I've been waiting to see how this goes since I watched it first at namm, mpe has probably made this my choice over the roli, desperately need something like this for uvi falcon.
It's getting better! Last year I was quite skeptical about this concept, but now it looks really amazing. Considering all the applications this looks like a good deal for the price even if I have to swap layouts time after time when they wear off.
Yeah I was seriously debating getting the blocks, but this looks absolutely freaking rad! Love the qwerty keyboard, and would LOVE one with a numpad to get the most out of pro tools. Lots of room to grow with newer pads. What an incredible product!
would need a little work to create an interface to the software but you could use it to control 3-way colour grading, a replacement for the track balls normally used.
Very interesting product. My only concern regards the durability of the overlays and maybe the battery which, I suppose, is not replaceble by the users so, what happen when it will be exhausted? Have we to send the device to some laboratory in order to have it replaced?
This looks great! I'm looking for a midi controller to go along with Ableton Push 2 and this might be it. Is there any noticeable latency and what is the latency from the time of tab/pressure to it's arrival in say, Ableton Live?
Very good idea, I like how flexible this unit is. I mean anybody with a computer should have this with the typing keyboard and then add in whatever else you would need. I want to make a long piano
Are u kidding me... we have an lcd screen to change visual layout of the instrument... why go back in time to hard mediums!?!? What if you lose a layout overlay? Or how long will that layout overlay last until the material degrades... all these functions can be performed on a contemporary touch lcd's...
I wonder if there will ever be a way to build your own controllers. I can imagine having a box full of knobs and sliders etc that I could put onto an overlay in any pattern I want. That would be amazing. I use midi designer on my iPad. If sensuel was flexible like that, I would use it for sure
Could always make your own templates to lay on top as it does knobs and sliders, could save your programming for each bit of kit, imagine be easier than having to disesemble and build everytime you want to use on other gear, Could work out lot cheaper unless using all at once, Hardware approach would be good on your prized never going to sell stuff too though.
$235 [EDIT: I meant $335] for base unit plus keyboard overlay... About the same price as a Roli block keyboard, which will *not* allow you to change it to an MPC, video, drumpad or other controller for 35 bucks. Way to go Sensel -- spectacular product for a spectacular price (considering what you get).
The Sensel Morph and the Joué are very similar to each other! I wonder who got inspired by who, or did the companies come up with the idea separately? ;) Cool devices none the less, and competition is healthy. The Morph seems a little bit more versatile of the two.
! I just found out info in your Downloads page. Ninjaflex! Smart thinking guys :) I'll be strapped from Holiday purchases for awhile but you're on my list. Cheers :)
But will that 3D print also have a usable smooth surface like the existing overlays? I think there should be a midi controller only surface without the drum pads.
This should give Roli a run for their money. Less expensive and more versatile. I would say that the Seaboard has more personal feedback with the bumpy keyboard. I just cannot see paying $800.00+ for a full size key controller so this may be an option. Bocks is more of this price range but with mini keys and a watered down version of their software I just could not justify keeping it in my studio. A little competition never hurts.
I don’t think these are a threat to the roli instruments for various reasons. The biggest one is that the seaboard is just a keyboard, but a totally amazing one. These overlays don’t have the same playability of a keyboard. It is more versatile but not nearly as good as a pure keyboard. People use seaboard as a piano or organ replacement. I think that most of those players are not interested in multiple surfaces. They want a keyboard that they can master for live play. I could be wrong, of course, but I don’t see that roli is worried at all.
Perry Pelican I totally agree with you. I think this appeals to a different audience. If it's music, it's more the practical editing / producing side, maybe on the move, with a bit more power and flexibility in terms of 5D expression than, say, a standard iPad. Aside from that, it also functions as a very cool input controller for completely different applications outside of the music industry - gaming, editing, image / video production, or controlling the most crazy applications that we might not even have thought of. That's a realm ROLI is not interested in, while their application within the musical domain is quite a bit more powerful than this device - especially if you compare this to the Seaboard Rise 49 or the Seaboard Grand.
At that price and technology level it would be be more sensible and flexible to just purchase another cheap iPad and use it with something like MIDI DESIGNER and create your own custom interfaces
Cp Mon Well, simple touchscreens won't allow you really play it, as an instrument, since it doesn't have velocity sensitivity. This product is the f*****g future. Price is crazy low.
This is the exactly the type of technological advance that makes Namm so interesting! So many new open doors!
Completly Agree!!
I've been waiting to see how this goes since I watched it first at namm, mpe has probably made this my choice over the roli, desperately need something like this for uvi falcon.
I wish I could take the time to go to namm. I was never there. If I could, I would go to every one.

