joui" instead of "joué"... I smiled a wee bit too wide :D Bien joué, donc!
Yeah that seems to be a big sweat instrument. Esp with the bundled software Equator 2. Joue is very portable MPE controller and comes with an iPad app, that’s its strength I guess. 🎉🐣☕️
@@MattiasHolmgren I can see the small form factor finding an audience, I know Roli struggled to fill that market, though I suspect that was due to the price and likely lack of margin.
A bit useless lot of information. You have to have connectors to connect, no mention, you have to download sofwear, no mention, no usefull addresses to use the instrument, nothing except video images. Nice but it doesn`t help anyone. Oh your not here to help, I see. Oh yes there is a help address but it only to make your commission, I feel sick.
@aloevoice thanks. Yes majority of visitors think so. Some just like to troll, or does not grasp the target audience. I often do light breakdowns, but also super deep videos. I’m very much into tech. 😄🤘☕️
@@MattiasHolmgren I actually bought the set via your link, but the discount code didn't work, guess it's expired, but hope you still get some commission. I wasn't sure about polyphonic, but after your video I think I might want both options - a regular low budget midi controller and this more expansive gadget
Joue Music is unfortunately out of business, so you can’t get a new Joue play set anymore. 😢🎹
@@MattiasHolmgren sad. Immediately went to eBay 1 available there
@@psiked Turkish distributor has stock locally. I bought one with a very low price. 55 Euros. It is with grand piano overlay.
The discount code (at the affiliate link) is ONLY for the Joue Pro Fire Edition - Full board (4 pads)! 🎉
what software are you using with it?
Logic Pro and Bitwig mostly, and Omnisphere vsti or some other synths like Zebra 2.

The most important aspect would be to record and then see what you get in a daw. Any lag time?

Can this be used with the 1010blackbox as a Standard Controller?
Yes, but the Joue is not sold anymore. Unfortunately. they went out of business.
Thank you Mattias, I’m interested in getting an MPE controller, a bit confused between Erae Touch and Joué -obviously the cost variation- guess I’ll go for Joué after all!
Yeah Joué is obviously the cheaper choice but still a very sweet controller package. We're having tons of fun with it in the studio! 🍿🔥
Exquis?
It looks great. Still, a little expensive comparing to some midi-instruments. Although.. that is just my opinion. Thanks Mattias. Again a great video.
Thanks Upplysta, everything is relative. Glad u enjoy my Joue clip! 😉🥳🥁💎
Can we use this independent of computer as an instrument?
Hi, nope joue is a midi controller and required a compatible device with sound generators (like computer / iPad with daw or plugin instruments). They also have some instruments available via web browser app.
What an invention!. How far will technology go
no info about how hard you have to puch to get a signal
Very hard to explain. But not much pressure.
I’d love a Linnstrument or a Roli.
Osmose is very interesting, but I don’t like the synth engine (so really don’t want to pay for it - just give me a controller version).
Hi Mattias, thanks for the video. This looks super cool. Tried using your affiliate link though, and doesn't seem to be working.

I will give it a try and contact Joue about it. 🥁🍿

Just to make one thing clear: It does not come with the MIDI cable, that is an extra and at the moment out of stock.

😂 lovely
good!!
Thanks Jair 🙏💎🥁😄
Just found this, went to buy the product, looks like they are now going out of business?! WTF :(
Yeah I also just heard. Very sad, it was a very cool product. But product business is harsh these days if you’re not Nvidia.
Seems very similar to Sensel.Morph.
Who knows with other, but the company is technology because sensei no longer exist
Not even close.
The accent aigout tells you it’s pronounced “joo aiy”
Cool👌😄

Dunno what that even means 🤷♂️🥳
Just get a roli...
Yeah that seems to be a big sweat instrument. Esp with the bundled software Equator 2. Joue is very portable MPE controller and comes with an iPad app, that’s its strength I guess. 🎉🐣☕️
@@MattiasHolmgren I can see the small form factor finding an audience, I know Roli struggled to fill that market, though I suspect that was due to the price and likely lack of margin.
Would prefer just to have separate units that don't risk getting sticky, gross, worn out, etc etc.

@@MattiasHolmgren There`s as much information in your reply "meet" as there is in the video, incomprehensible.
For beginners this is helpful
