Rob Scallon yes!! so funny, i always do that on piano keys just out of instinct. my brain fills in the lack of real vibrato but now i will have REAL vibrato!!!
Jack Redfield I get it, it's slightly confusing. He lives in Canada, so I guess he used a standard Canadian Banana, which is shorter than the American or metric/European standardized bananas. It is a lot longer than the British one, though. Keep that in mind when converting to the banana you're used to. (Btw I couldn't get info on what the rest of the world uses, but they probably use metric)
Anyone who plays the piano will love this thing because here's the deal; most of us do the whole wiggle thingy anyway (I know I do). It just feels natural.

Dude, this is seriously such a killer instrument to record indie pop or really any music in general, like it's just something will always come in handy. Very good presentation, Andrew!
@3:42 - You may want a DAW or some synths that support MPE. Bitwig was the first to support it (I think), but Cakewalk, Garageband, Logic Pro, Reaper, Cubase among others support MPE natively now. You only need the ROLI dashboard to map Roli expressions to your "legacy" sounds for more expressivity from your Roli controller.
Thank you so much for introducing me to this thing! I'm usually not a "hardware guy" when it comes to music production, but as soon as I saw this thing and intuitive way you could get vibrato with it, I totally fell in love. Definitely getting this thing as soon as it has a big sale (it's actually on sale right now, but I wanna see if I can be patient and get a deeper discount later).
l p Idk but there is this thing that people have been doing where they only paint one of their nails as a part of the Polished Man campaign, an organization which strives to raise awareness about children who are - or have been - sexually abused. And for Pete’s sake, just because a man wears nail polish doesn’t make him gay. Freaking ancient Egyptian kings would wear tons of makeup and nail polish to show hierarchy and nobility during feasts and things. Stupid how men are so easily considered gay for such small things.
@6:12 - you may need the touch block to be able to play chords (or fiddle with the software) as that is how you adjust how finger position effects pitch-bend. If you have mastered the keyboard, you can hit the keys pretty close to perfectly each time, and you can still adjust the final tonality (you may actually want to tweak the tuning like you do on a guitar). If you are new, you'll use the settings on the touch block to minimize the pitch-bend effect much like you expect on a keyboard.
Andrew Huang is the kind of guy to literally wear the weirdest clothes and bust out a couple of awesome retro 80's beats in the middle of nowhere and no one questions it because he rocks it so well.
Thanks Andrew! I bought one a few months ago and haven’t had a ton of time to sit down and figure it out, this video was a quick way for me to see what all it’s capable of before sitting down to try it myself. Keep making great content!

boiiii...you are off the hook...and you answer all the top question anyone would have about a new gear...thank you...i'm trying to get this for my daughter christmas gift
Finally an instrument that can express more organic sounds When playing a guitar or really any organic instrument the vocal quality comes from the musician . With a regular keyboard your so limited on how to express nuances .this keyboard allows so much more and to me really feels way more vocal like when I’m playing a guitar (Which allows slide, vibrato, pitch bend, tremolo, and modulation.) For the price nothing compares with this little guy...it well worth it to add to your studio or live rig.👍
Personally I adore the expressiveness of the flute. I think all the flute sounds are where the ROLI shines because you can get the vibrato but also that breathy explosiveness from a hard hit on the key (squishy thing) lol
Thanks for this review. Back in the day I relied on aftertouch when I performed. Looking forward to getting one of these to put more dynamics back into my performance. It's hard to get aftertouch without spending more than i can afford on a new keyboard. Can't wait to get mine.
I saw someone use some amazing sounds with a bigger seaboard and midi with a rolling stand thingy they had. Man what a cool flamenco dance show with not typical flamenco music.
As a piano student im crying in pain and I'll still 'til I get one of those. It just has soooo much potential. So many options. Cant wait to play Chopin's preludes on that thing!!

My take is that this is excellent for mimicking the the fluidity of real instruments on the fly. Being able to greater vibrato with your fingers and use different techniques to regulate the intensity of your sound. It is very good for soundtracks, mainly orchestral. It's a great investment compared to getting a real orchestra.
Luke Roberts you can get good sample-based trumpet midi instruments, but of course a synthesized sound is never going to sound like an actual acoustic instrument
😂😂😂 I’m with you on that, Luke. Honestly though, Kontakt 5 horns come out pretty dang accurate. Definitely not like live, but the sound is passable and there’s so much automation you can add to it.
I have a question, is there a seaboard god named roli that creates mythical black seaboards which shoot sea stars that carry speacual roli powered bombs that have a blast radius of 42 banana sized seaboards?
With the way the vibrato works, it sounds like this would be an excellent way for guitar players to use midi keyboards with the vibrato function. I’d certainly love to try it sometime and see if it would be possible to write keyboard solos in a similar fashion to guitar solos.
I have only watched a few, but yes Andrew you are great! I am a classical pianist who has always wanted to play jazz but also am discovering synthesizers now at my old age, through a friend....I have had a digital piano for yes 30 years, but due for an uograde haha, but this would be SO fun. I like keyboards and singing, too.
I spent some time digging and according to the Roli website you can connect up to 6 of these things together, should you have the desire and money to do so. Pretty cool!
Useful information... It works as a MIDI controller on Yamaha Montage, with the only thing the Montage can't register being release velocity. Most keyboards don't register release velocity, but Seaboard does. It probably works the same way with other keyboards that accept MIDI.
Yes I'd love to! It's such a cool and unique device to use. And it integrates with DAWs on my Mac pretty well too. All dimensions of the "5d touch" can be adjusted in the roli dashboard app. You can turn off pressure sensitive stuffs to get a simpler experience. I love it so far.

Thank you wholeheartedly for the banana for scale. I was really having trouble assessing its real size and now all my uncertainties are finally gone.

I want this. Right now.
Hey Andrew! I would love to see you make an entire song using only a computer keyboard and a microphone. That would be sweet for all of us out there who have basically no equipment and limited software. Thanks!
God, I want one of these so bad. Add a little bit of genuineness, or organic sound to my music.
That chill beat starting at 2:47 sounds (mood and chord wise) so similar to "Old Souls" track of the Inception soundtrack - not sure if that was intentional or not!
