After making the leap of faith and purchasing the Symphobia Library from ProjectSAM, and then realizing I needed to also purchase Kontakt in order for me to customize the different controls for the Seabaord... I’m completely lost on what to do. Everything I’ve seen or read online for the setup, hasn’t been fully explained properly. Finally! Not only did you provide the most thorough video on the setup, but you also included your saved .nki files! I’ve been looking for a downloadable file/script forever! Thank you!
@@ericclement1598 yep! I have them both, but unfortunately my setup is in storage at the moment so I cannot check for ya *BUT* - you _should_ be able to control velocity and articulation. These libraries are *extremely* customizable. Good luck!
Note that you can actually get higher pitch bend range than 12 in kontakt by simply adding additional pitch bend modulators. Two modulators with 12 note bend will be 24 total etc.
is this still supported? I'm using Kontakt 6 and not seeing the spanner icon to access the options. it would be great to use the seaboard with instruments like NI symphony brass ensemble. cheers
When I make these adjustments and save the instrument settings the pitch bend to 12 never stays at 12z anytime I reopen my preset for an instrument the pitch bend setting is always back to its default setting. Any clue why it would do that?
Hey Sanjay, nice video. I have a roli seablock with BBC spitfire orchestra in Ableton Live 11 Suite. How can I map this properly? Now my block just plays the notes but I would like to map expression into press and dynamics to slide for example.. no luck so far.
Hey, you did a very amazing job! I have the roli seaboard rise49 and I just want to know if it is essential to buy a speaker for the seaboard?.Or did you need the speaker for the seaboard to make the volume loud?. Mine, I can barely hear the sound from the garageband. Please help me thanksss.
Awesome Sanjay..you've answered some of the questions I had..If you had a choice between the Expressive E Touche and the seaboard....which device do you think would be most useful for all these kind of vibrato type effects as you've used them here? (I'm currently using an old 88 key Klavinova as a midi keyboard...but it has no built in pitch wheel or modulation...so wondering whether these devices could actually complement it well...) Thanks!
Hi Sanjay, can u please explain, how to configure Geoshred running on iPad connecting to Ableton Live on Desktop to control SWAM violin(running on desktop)
Thanks Sanjay and yea ive been looking for ways to keep this kontakt setting for roli default on all kontakt instruments..so far it doesnt seem to exist..let me know if you come across it at a point...

Hi Sanjay! thank you so much for your videos! I tried to do what you said but in my dashboard there's no checkbox for MPE. There's a selection bar and I've to select between MPE, multichannel or singlechannel. What do I do? thx again!
I saw you have the Signal Engine by Output Instruments. Have you been able to use the seaboard block with any of the Output libraries? they dont give me the wrench icon. Only the gears.
Hey Sanjay! Thanks for you videos. Anyway to get this seaboard to work with Maschine? Wondering if there is a way to bypass the fact that maschine isn't set up for MPE
@@SanjayC awesome thank you! So just to be clear, all of the mpe features of the seaboard can be recorded in maschine if i set it to single channel? Heard people having issues with maschine compatibility and can't find much info
I can't seem to get mine to work, idk if it's an FLstudio issue or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I set it up the same as you did in the video or atleast I believe I did but nothing gets automated
I used the session libraries in my cinematic video, although I didn't use the Seaboard to play those sounds. The session libraries are more for programming/sequencing. So they are not so playable. I wouldn't use the Seaboard to control them. HOWEVER...I'm still learning too, so I may change my mind ;-)
I see. There are so many good libraries in the Komplete Ultimate package, was hoping the Seaboard would work better with it - at least Equator has some really good sounds though.. Hope they will make sample/preset packages in the future for people to buy or something like on the NOISE app! Your videos are great, keep it coming;)
Does anyone know someone who knows Ableton MIDI Remote Scripts well? I know how to make them, but the API isn't particularly well documented. I've had an idea on how to get the seaboard and light pad's MPE record and played back successfully by Live with the use of a single midi track, an M4L midi effect and a custom control surface.

