Introducing the ROLI Seaboard GRAND
Posted on Thu 09 July 2015 in entries
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 – 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!
