Amazing review, one of the best I've seen on the Rise. Actually answered a few questions I was having about the nuances of the keyboard. I demoed a VERY beat up one at the guitar center in Boston, and it was a lot more difficult than I had imagined, and I'm a seasoned keyboardist (maybe BECAUSE I'm a seasoned keyboardist), but with practice I think I could get up to the speed and and precision I can with standard keyboards. I'm about to pull the trigger in the next few days on a 49.

When playing some of the techniques Nick demonstrated there, it is essential for anyone playing this for any period of time to work on keeping the hand relaxed and not be 'grabbing' with the fingers that are staying stable. Stressing your hand out like that, if you are not working on being relaxed in the hand (and wrist as well) , could cause some issues.

Those wanting to attach this to hardware: to really make full use of the Seaboard, Soundplane or Linnstrument at this point you need MPE compatibility. There is basically no hardware and very little software that does this. Roger Linn has a list of MPE compatible hw and sw on his site: www.rogerlinndesign.com/ls-mpe-synths.html

Hey Nick another great demonstration/review. I've always been the type of keyboard player that plays guitar/sax solos as well as synth stuff and have never been a traditional type piano player. I really want to go down this route but I agree the price for a controller alone is putting me off. I had a feel of the Seaboard last time I was in the music shop found it a bit freaky although I suppose I'd get used to this. I'd also need to get a Macbook to run the synths at live gigs. Do you think this could be the future of keyboard playing? Do you think this will eventually replace traditional synthesisers?

I view this as useful in two parts: -live performance: this has to be thought of as an instrument in and of itself rather than a typical midi controller. More useful in a band setting, of course, rather than as a solo performer -composing: using this as your iPad midi controller to make music offers a whole new level of easy to access expression for your recording sessions So yeah, it has limitations that make it tricky to be the "every controller" that most controllers aspire to be... But isn't that a GOOD thing? It's nice to see a product that's acting to be extremely good at a specific thing rather than trying to be a Jack of all trades. The price is definitely a turnoff, but that's about the only negative thing I can say about it

I've had the Roli 25 since Dec. 2015. Having used it, I can tell you that Equator is fantastic, melodic expression is a dream, but chord play is quite frustrating with the squishy surface. Simply put, all your prior piano technique goes away. It's just too easy to hit the wrong note on the spongy hills, and the pitch variation gets old quickly when moving in any non-trivial chord progression. Also ensuring its full expression in Ableton Live works well is a hassle. The newer presets are excellent - and the sampling of strings in particular is stunning.

I am very torn with this seaboard Rise controller. It is a very expensive for a controller and I am always leery when purchasing hardware/software combined equipment. If Roli decides to stop updating their software I end up with a dead $1K controller. This happened to me with my Nord Modular. Nord decided to stop updating the editor software and now my $1.5K unit is a red paperweight. It also looks like you could get a pretty bad case of Carpal Tunnel with this keyboard.

You can use it with hardware if you insert a USB to MIDI interface in between. See my comments above about getting it to work with the iConnectAudio4+ and Blofeld. Also, it doesn't HAVE to be MPE compatible hardware... the Seaboard can be configured to work in several different modes, including single channel with channel aftertouch, which is what most existing synths expect. That won't give you the maximum enjoyment out of the Seaboard, but it will still give you a more expressive playing experience than most standard MIDI controllers.

That said, they're all great- Seaboard, Continuum, Linnstrument, Madrona Soundplane. And all of those developers are taking a friendly, cooperative approach to each other's businesses. The thinking is that the more of these that are out there, the more the demand for more, increased widespread acceptance, support from software developers, etc.

Be aware, however, that the Blofeld doesn't support note per channel and I don't think it has polyphonic aftertouch, so you won't get the full benefit of a controller like the Seaboard. But it works fine in single channel mode with channel aftertouch, and it's still more expensive than using a conventional MIDI controller.