Hello bro. i really want to learn using software sound modules like kontak, mainstage and omnisphere etc.. can you teach me how? i live close to you. 😀 i work in bethesda MD. thank you.
I don’t really teach right now but maybe I can do something different. I’m planning a live session sometime soon. I will be happy to answer all your questions live. Also if you’re interested in Ableton Live, there is a DC Ableton group that meets. It’s run by Edgar who also provides training. Here’s the link: facebook.com/groups/DCAbletonUsers/
Sanjay C yes. I have favorite ones. But I interested your opinion. for example make top 5 library for orchestral music. I don't have many libraryes beacouse I don't have disk space. My favorite library is Cinestrings core, all Cinestrings. Lumina, Novo, Rhapsody percussion, Aeris choir's. Also Philarmonik 2, Bigbang, for piano addective keys, and Arturia's all libraryes. These are all I have. But my laptop can not cope 😣 also I have just 10 gb free 😃. What do you say is a good choice?
Ballerini, you’ll need to create a multi channel instrument setup in Kontakt if you want to do MPE tricks with multiple notes at the same time. Maybe I’ll cover that in a future video.

So glad I could help Johnny! 🙏🏼
i have swing and more swing have you used it with either library? would love to know if it can control any of the velocity articulations
@@ericclement1598 yep! I have them both, but unfortunately my setup is in storage at the moment so I cannot check for ya *BUT* - you _should_ be able to control velocity and articulation. These libraries are *extremely* customizable. Good luck!
Woow please make more videos like that of other plug-ins! Those are the most useful tutorials ever😍 (and very well done by the way)
Thanks, Ferran! I'll have more of these coming! Glad you found it useful!
Wanted to buy the Seaboard Block for seamless vibrato.. watching this vid helped a great deal !
Glad to hear that! Vibrato is one of the best things.
Dude, you are a life saver. Not sure I could have figured this out on my own. Thank you so much!
Note that you can actually get higher pitch bend range than 12 in kontakt by simply adding additional pitch bend modulators. Two modulators with 12 note bend will be 24 total etc.
Very CooL! Could you kindly show us how the Roli integrates in your DAW? Step by step. Thanks!
That was neat! Nice to see Kyoto!
Hope you can make video of the updated kontak.tnx
thanks so much. I was struggling to adjust my seaboard rise to kontack... this hepled me a lot
You're welcome! 🙏
is this still supported? I'm using Kontakt 6 and not seeing the spanner icon to access the options. it would be great to use the seaboard with instruments like NI symphony brass ensemble. cheers
Simple question can you use it with Spitfire Audio or 8dio libraries? Also can this be used with cubase on a PC? Thx
Equator is a VST so yes it should work with Cubase. I’m not sure about the other two things you mentioned.
Sanjay C Thank you so much I ordered it today. It seems it will work on a PC as well with the Phobos vst by spitfire audio.
Awesome! You’re welcome! Enjoy it and share your music!
Sanjay C Thx I write music for TV and ESO. It's all shared! Lol.
Woah! So cool! What can I look up to hear your work?
i'm finally going to pull the trigger on one but i'd love to know if you have used it with any woodwinds?
When I make these adjustments and save the instrument settings the pitch bend to 12 never stays at 12z anytime I reopen my preset for an instrument the pitch bend setting is always back to its default setting. Any clue why it would do that?
Hi sir there is a new vereion of kontak..im having hard time to map mg seaboard.. Hope to can help me please.. Thanks

Now my block just plays the notes but I would like to map expression into press and dynamics to slide for example.. no luck so far.

No, you shouldn’t need extra speakers just for the seaboard. Maybe check the track volume or plugin volume.
Awesome Sanjay..you've answered some of the questions I had..If you had a choice between the Expressive E Touche and the seaboard....which device do you think would be most useful for all these kind of vibrato type effects as you've used them here?

Could you make couple more videos for seaboard... please
Hi Sanjay, can u please explain, how to configure Geoshred running on iPad connecting to Ableton Live on Desktop to control SWAM violin(running on desktop)
Great work
Thanks!
thank you for this! really really great :)
You’re welcome! :-)
Hey sanjay , make one tutorial using connecting and using roli with fl studio
Thanks Sanjay and yea ive been looking for ways to keep this kontakt setting for roli default on all kontakt instruments..so far it doesnt seem to exist..let me know if you come across it at a point...
Sure. I’ll let you know if I figure out a way.

