Brooklyn EXPO 2026: Hop Tactile Instrument US
\nEasy to play \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a018\/10\/26<\/p>\n

Saima from Hop gave us a look at Tactile,\u00a0\u00a0an open-source standalone synth from Hop, developed from work in classrooms at Daniel’s Music Foundation, a nonprofit working with disabled musicians.<\/p>\n

Tactile is wireless, includes its own speaker and comes in light and dark colourways. The playing surface is pressure sensitive and has nine zones. The edges play a major scale, while the centre acts as a random sequencer. Additional areas control half-step bend, octave bend and a single-stage looper.<\/p>\n

Patch changes use physical texture pads, with each pad linking a tactile surface to a matching sound character, including smoother and more bit-crushed responses. Key cards transpose the instrument; it defaults to A and changes key when a card is inserted.<\/p>\n

Tactile is available from Hop’s website. A separate Tactile Sidekick is in prototype and adds CV and MIDI interfacing for Eurorack and controller use.<\/p>\n
