Namaste
Whoa, screaming cats!
Err…didn’t even play vid yet, still finishing my ommmmmmmm. OK back to the seaboard…
What’s with these dickish comments? This was a site for musicians, not a country club.
Lighten up, Francis!
…That’s actually quite cool man (exhaling odorous smoke).
Interesting product but these “guru style” demo don’t help me to visualise the instrument in my hands.
Next time a simple table and just the hands of the user please…(not the feet) And another thing… he talks about the “foot controller” but in that “guru” position no musician can demo that function… its nonsense and been on the floor is ridiculous.
But he totally *can* demo a foot controller in this position: https://youtu.be/mEX_4LJdAIw?t=28s
i dont think the intention here is to help you visualize the instrument in your hands
shocking, i know…
this is how we sit in germany. this is how we roll. we love carpets and antique style wooden furniture. i am still waiting for comments on hair style, though.
but anyway, the demo is profound and informative. camera shows all the details i need to see. isn’t this the point?
I have played in Germany and it’s all true.
every upcoming hard/software should have a roli seaboard midi mode!
Dude takes time out of his day and all you guys can do is take shots at how you would prefer him to do a demo for you in his spare time in a different way.
So entitled guys
I thought that was a really informative video – and whilst I’m familiar with the Seaboard, I learnt a few interesting things as to how it works with other synths like he Blofeld and the Matrix 1000. I’d never heard of that Guitar-Synth mode. Kudos to Marius for taking the time to make this, share it with us, and some cool music too 😀
Yes, nice touch, very good and informative, need to see more hardware setups with MPE controllers.
The coolest feature by far is the ‘timetravel to sixties DDR germany’ function, impressive.
Everyone buy one so this man can get himself a table…
maybe 1 out of 100 synthtopia-posts where someone can actually play an instrument and you guys pick on him because of his way of setting up his stuff? wow…
Outro demo was pretty cool. Overall this was very well done and informative.
