NAMM 2016 - ROLI Seaboard Rise 49

ROLI seem to have got it right with the new Seaboard RISE format, the 25 key version brought their multi-dimensional polyphonic expression into a more affordable price bracket compared to their flagship Seaboard Grand.

At this NAMM they have introduced a 49 key version, giving you more octaves to play with. For the full skinny on the Seaboard Rise, check this news item.

This, the Haken Continuum and Linnstrument are the most exciting input performance devices!

when i watched the first 6mins i was like "damn" but when i heard the demo i was like "DAAAYUM"

[atranimecs]

HAHAHA the long pause after he tells him the price < HAHAHHAA

[discotechwreck]

I can't wait to get my hands on this

[vancitycanucks]

Did anyone else not get 100 extra presets in Equator during the latest update?

[DFreezerecords]

AMAZING KEYBOARD! Really worth the price!!

[BitwigCraft]

So keyboards are getting what guitar strings are already doing since a long time :)) Great product but wow it has a price.

[neilloughran]

Is there really any reason to buy the bigger more expensive models now? Seems like a 61 note will come eventually I think...

[wcm]

Why didn't you ask him WHY the the sensors are different?

[mattsynth]

I was wondering if all of these touch expression will work on any VST plugin. I can see the volume, pitch bend, modulation and any CC being controlled but I believe a pitch slide would have to be a dedicated plugin.

So all those sounds he was playing coming with the keyboard?? The orchestra was good

[troublesomecorsair]

What's with the USB ports? There's a Type A and a Type B. Usually there's only one Type B, so what's the other port for? Could it be used as a MIDI/USB thru?

[gatlinproduction]

What The Hell Is going into that Macbook Pro On The Side Hook Up? What kinda of Connection is That? Can someone tell me?

[spaziojobim]

Don't look at the price if you don't want a heartache.

[beefdlo]

I played with the 25 and wasn't all that impressed - trying to slide from one note to another and the little cushion keys end up getting dragged about. Maybe if I covered it with wd40 it would work a lot better? lol

[philperry]

You only get one year warranty.For that much money I expect at least 2.

[clairesmith]

what a shame about the mono tone boring guy presenting it

[yrussq]

It would not fly as all other "innovative" new keyboards. People who have ever felt the real thing would never stick their fingers into silicone ;D

Normal keyboards with two additional pressure sensitive axis aftertouch would be popular - not such "innovative" pricey things..

[beatchef]

I much prefer the Haken Continuum's engine and use of the neoprene board instead of this weird gearstick material but it was always going to be about who could mass produce and reduce the price first thereby 'capturing the imagination' of people's wallets.
