So that vibrato I always do on piano keys will actually do something here?!
Rob Scallon I wish I was Andrew so I could heart this comment
Metal piano vibrato video incoming
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!!!
but ....Does it Djent ?
Same, I always do that
4:33 I wasn't prepared for those *galaxy leggings*
ME NEITHER!!!!!
is he gay?

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.
I do it but probably just because I learnt guitar before piano
That's completely true. I do it too, because some of my most used synth sounds have aftertouch.
Voyageur
Then use a different one... this is just a midi controller. It doesn’t have a specific sound. You can use any sound with it.
Same I know, I so exited when I get it
Not how you use a semi-colon you cretin.
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.
funny thing is that it was actually more helpful than providing units in inches or something
Can you scale the banana with something else, please? Something like a human kidney or a horse.
but bananas vary in size :/
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)
Hahaha this was my fav part. 😂
0:32 is that banana imperial or metric?
metric
yes

Cover the whole thing in coconut oil for some superfast modulation
Or if you want to spoil it.

This thing is made out of silicone, which basically makes it a sex toy. Slap some lube on there.

Actually, Andrew, the seaboards can max out at 6 connected together with a 12-octave range. Just wanted to point that out. Great video!
So it can stretch all the way to the full 88 keys?
@@arthurhenriqued.a.ribeiro2078 Pretty much.

@@arthurhenriqued.a.ribeiro2078 Actually it can go to 144 keys. Which is a lot.
But the power connector for the one in this video is on the side. Won't that interfere with the linking?

this just SMASHED the barrier between real and fake instruments audibly

@@cunnieseverywhere Many keyboards are analog. Only the controller makes it a precise input for the usb protocol.
If you wanna be pedantic about the definition of digital and analog. The way the current travels and in what interval is very much dependent on how quickly and with what force you hit the keys in a membrane keboard as my example.

0:32 If any of you curious about the dimensions, It measures around 282 mm x 141 mm x 24.7 mm and weighing about 650g.
Wait, do you actually own it?!
And, for those wondering, in Imperial Units, it’s roughly 11.1” x 5.55” x 0.97”, and 1.43 pounds.
You’re welcome 🙂
I wonder what part of any of that is the height, weight, and width. Leaving this comment to look it up later.
@@Sh4dowbanned L x W x H
You can also figure it out based on the size of the numbers because it isn’t, for example, going to be 24.7 mm long and you know the weight. Although, it does seem like you would be asking about something else, but I can’t tell what.
But what are those dimensions in apples?
me: mom!! can i get this for christmas?
mom: sure, how much is it?
me: never mind
I sees a copied and non original comment..
When u look at the company’s video and copied a comment from it to a video in your recommended :p
yup!!!!!
Really expensive and not that useful.
@Uqpaa Handy Midi Controllers with 88 full weighted keys + hammer mechanic + aftertouch cost 500 +. Not those crap with super small keys an 2 octaves. It's way overprized. Fair price would be $50, not $300.
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).
It looks so satisfying to play on it! 😍
It is
Johannajoins until it gets broken! First a seaboard block with the silicone peeling off from the edges. The Seaboard Rise 49, with bluetooth dropouts and having to manually reconnect every 5 minutes. And the silicone got swollen in the upper keys. No fix from support aside from sending them the unit and paying the cost INCLUDING the shipping for a product with multiple engineering DESIGN FLAWS. Bluetooth dropouts don’t even happen with cheap Chinese car receivers! This is supposed to be the premium product, right? What a shame!
@@OphiuchiChannel Don't the sounds come from whatever software you're using on the PC? I don't think they're coming from the actual device.
Stoooop! "Satisfying" is stupid!
It is
WOAH that electric guitar is surprising! Electric guitar sims usually suck
@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.

