Hey all! Thanks for watching this short introduction to the Seaboard Block M for home studio producers and creators. Be sure to check the follow up video where I discuss the Seaboard M factory default settings, how they differ from the ROLI Dashboard default presets and how it affects playability. This might be crucial to your enjoyment of the Seaboard. th-cam.com/video/QWqk6glBjZo/w-d-xo.html Cheers⚡
i was an early adopter of older version of the Seaboard - I wasnt using it so gave it to Chris Grey - who uses it quite a bit in his production. I am tempted to jump back into the mix just to explore all the stuff you can do with the included software
Nice! If you are using a mac or ios in your setup, this new seaboard block is a breeze to set up with wireless MIDI and no latency that I can notice anyway. Cheers 🌿
Glad it was helpful! Also check out the follow-up video I did on the Seaboard M. There is a Factory default setting on the unit itself, not in the Dashboard software, that in my opinion we should all be using with this smaller keyboard for best playability. Cheers ⚡️
Surprisingly there were not very many orchestra type MPE sounds included with the ROLI Studio Player software and the few that were included did not have the expressive range I was hoping for. Besides, that is not the type of music I make for this channel. If you are looking for those sorts of demos, check out ROLIs own demos as well as Jordan Rudess videos where he demos some amazing Orchestral instruments (professional library) with the Seaboard Rise. Cheers ⚡️
I just ordered one do you think it’s necessary to have two? I have enough desk space for one but I can make another one work. I have a Kontrol s61 midi which takes up most of my workstation space.
Nice! No, I don't think you need 2 or more to enjoy this. However, check out Doctor Mix's review from last year where he demos 3 all together, and you might get an idea of the benefits. One thing I would definitely keep in mind is the factory defaults for the Seaboard M are not the same as the defaults in the ROLI Dashboard software, you want to save these defaults to a new Dashboard preset so you can re-use them in other presets to save you from applying too much pressure on the seaboard. This definitely affects the playability of the Seaboard. Here's a link to a follow up video where I show this: th-cam.com/video/QWqk6glBjZo/w-d-xo.html Enjoy your new Seaboard; I think you are going to love it! Cheers ⚡
Unfortunately, not yet. According to their product page: "We only ship hardware products to the USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand." I'd send them an email and see how you can get one in your area. Cheers 🌿
I believe it. One of the reasons put that bit in, so people know what is involved. This is a software driven instrument, for the most part. Although you can configure it for particular set up, you are stuck with that until you plug in to a Mac/PC and reconfigure.
Wow, that is a wild looking controller! It probably has better MIDI CC configuration across the axes.. I think the Seaboard still has the 3 axes for single channel midi devices that support it: z - Pressure/aftertouch, y - Slide or vertical modulation along the last key played and x - Glide or horizontal movement across the board. You can actually glide from note to note without using the top and bottom 'strips', it's just more challenging to get a flow that way. The only thing ROLI could improve is the configuration for the Seaboard - we need to be able to change the CC for all axes, not just Slide and be able to select different MIDI channels right from the Seaboard... Cheers 🌿
@@Tetrad10Roli makes such impressive hardware, but their commitment to have them not be very functional outside of their software is a big turnoff for me. I would be all over this if they would have robust and open tools to map any of the expression parameters to whatever, in whichever synth I like
I have seen the inside of one of these . . . . . . . . . . . trust me , if you were not given one for free and actually paid real money for one of these you do NOT want to know .
@@Tetrad10 ok so the inside is basically some sponge and some resistance strips . . . . .its insanely simple , the cost to make must be 30 dollars , maybe the R and D was alot . . . . ?

Hey! Thank you for the review - so glad to hear you enjoyed the experience. Please tag us in anything you create with the Seaboard M!
Thanks! I really enjoy playing it... so much that I forget to press record!

Just had my Block delivered today, so thanks very much much for this walkthrough…..very helpful indeed and a sub from me.😊
Glad it helped!

how is it going?
@@Mikalyn Not had too much time to play around with it but its potential for the kind of music I like to make (ambient) will be awesome.
@@charmawow for sure - i play keys in my shows and might be fun to add this to the mix.
Thank you very much for this walk through. Now I look forward even more to my new toy, 😊

Jamie parks studio production 😎 wow turned up music 🎶 🎵
Thanks for listening
I thought that I will heard basic instruments. Piano, flute, saxo, organ, strings generally. In high quality.
It not works on this?

@@Tetrad10 Oh yes. Sounds exist for ROLI but after buy profi library. Thanks. I predictable it.
@@Tetrad10 Thanks for large explain. In professional library will great sounds sure.

i´d rather get an Exquis for that price, 3 axis > 2 axis

Spill the beans, bro! I can take it - I used to repair electronics for a living, so I've seen a lot.

just a lost user who speaks out of envy that he cannot sell what others have...
