Product Description

The Seaboard GRAND is like no other keyboard your have seen or played before. Taking keyboard playing to a brand new level, ROLI's innovative design opens the door to tactile control of other parameters in an intuitive way offering players a new way to perform

A New Playing Experience

We are by no ways saying that the Piano as we know it is now had it's day. There will always be a place for the concert grand piano, but for the modern keyboard player, the Seaboard GRAND offers intuitive control and expression that keyboard controllers could only dream of. Doing away with the pitch bend control and mod wheel, the Seaboard GRAND allows you to bend pitches and intensify your performance with the touch of your fingers allowing for much more expressive control.

Play Instruments How They Should Be Played

Ever loaded up a patch that's sampled from a real acoustic instrument, like a violin, bass guitar or saxophone and then been disappointed when despite having the most expensive samples on the market, it still doesn't quite sound like the real thing. This is because the mechanics of playing a string, or wind instrument is so far removed from playing the piano that the nuances often give the game away. Controls of intensity, vibrato, pitch slides and simply moving smoothly between notes becomes hard because at it's heart the piano is a percussive instrument; and Mod wheels only go so far!

This is where the Seaboard GRAND is so amazing. It's advanced control allows you to play like a sax player or bassist with a range of aftertouch gestures, that intuitively convert that experience onto a keyboard framework. You can still play the Seaboard like a piano when you've got that classic EP patch loaded, but with these other instruments and of course modern electronic patches you can open up a whole new expressive world that responds while you play. This gives results that before would have had to be created clumsily with automation and other after performance tweaking that would take way longer to achieve.

Bitwig Studio

Roli devices now come with a copy of bitwig 8-track, a trim and effective digital audio workstation to start producing, performing, and designing sounds like a pro. 8-Track includes the entire collection of Bitwig Studio devices for use on up to eight project tracks with audio or MIDI.

Bitwig 8-Track is the sketch pad for your musical ideas featuring the acclaimed workflow of  Bitwig Studio.

Here's what ROLI Say about the Seaboard GRAND

The Seaboard GRAND is a radically new musical instrument that reimagines the traditional keyboard. The Seaboard GRAND features gloriously tactile silicon keywaves that allow you to utilise your muscle memory and keyboard knowledge to play like any other keyboard instrument and also so much more. With the unique key wave material and patented sensor technology you can now achieve not only just aftertouch, but continuous touch, individual note pitch bend and per note vibrato â€" all at your fingertips!

The Seaboard GRAND stage is ideal for recreating real life instruments. Giving you the ability to add natural sounding nuances to your playing like never before. It is also an ideal instrument for sculpting new synthesised sounds. Use it standalone and enjoy the embedded on board sounds or connect a computer and have the ability to edit those sounds via the included Equator software, or use the GRAND as a controller with our software, the included FXpansion SynthSquad or your favourite DAW, plug in or soft synth. Ideal for live performers, producers, composers, sound designers and the musically creative!

Es un teclado completamente distinto a cualquier otro. Sólo le veo como pega los sonidos incluidos por defecto en el teclado, aunque teóricamente se pueden descargar más sonidos los cuales tendré que probar.
