MIDI Innovation Awards 2023 crows Exquis as « Commercial Hardware Product of the Year ».
We are thrilled to announce Exquis, our hex-key MPE controller has been crows as the Commercial Hardware product of the year at the MIDI Innovation Awards!
Exquis is an MPE + CV controller and an app. Together they form a new electronic instrument: expressive, intuitive and modular, for music beginners as well as professionals.
Winner of the prestigious MIDI Innovation Awards 2023
On Saturday, September 16, 2023, Intuitive Instruments Exquis achieved a momentous feat by clinching the prestigious MIDI Innovation Award in the coveted “Commercial Hardware Products” category. This international recognition is a moment of immense pride for the music technology industry, and this year it celebrates the result of 15 years of work by the Intuitive Instruments team in designing intuitive and expressive instruments.
A Jury of luminaries celebrating innovation and audacity
This 2023 edition of the MIDI Innovation Awards was judged by an all-star jury composed of Roger Linn, Nina Richards, Bian Liunian, Pedro Eustache, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Michele Darling.
The jury has emphasized the expressive capabilities of Exquis’ keys, recognizing this as the future of electronic musical instruments.
Also, underscoring Exquis’ audacious and distinctive hexagonal keyboard, Roger Linn highlighted Intuitive Instruments’ effort to offer an alternative keyboard to that of the piano, arguing that, just like with his LinnStrument, he too seeks to demonstrate that the piano keyboard is not the best interface for playing expressive music and that it is necessary to shake things up.
A word from Bruno Verbrugghe, Intuitive Instruments CEO
«We are truly honored to receive this esteemed award,» said Bruno Verbrugghe. «Exquis represents a culmination of creativity, technology, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of musical expression. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the MIDI Innovation Awards panel and the entire music community for their continued support. I also want to express my gratitude to my entire team for their dedication in overcoming challenges to provide musicians with the best possible playing experience.»
An already successful pre-order campaign
Following a successful crowdfunding campaign on the Kickstarter platform in October 2022, which raised €160k in just one month, the pre-order campaign currently underway has already garnered the support of over a thousand individuals.
The optimal moment to pre-order Exquis is now - deliveries commence in November
As the Exquis delivery date in November draws nearer, the pre-order price will increase at the beginning of each month, eventually reaching its final price of €299 including taxes ($299 USD). Therefore, there are only a few days left to pre-order Exquis on the dualo.com website at the best available price and this opportunity will not be available again.
Thank you to all who have made this possible :-) We are so impatient to deliver Exquis!
