I just ordered a Seaboard (Songmaker Kit) today. Just were looking for an introduction on how to use it with a hardware synth. So, this video is very helpful! Thanks a lot.
Thanks! Their synth sounds are great and in terms of price until recently there wasn’t any real competition. Would be interesting to compare to the ContinuuMini coming soon
For anyone looking at this in 2021… a new way of connecting wireless is using a WIDI jack or WIDI host... I have a jack and connects to both my lumi and seaboard block with literally no lag... Its been pretty amazing these last days just playing my modular with a keyboard, no cables going from the keys to the case 😁😁
Thanks for the informative video! Have you heard about Axoloti? Not only could you use it as an MPE synth, it could also function as a Midi USB host. And it's cheaper than either Kenton or Hobbytronics (if you ignore that it comes as a naked circuitboard...)
hi! thanks for the video. I'm thinking to buy the seaboard and I wonder if I'll be able to connect it on my Behringer model D directly via usb without passing by a usb/midi host. I've seen you know that synth (I've seen your video on model D as well). Did you try it with the seaboard? thanks
Hi! I just want to thank you for this tutorial. I have been wondering how you can set up a roli seaboard block with a synth and this video practically covers everything, so thanks! However I wanted to know what synthesizers can pair up with the roli seaboard block that have MPE control. So if you can, please leave suggestions.
Thanks, I'm also wondering if you experimented any lag/latency/delay within this method. I read that midi din is no fast enough to tranmist correctly mpe signals, that's why roli put only usb on theirs devices.
Ah! So you could control 3 Mothers with the Seaboard using multiple Midi Channels. I do this with the KMI Qunexus, but the Seaboard would be a nice alternative.
Any tips on getting this work with the Matriarch? I got it running as a basic controller, but no glide/bend. EDIT: got it working. I had restricted the bend range to one semitone on the Matriarch for a previous patch.
Hi could you kindly tell me where can I find the midi host you use in the video? The ones I've tried don't work: roli needs the dashboard connection. Thanks for the video!
Hi, Thanks for this ! Has someone tried to connect seaboard block with widi Device. I just bought Roland WM-1 and I'd like to play my Juno-DS sounds with seaboard.
One thing I don't get with Roli stuff. When you set everything up in the Roli dashboard(midi channels, sensitivity..), does it remeber those settings inside the seaboard so you can use it without computer?
I've been looking at the Yamaha Wireless MD-BT01 bluetooth device that plugs into your synth's MIDI ports. Would one be able to, via Midimittr, have the iPhone pair with both the Seaboard Block AND the Yamaha device? Thanks.
Do you think I can connect it to a korg kronos directly from the usb cable without passing it for a pc? I mean connect it directly to a synthesizer and control it with the roli seabord block
HI, If you have any Roli you can connect to a hardware synth using a BLE midi device (No Cable)and the Seaboard see this video th-cam.com/video/8kw2W6zmPOw/w-d-xo.html
Literally what I been waiting to see out of the seaboard. I didnt know this was popular. This will be a lot more popular for the hardware guys now.
Your always there when we need you. So professional, Thanks.
Thanks

One of the greatest channels on TH-cam !!
Word of the Day: Modulation-destination
Zimfab thanks ;)
That is just awesomely cool. Thanks for this tutorial. I have a Mother-32 (among others), and this makes me want to get a Seaboard even more.
Rabbi Steve my pleasure - thank you ;)

That Moog lowpass filter sounds so nice
7:24 "Or check out the channel if you're coming from the future." :) The future is where I am coming from.
Paused this video at 3:56 ...
Good screenshot for TH-cam wallpaper.. :)
Thanks for the video, awesome info!
Did you ever try using the seaboard with the korg volca FM? If so were there any issues?
awesome! thank you. I want to use the roli seaboard more
Thanks for this tutorial

I want to see a video for the mpc x and roll seaboard rise 2 connecting them together or is it the same method???
I was thinking to get an Arturia Keystep, due to all its connection options, but on the same time I’m thinking about the Seaboard! Tough decision :D
Thank you !
On the Kenton website, they state that it's only compatible with Kenton devices !?
Where could i buy a usb midi host like that one?
Bravo pour votre tuto. C'est très clair
Once you edit parameteres to control with the software, you still need to be pluged into the PC or you car use roli free from it ?

