@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!

In all fairness during the movie 'Titanic', If I'd have been floating anywhere near a Seaboard Rise 2 I'd be surfing home safely alone on it, without a single shred of doubt that I'd made the noble choice. Roli 1- 0 All other MPEs. It's hands down the best controller I have & Equator 2 is absolutely incredible. It's so expressive, it actually frowned at me for playing in C#

[@hoodedbugler]

Please let's here more of the acoustic and classical instruments. Especially bowed strings. If they sound good with the seaboard it will be a good selling point imho

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

"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.