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!
trumpets on keyboards always sound so wrong...
Melox 0701 Easier to play.
Because it was a synth horn, not actualy trumpry samples
4:34 I literally jumped back in my seat...👀
.
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
Love to your channel, man!
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.
ur nail polish looked so good in that purple lighting omfg
divine intervention of beanos the sign kinda point to it... but someone said he has wife
@l p did you not see the Galaxy leggings he was wearing
@l p he does have a wife. Her name is Esther lol

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.
7:03 the hand of a musician
Based.
Even though the possibilities are pretty limited with this thing, it's still one of the most interesting keyboards I've seen. Great video!
Another nice vid! Thanks for the preview on Twitter!
Keep making that music

Hi Andrew i have been listening to your music for years ,it really amazes me to see that your growing into to a outstanding music producer !
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.
Thanks for the info none of the commercials that I’ve seen have explained things so well to me
Can I just say this.
THOSE PANTS THOUGH!!!!
was looking for a comment saying this xd, i thought the same thing
Max Gadd XD xd Eck's dee ayy lmao
I want them so bad! I don’t even care what people would think about me
QuantumBurrito Girls Pants tho ....Never saw a Guy wearing leggings 😅
whait hes gay?
Wow! love your videos, your a huge inspiration to me
@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.
"dimensions " *banana*
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!
Looking fresh my dude! Those pants should be your next album cover.
Sam Johnson
Did you seriously just tell him to make Shooting Stars as an album cover?
I mean, it would mean he'd be making....
Songs to wear pants to.
lmao XD
Ultra Nerd Lol true that
is he gay?( not being mean just wondering)
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
Bro you saved me. I was stressing so hard because no matter what i typed into google the tags just wouldnt hit and i couldnt find this again. thank u
Thanks for answering my question lmao
I've just started watching your videos and so far hadn't seen your legs yet. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't galaxy tights and silver sneakers. Hell yeah dude!
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.
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.👍
YES!!! YOU FINALLY MADE A VIDEO ON IT! I GOT ONE FOR XMAS AND O’BOY... It’s...

Where/when the hell did you film 4:33 to be able to sit outside in a tee shirt? Don't you live in Toronto?

Thanks a lot on the info about “rounding up”, that’s what I was trying to find browsing through a bunch of videos :)
Love this! Learning production myself and I have a few projects up on my channel. So interesting to see all of these different pieces of gear.
That intro was dope!
3:16 does anyone know what plugin he is using or a similar sound, it sounds really cool
Has that perfect W a v e sound
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!
Just stumbled upon your channel, and I have to say, excellent work! And also thank you!
0:30 "It's squishy." - Lincoln
Awesome tech! Andrew, you are a music master. A true artist! Thank you for your work, you’ve helped me musically so much thank you.
this thing looks so cool, it would be awesome to try one out one day. my reaction was pretty much the same with the trumpet, it doesn't even sound that close!
I’ve wanted to get one for my producing setup since it came out and this video made me make up my mind
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!!
3:31 Don't stop believin'!
On the subject of velocity sensitivity / how hard you press the keys, it is customizable in the Roli Dashboard app.
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.
Andrew you’re so creative like each one of your videos are masterpieces 😊😅✨you’re the best TH-camr 😆
Try Saro - Piege Trust me :D
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 saw it in a huge instrument store during my trip to Switzerland. I got hooked immediately by the cool look and bought it as my first midi keyboard
I am sitting on the fence debating whether to do the exact thing, can you share your experiences thus far?
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.
Getting back into production after a decade of just plinking on my analogs. You have inspired me! Ty my friend.

Man, this guy makes stuff look so easy and then I try it and am like where do I even start.
That riff at 3:00 sounded so much like an awesome remix of the Knight Rider theme; probably all in my head, but ... damn that's good!
As a trumpet player, I find all the midi and fake trumpet sounds hilarious
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.
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.
That is really cool, I feel like I would use this on string instruments mainly, and maybe brass
Hey ANDREW, I was wondering if you could do a video or maybe a series on how to write a song from scratch? I really like what you're doing and have been looking everywhere for how to actually write a song... many thanks for everything Man, and Happy New Years!!! Have a great one, Peace!
Roli Seaboard is a really interesting keyboard. It looks just so wierd cause its so flexible! :D
Wezu weird*
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?
ANDREW HUANG ty for clarifying that up.
Y-You too
Random doesn't equal funny.
LoaftyOfficial he didnt call himself that

This is such a unique keyboard. Its different from the norm, but in a great way 🔥
So cool! We love your content Andrew!
It's so expressive that when the banana gets placed on the keyboard at 0:32, you can hear a tiny note being played.

callouses from guitar probably, lotion doesn't work

Getting one of these for school. SO COOL!!!
Andrew you should do a video on what you think about the Musescore software, I would love to see that and I could also show you some neat tricks I have learned about from using it myself because it’s got a lot more than what you first think it does.
Roli would be perfect for a group like Pink Floyd, some of the effects really matches with the type of music they make