ANY IDEA....if you can connect a ROLI Lightpad Bloc to a hardware synth using a Midi Host?
Could you connect a Roli Seaboard with a Prophet Rev2?
Hi! I just want to thank you for this tutorial. I have been wondering how you can set up a roli seaboard block with a synth and this video practically covers everything, so thanks! However I wanted to know what synthesizers can pair up with the roli seaboard block that have MPE control. So if you can, please leave suggestions.
Thanks! I haven't tried pairing any others but check out Roger Linn's sight for the LinnStrument - it has a list of quite a few MPE synths
Would this work with an Organelle m?
Thanks fot this trick ! Do you know if there is any android alternative to plug a synth wirelessly to the roli ?
Thanks and sorry I don't use Android

troublesomecorsair that would be fun!
How might this pair well with the medusa?
Great video, thank you.
Thanks! I've not tried

I was waiting to see this if was possible with a novation peak
Trade Whales I am sure it is though I haven’t tried it
loopop ok I’m going to try it next week just wish there was more MPE out
Is that midi/usb connection work with the make noise o-coast ?
Hi could you kindly tell me where can I find the midi host you use in the video? The ones I've tried don't work: roli needs the dashboard connection. Thanks for the video!
Massimo Cesare Annaloro sure - it’s by hobbytronics
@@loopop Great!
What's the link to the MPE for modular synths vid? I can't find it. Thanks!
I am wondering if I will be able to connect this with a Roland jdxi.
Hi,
Thanks for this !
Has someone tried to connect seaboard block with widi Device. I just bought Roland WM-1 and I'd like to play my Juno-DS sounds with seaboard.
Could this work with a behringer crave too? Or the minilogue xd?
One thing I don't get with Roli stuff. When you set everything up in the Roli dashboard(midi channels, sensitivity..), does it remeber those settings inside the seaboard so you can use it without computer?
If I remember correctly yes
@loopop , which wireless midi are you using?
and nice video!
mario forums thanks! In this case I am using a USB-MIDI host but I have found the Yamaha Bluetooth wireless midi cable to work well
What's the make and model of the usb midi host ? Thanks
Does anyone tried cme widi master with the roli to play hardware synth?
Would this be possible with the grandmother?
I've been looking at the Yamaha Wireless MD-BT01 bluetooth device that plugs into your synth's MIDI ports. Would one be able to, via Midimittr, have the iPhone pair with both the Seaboard Block AND the Yamaha device? Thanks.
I haven’t tried it but no reason why not
Does anyone know if this would work with a JU-06a and a Roli Lumi?
hi what kind of usb midi host is that. i want to connect my seabord rise to my roland keyboards or yamaha keyboards. thanks. 😊
Jade Pascual it’s by hobbytronics
Do you think I can connect it to a korg kronos directly from the usb cable without passing it for a pc?
I mean connect it directly to a synthesizer and control it with the roli seabord block
Alan Noto with one cable probably not, but with this adapter, sure
I really don't get why the thing couldn't have regular usb midi connection.
letMeSayThatInIrish if you mean the Seaboard, it does
the korg kronos has usb outputs and sends midi along with audio. if both have such connections, why can not they connect directly?
Alan Noto it's just the way things are. You need a computer iPhone or USB midi host in the middle
Does it works without a Pc?
Could you plug this directly into an Elektron Digiton you think?
via midi soundcard, probably works.
hello ,what usb midi host are u using..?
antwnhs Stamoulos hobbytronics. It’s no longer available - see description in my usb midi video for alternatives
If you wanted to add a cube to it I assume u can
Hate having to use a computer 😖
HI, If you have any Roli you can connect to a hardware synth using a BLE midi device (No Cable)and the Seaboard see this video th-cam.com/video/8kw2W6zmPOw/w-d-xo.html
I just don't understand why to do that.
Just get a CS80.
If only those keys weren't all BLACK.What were they thinking??
Impossible to see, in a dimly lit room.
#usabilityfail #formoverfunction
Then paint them or something you moron lmao
You wasted my damn time. You didnt even explain how to connect it to your computer
You just use a USB B (printer) cable
