Trails

Polyphonic Touch Controller

Trails is a four-channel X/Y/Gate controller that turns touch into musical signals. With a large illuminated capacitive touchpad and slider, it lets you draw modulation and sequence paths by hand, capturing the nuance of gesture and translating it into evolving patterns of voltage.

Designed for musical performance, Trails enables the creation of interwoven melodic lines, layered rhythmic structures, and slowly phasing signals that drift against each other in musically meaningful ways. Transform and manipulate the paths you have drawn to create gradually changing control signals and interleaved harmonies.
