In this video I show you how to setup the Roli Seaboard Block or Lightpad Block with Native Instruments Kontakt. Specifically, I show how to adjust pitch bend properly to obtain a vibrato sound with the Seaboard and the String Ensemble instrument AND how to use slide and press (after touch) to control the choir sound in the Kontakt Library.
You can use these same steps to map other parameters or controls in Kontakt with the Seaboards five dimensions of touch.

    After making the leap of faith and purchasing the Symphobia Library from ProjectSAM, and then realizing I needed to also purchase Kontakt in order for me to customize the different controls for the Seabaord... I’m completely lost on what to do. Everything I’ve seen or read online for the setup, hasn’t been fully explained properly. Finally! Not only did you provide the most thorough video on the setup, but you also included your saved .nki files! I’ve been looking for a downloadable file/script forever! Thank you!

    Note that you can actually get higher pitch bend range than 12 in kontakt by simply adding additional pitch bend modulators. Two modulators with 12 note bend will be 24 total etc.

    Awesome Sanjay..you've answered some of the questions I had..If you had a choice between the Expressive E Touche and the seaboard....which device do you think would be most useful for all these kind of vibrato type effects as you've used them here? (I'm currently using an old 88 key Klavinova as a midi keyboard...but it has no built in pitch wheel or modulation...so wondering whether these devices could actually complement it well...) Thanks!

    Does anyone know someone who knows Ableton MIDI Remote Scripts well? I know how to make them, but the API isn't particularly well documented. I've had an idea on how to get the seaboard and light pad's MPE record and played back successfully by Live with the use of a single midi track, an M4L midi effect and a custom control surface.

My favorite library is Cinestrings core, all Cinestrings. Lumina, Novo, Rhapsody percussion, Aeris choir's. Also Philarmonik 2, Bigbang, for piano addective keys, and Arturia's all libraryes. These are all I have. But my laptop can not cope 😣 also I have just 10 gb free 😃. What do you say is a good choice?

    I used the session libraries in my cinematic video, although I didn't use the Seaboard to play those sounds. The session libraries are more for programming/sequencing. So they are not so playable. I wouldn't use the Seaboard to control them. HOWEVER...I'm still learning too, so I may change my mind ;-)
