Alongside the Osmose, the company makes the Touché and Touché SE, tactile expression controllers designed to add gestural articulation to hardware and software synths. On the software side, Expressive E produces MPE-oriented soft synths and plugin suites including Noisy 2, Soliste, the Kontrast Expressive Suite, the Lounge Lizard Expressive Suite, and the Dune 3 Expressive Suite. The brand has drawn public endorsements from composers and electronic musicians such as Hans Zimmer, Jean-Michel Jarre, and A.R. Rahman, and has built a following among sound designers and keyboardists looking for more physically expressive control over digital sound.

Expressive E has 21 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Virtual Instrument, Synthesizers, and Synth Plugins. Their gear is featured by 31 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Pop, and Classical. Notable users include Andrew Huang, Hans Zimmer, and The Real Mike Dean. Most Expressive E products fall in the mid-tier range — professional-grade without flagship pricing.