One of the most exciting products I've seen in a long time, what a fantastically functional device
Have been waiting for this to go on sale for quite a time. Will sell my Qneo and get this absolutely fantastic device!
This is genuinely REALLY cool
would need a little work to create an interface to the software but you could use it to control 3-way colour grading, a replacement for the track balls normally used.
The API got me particularly excited! Custom surfaces are also an awesome idea. I'm sold.
Nice to have these pre-NAMM videos!
Very interesting product.
My only concern regards the durability of the overlays and maybe the battery which, I suppose, is not replaceble by the users so, what happen when it will be exhausted? Have we to send the device to some laboratory in order to have it replaced?
NAMM videos , great, let them all roll in !
wow! that is actually a really great idea! hope it works as well as advertized!
this is fantastic. Loving what's coming out this year.
This looks great! I'm looking for a midi controller to go along with Ableton Push 2 and this might be it.
Is there any noticeable latency and what is the latency from the time of tab/pressure to it's arrival in say, Ableton Live?
Could this be a substitute for a graphic tablet if you just didn’t use an overlay?
I wonder if all of the parameters are assignable through an FH-1 module.
Amazing idea. Great presentation too.
As someone who works in Premier, and FL studio, this is tempting....
Very good idea, I like how flexible this unit is. I mean anybody with a computer should have this with the typing keyboard and then add in whatever else you would need. I want to make a long piano

Thought I was't going to spend anymore money on musical gear this year, but now I have to get this. I have to.

guess you could make ur own pots and sliders and place it on top ya

Yes..it's called eurorack.
Very innovative!

299 + 35.
Sorry, typo: I meant $335. Thanks for correcting me. I'll edit my comment accordingly (if that's still possible).
Still an exceptionally cool product :).
That's what I said, yeah :).
I would assume i could use this as a koas pad...like with an app like Turnado.
Amazing! Interesting to imagine how producers will be making music in 20-30 years
AI will be making music by then.
I need this! I'm going to look at them when I get there
We look forward to showing you the Morph Chris. Booth 10501

Absolutely brilliant!
Interesting controler and Great to see the namm vids coming ..... poor nick sounds like he has the flu !!
It would be cool if you could 3D print your own overlays.
You can!
! I just found out info in your Downloads page. Ninjaflex! Smart thinking guys :) I'll be strapped from Holiday purchases for awhile but you're on my list. Cheers :)
Cheers back =)
But will that 3D print also have a usable smooth surface like the existing overlays?
I think there should be a midi controller only surface without the drum pads.
punchline of the day: "What we have right now is already amazing." :)
Peter jonge, hartstikkene moai!
I was going to get a nanoKONTROL for my iPad but this thing blows it away. Good price too.
Now this is THE midi controller
Amazing. I want a box of them please
This is awesome
The massage chair comment, cracked me up!
wow - love this

Very cool
Brilliant!
so cool!
Very interested!
Amazing product. I really hope they manage to 1) stay in business and 2) don't sell the company to one of the dinosaurs.
Fantastic
Hmmmm... same thing as the Joué set. I like their smaller size better. Price will decide!

Yeah but you don't get mpe with them, and you can't code your own interactivity with them.
This is neat
awesome

Sensel for Maschine Mk4 and Push 3? lol 😂
This is fucking insane.
innovative instrument s
most of your namm vids are unwatchable for those of who suffer motion sickness, please invest in a hand held motorized gimbal
+MisterMacrae you mean four gimbles? right away sir
just finding it very hard to watch your content, I hope you do get a more stabilized camera, because your content is bang on.
This is a copy of Joué.
We actually launched our Kickstarter before Joué did =)
