Seaboard RISE vs Seaboard BLOCK

- 🔥Best prices for Seaboard Block and Rise -

In this video I compare the Roli Seaboard Block with the Seaboard Rise. If you’re trying to decide which one to buy, this video may help you. I discuss the differences between the Seaboard Block and Seaboard Rise including the feel, price, controls, buttons, features, and included software and sounds. In this video I am using the Seaboard Rise 49 for the comparison. The Rise also comes in a 25 key version. Both the Seaboard Rise and Block make use of MIDI Polyphonic Expression which allows you to control sounds in magical ways. I demo some of the sounds and control of both keyboards in this video. This is a comparison of the Seaboard Block and Seaboard Rise.

just added this to my list of “instruments to buy once I’m rich”

The biggest difference for me is that you can't glide from one seaboard block to the next one attached. So even if you have three of them together you can't fully mimic the RISE.

I bought the Roli Seaboard 49 before Blocks was introduced and have really enjoyed playing it. Even if I were to buy Roli products today, I would still go with the Seaboard Rise 49. Main reason is standard keyboard far as key spacings, and also enjoy the long Slide bars which run on top and bottom along full length of the 49 keys.

Great demo and playing! I have the Rise 49 myself and it really makes you play expressive in a more intuitive way.

Thank you for sharing this. I just now got a ROLI Seaboard Rise 49, and finding out that they are hard to get now. But, adding great sound flexibility to my music compositions. 🎶

I just flashed the message right AWE!!!SOME!!! I want that rise!!! Thank you for this great show and tell, I just felt the sounds!

[donjackowski]

I just picked up a used Rise 49 recently, your site was “instrumental” in helping me finally dive into MPE. 😁Thinking about upgrading the Equator software version that it came with to Equator 2. Thanks for all you do!

On the seaboard block you can actually change presets by pressing the octave shift buttons in conjunction with the rectangular button on the left side.

Its amazing how many questions of mine you answered in just 7 minutes. Thank you really much for this review

I have had a Seaboard Rise 49 for a while and love it. Your videos on the Seaboard Block were a real influence on my grabbing one of those blocks as well. Two different animals. I find the Rise to be a little truer to a piano as the waves are basically standard sized. The block version is nice for noodling and setting on the extra space of a controller or my pianet for a bit of extra color. The block is great for brass and woodwind sounds since you can get little slips and slides that sound expressive and natural. The Rise I find more natural for strings and sitar sounds. Plus having 4 octaves makes it easier to play two handed. I have a few 2 octave controllers along with a couple 3 octave pieces of gear. I really need 3 octaves for two handed work but for lead lines and solos, the Seaboard Block helps to build ideas.

They may be similar but the differences really compliment each other a lot more than I thought they would.

Just got a seaboard block today and I love it played for 3 hours straight and it’s just so cool to play! Nothing like anything I’ve ever played before.

Wow!!!! So inspiring and what a difference a year makes with a lot of hard work! And you work so hard with your two jobs!😘

[chrisrdgymnastics]

tnx a lot bro...i think rise is compatible to my needs... looking forward to more tutorial from your vids in seaboard

[giovannipuliafito]

Good morning, I bought a Roli seaboard 49 four years ago, it has always worked well. Now, after a period of inactivity I have found that the touch faders do not respond to the swipe of the finger, they remain off! How can I solve? Hardware problem?
Thanks

[thetej]

Thank you bayya.. You cleared my almost doubts about seaboard.. Love you from andhra.. 😘

@Sanjay C
Hi. The presets(Equator?)are the same in the Rise and in the Blok, so 500vs200 presets?(one can expand the 200 presets for 79 dollars?) The sound possibilities of different instruments are the same in both the sistems is that right?

[joseramon]

From Minimoog to the future!. A great step!
