Equator2: Mind-Bending Sounds

First to reply. Shalom. Indeed. Fellow piano player. Hehe. That all black one, the Roli Seaboard is touch, and you can bend sounds by sliding on keys. The keyboard with colors lighting on the keys is great, too. London company, Roli.

@CchewWitup Talents would mean something you are gifted with like for example photographic memory or something like that, what you probably mean by “talent” is musical skill. This isn’t a talent since you can actually learn it. Some people are just more exposed to it when they are younger so that’s why they appear to have “talent”. If you expose yourself to it and try to learn it you can definitely achieve it!

"Winter Sets In" is a striking example of the pitch-bending possibilities of the Seaboard instrument. Something that was previously only possible with sting strumpets or the human voice. Or imaging playing pitch-bending on a Bach organ piece.
