In this detailed walkthrough, the French innovators showcase how Soliste leverages real-time gesture control, advanced bowing customization, and nuanced articulation to deliver a new level of expressive performance. The video highlights not just the instrument’s sound engine but also its workflow, interface, and seamless integration with a wide range of MPE controllers. For those seeking to bridge the gap between digital flexibility and the tactile soul of acoustic strings, Soliste promises a compelling new toolset.