Hi Sanjay! thank you so much for your videos! I tried to do what you said but in my dashboard there's no checkbox for MPE. There's a selection bar and I've to select between MPE, multichannel or singlechannel. What do I do? thx again!
I tried to put single channel, because I've a seabord block, and then follow your instructions and it didn't work :(
I saw you have the Signal Engine by Output Instruments. Have you been able to use the seaboard block with any of the Output libraries? they dont give me the wrench icon. Only the gears.
You can right click some “knobs” or sliders on the interface and click the learn option to train your Seaboard. :-)
Hey Sanjay! Thanks for you videos. Anyway to get this seaboard to work with Maschine? Wondering if there is a way to bypass the fact that maschine isn't set up for MPE
Set your Seaboard for single channel (instead of MPE). you can do that in Roli Dashboard. That should work.
@@SanjayC awesome thank you! So just to be clear, all of the mpe features of the seaboard can be recorded in maschine if i set it to single channel? Heard people having issues with maschine compatibility and can't find much info
I can't seem to get mine to work, idk if it's an FLstudio issue or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I set it up the same as you did in the video or atleast I believe I did but nothing gets automated
Did you turn off MPE in Roli Dashboard/Studio?
@@SanjayC it doesn't say on or off in mine it only gives me options between multi channel, single, piano or mpe so I tried them all lol
I made the changes on dashboard but the settings in kontakt still the same i cant do a vibrato or a slide, can you tell me what i did wrong?
Make sure your MIDI channels are the same. The midi channel that is set in Dashboard and the midi channel of Kontakt.
I followed all the steps and it didn't work :/ my seabord doesn't even sound. What am I doing wrong? I'm using kontakt 6 on REAPER in windows 10
really helpfull, thanks!
Anytime!
could you make tutorials for the "session" libraries too? for some reason i can´t get it to work
I used the session libraries in my cinematic video, although I didn't use the Seaboard to play those sounds. The session libraries are more for programming/sequencing. So they are not so playable. I wouldn't use the Seaboard to control them. HOWEVER...I'm still learning too, so I may change my mind ;-)

Hope they will make sample/preset packages in the future for people to buy or something like on the NOISE app! Your videos are great, keep it coming;)
I read somewhere that NI is creating a more MPE-compatible Kontakt. If that's true, we could be closer to a solution!
question: can you do all of this not connected to wifi? life offline, if i have the presets downloaded?
Yes this should work fine offline.
what is the best software in your opinion to get to record tracks that i make?
I like Ableton Live. Logic is also really nice if you have a Mac. Logic has nice sounds. I like the Ableton workflow.
Have you tried to use the seabord block with Tracktion Waveform?
That’s my current setup, using a whole blocks set with Waveform 9 :)
Nice!
But... Doesn’t show how to use the Lite Block for percussion.
Hello Sir, any software for android phones ??
Yes, for the Google Pixel phones: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roli.noise&hl=en
Thanks a lot for quick reply. But i have different android mobile. :(
Roli says they are working on making the software for other Android phones. Hopefully that will be soon.
oh that's great. Thanks a lot Sir.
how does works modulation wheel?
You can map it to the seaboard too
Does anyone know someone who knows Ableton MIDI Remote Scripts well? I know how to make them, but the API isn't particularly well documented. I've had an idea on how to get the seaboard and light pad's MPE record and played back successfully by Live with the use of a single midi track, an M4L midi effect and a custom control surface.
Can i do this but on my pc??
Yes, for sure.
can this work with Pro Tools ?
Not fully with Pro Tools - but read this: rolisupport.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/36000024657-pro-tools-using-the-seaboard-rise-grand-with-pro-tools
Hello bro. i really want to learn using software sound modules like kontak, mainstage and omnisphere etc.. can you teach me how? i live close to you. 😀 i work in bethesda MD. thank you.
Hey cool...do you use Ableton Live?
Sanjay C no sir. And i want to learn it how to use it. im not just knowledgeable about softwares
Sanjay C im new to starting equator , and mainstage. Thats the only two software i use. Also the ipad noise app
I don’t really teach right now but maybe I can do something different. I’m planning a live session sometime soon. I will be happy to answer all your questions live.

Sanjay C ok sir thanks alot for the help 😀
Nice video for sideboard uses 🎹 please make video for best Kontakt orchestral liberties. ☺️
Which is the best orchestral library?

These are all I have. But my laptop can not cope 😣 also I have just 10 gb free 😃. What do you say is a good choice?
I’m just getting started so the only ones I’ve tried so far are Native Instruments. I will need to try Cinestrings.
♥️♥️♥️
I want to see how work whit exhale 😍
Exhale!! Great idea!
Ok but what about polyphony?
Ballerini, you’ll need to create a multi channel instrument setup in Kontakt if you want to do MPE tricks with multiple notes at the same time. Maybe I’ll cover that in a future video.
Thank you man!
Дай бог тебе здоровья, друг! 😂🤪
