Jordan is the ideal instrument demonstrator in my opinion - he's got the technical facility, the musical knowledge and that deep interest and skillset with many instrument technologies, plus he loves technology and isn't wedded to traditions.

It does require real finger accuracy and consistent pressure to maintain notes, so it isn’t relaxing to play. It’s very different from a traditional keyboard. If you want a traditional keyboard, this isn’t for you. If you only want to squish notes around, go for it, it does that well.

The music in the first part kept me thinking about Spongebob.

You can do it in time man, but it would probably take 5 years. I bet after two years constant practice you would feel leaps & bounds from where you were. That said, I'm sort of interested in the other MPE devices because they're not anything like a piano so you don't have to learn piano in order to use the Roli. If you know the piano, the Roli will fit right in, but if you don't, it could be years before you get to the Roli because you'll be doing all your work on a piano or piano-based MIDI controller. So the Roli has an irritating barrier to entry. If I got the Linnstrument instead, I don't have to go first learn something else in order to make use of the Linnstrument...you just dig in, like eating a head of cabbage.

@Andrei James I tried that as well, but I can figure out sounds from chords and so on more easily on the guitar. The keyboard and DAW are very slow. Plus, I'm usually using the guitar for pure enjoyment when the epic bangers start showing up in the playing...which then I start to suss out the details for the DAW and other parts. The whole thing is an art form and everyone has a different approach.

The value of his talent is so much greater than that of his instrument. #Salute

I love this. I'd buy one for myself but I know it would take me decades of hard work to wring beautiful sounds out of it like Jordan and I don't have decades.

That guitar synth is incredible.

Lovely version of 'This Loneliness' to start off with. It sounds beautiful

One of my absolute dream instruments! Since also growing up with jazz along with Indian classical music, the amount of microtonal expressions i can get out of this, having some playing experience with piano, i can't wait for this. Right now i have some 30 key midi controller, FP-10 as my main digital piano, Arturia MicroFreak & Korg Monologue. Having something like this in my array of gears will be even better. I equally love Haken Continuum Fingerboard as well. So idk which one i'd rather end up with. Now the new Expressive E Osmose too seems to have just as much microtonal capabilities. The choices are just amazing to choose from.

Got my Seaboard today - have to watch your video .. again .. and again .. a few times - Thank you :-)

Jordan you are such an excellent muso. So jealous of your jazz chords. :)

Roli is just killing it

this one is amazing!!

Awesome Design! MIDI Controllers(And other messages) can be sent to individual MIDI channel according to the Starting Keys.

This guy is just the god of keyboards. Not more - not less! Awesome! And ROLI seems to be made for this god! ^^

Ever since I got my ROLI Seaboard Rise 49, gave me the opportunity to expand my creativity with my music. 🎶

A while ago, Gisele asked "How does it handle ragtime and boogie? Large block chords?" I thought I'd repeat my late reply as food for thought. I said... "It" (i.e. the actual hardware) handles it as well as any other digital keyboard in the sense that it generates MIDI data for whatever keys you press PLUS other data to describe how every INDIVIDUAL key is being modified by pitch bends, after touch, etc. Unless you're using Equator, the included Roli software, your synth software may not handle the modifier data well since the original MIDI protocol--and most if not all 3rd party software written to support it--was designed to handle modifier data as a global effect, not for individual keys. (Side note: many of the great demo's online use third party software so don't assume you'll have the same sounds with Equator!) For instance, Kontakt (pardon me if I'm not up on the most recent version) would traditionally be set up to have one instance of a software synth for a keyboard with a typical pitch bend control and the synth would apply any pitch bend data to every note pressed. That's not what most people want with a seaboard. So, with Kontakt, you have to create as many instances of the software synth as the number of keys you plan to press at a time. Once configured, the data for, say, three keys being pressed is split up and sent to the first three instances of the synth, one key per instance. So, each synth instance handles the modifier data (e.g. pitch bend) for only one key. The setup can be painful if you don't like that sort of thing; however, it does work and you can save the setups as presets. Lastly, when I first played my seaboard, I immediately realized that the beautiful surface design, which enables all the expressiveness, is a double edged sword. For instance, the centers of the keys are spaced in a standard manner but the flat tops of the keys are narrower because space is taken up by the valleys in between them. Thus, your fingers are aiming at a narrower target when you play anything that involves large jumps like a stride bass. It's very easy to land in a valley or unintentionally trigger a key modifier like pitch bend as a finger rolls off the corner of a key. Similarly, if you were really stretching you fingers to reach large block chords, you could easily unintentionally cause pitch bends or after touch effects. You can turn such effects off but then you're defeating the purpose of the seaboard and you will be left with a standard keyboard that has narrow key tops!

What I'm seeing now is the evolution of music itself. I can only imagine what music in the future would be like.

Very impressive

Very cool. Sounds amazing. Can you use this to bend the pitch of major thirds to get just intonation on a keyboard?

The seaboard changed my life.
