Now that is sexy
Not bad..... still 800$...... but you're right. I would prefer this over a 32GB iPad Pro
Nice, but only to octaves. I have an 25 keys controler and I hate it.
Have any of you played one of these? I have to say I was underwhelmed
I have no idea what to do with the left right movement that is interesting (pitchbend is kind of boring) , and I'm not interested in polyphonic finger vibrato ...
Looks awesome! But $800 is a lot of money for a 2 octave keyboard. You can get an Akai Advance with 61 keys for $200 less.
The aspect I found intriguing was the smooth piano key control surface - seems to me that it could facilitate modulation and other control parameters easier than on a regular keyboard.
That's the whole point of it, you need an app that can take advantage of it's capabilities. It has x,y, & z axis control. A perfect companion is the Kyma synth system but that in itself is in the thousands of $$$ to purchase.
Not even remotely similar except they both have 2 octaves. This keyboard isn't for regular playing techniques. Most people that own a Roli/continuum also have regular keyboards too
Here's a good example of it's use (this isn't a Roli but the same type of thing)
Here's a more musical example, highlighting the x&z bends and how they can humanize a synth to sound more organic (again not Roli but the same idea)
Also key with all these controllers is that the pitchbend and mod is per note and not global like a traditional midi controller
Been looking for a really nice Hammer Action Graded 88 key keyboard that works with my iPad apps and saw these in 61 and 88 as well, high price range, a bit above what I want to spend and certainly not hammer action. Look super cool and have great features. The techno (not the music) geek in me is very interested, but I'd need to try one before I'd buy it. Not sure I'd like the feel, all the keyboards I've spent significant time on were attached to a real piano. Has anyone tried one of these? Looks a bit like playing a rubber coated sponge...
what material is it of? how long it will 'stay' under fingers full of grease and acidic stuff?
Would make great iPad controller keyboard.. Also the Harken Continuum.
Well, as far as I'm concerned, we don't need a seaboard rise but an iPad Pro. :-) To each his own etc.
A midi controller that needs 4gb ram minimun.Dont think this gonna work in combination with the iPad.
I'm pretty sure the computer specs were for the Equator synth it ships with, but I think you knew that
As for iOS apps that support the multi polyphonic expression techniques this thing (and Linnstrument, Continuum, etc) can put out, there are several available and hopefully the numbers are growing. ThumbJam, DrumJam, Arctic Pro, PPG apps, Samplewiz, iFretless apps (pretty sure), Animoog should soon. I'm sure I've missed a few.
I'm unsure about all these controllers. Swiping up and down on the keys makes complete sense to me.
But left/right for pitchbend I find quite irritating. Maybe it makes more sense if you are coming from a fratless instrument...
Yes, it is the most similar to how you do vibrato or gliding on fretless instruments. I can see an argument that guitar players may want to have a mode where you do bends or vibrato on these things using the other axis, it could be an interesting experiment.
I'm coming from a piano, but swiping up down for any kind of expression makes complete sense to me.
left right I need a stable pitch so I can't do to much nonsense, lol
I can't play the violin.
guitar is the same move hand left right to get this pitch, (bend notes by pulling the strings up down..)
I imagine these rubbery surfaces feeling... kind of icky. I'm sure they are amazing but something about the texture turns me off from looking at the videos ;-b I like glass. I mean, for the same price I can get a HUGE ipad
OK, got that out of my system. Truth is I love any expressive controller. I can't wait to see more iOS instruments support this type of stuff.
I was interested in the linnstrument too, but he ended up with that Guitar grid I don't like. He had such nice alternative layouts, double layer organ like keys ...meh
iPad Pro will be eating this. Soon. That hardware manufacturer will be running scared now. Pressure sensitive keyboard apps on a big screen iPad. Hmm. I expect a drop in price of Mr Seaboard Rise. Just my two cents.
3d touch on iPads will be killer.
I don't think 3D touch really is what we would like it to be. I hope I'm wrong, though.
As far as I understand it it's one finger @ a time only, except I didn't hear the bang?
but who knows what else they have got in that bag
Anyway this is large step up ...
I think you guys are massively overestimating the control of 3d touch and massively underestimating the level of nuance these controllers give. It's like comparing an omnichord to an acoustic guitar
Just looked up 3d touch, it has 2 levels of sensitivity.
This Roli keyboard sends continuos note data on 10 channels of midi. 1 channel per finger. It detects key down, key press, key up, key movement on the x axis, and key movement on the y axis. All continuosly.
3d touch has a looong way to go to match this. Maybe in 2-3 years.. Maybe
(let's hope, would be awesome)
Have to agree on the playability of the iPad. This thing actually moves under your finger, which to me is a plus for feel. Looks interesting. Not a keyboard player, and I'd have to agree, needs another octave or two. But it sure looks fun.
