I love how everyone gets so hell bent on rubbishing the fact that this dude is using a midi controller to play a guitar sound, while forgetting the purpose of demonstrating the possibilities in new technology is to expand the horizon of musicality. Yes this vid shows a guy playing a Jimi tune, but use this thing for any number of further possibilities and you break new musical ground. Ironically, that's exactly what all the cool cats like Jimi were out to do, and here we have a bunch of anti progress comments due to musical purism? I'm pretty sure Jimi would lose his shit if he had a crack at this thing. Bring on technology!

True. It's all technology. Hendrix electric guitar did whole lot of stuff an acoustic can't. And even acoustic instruments are technology. Push it further back and there's only a Capella over tribal percussions.

[@marsonus]

@platomica yes off course it's an attempt to copy a Hendrix classic, as did Clapton, Red Hot Chili Peppers, SRV, Living Colour, The Cure, and many more. The differences are: 1. This cover is on a keyboard that expresses like no other keyboard has ever. 2. It's for a demonstrative purpose to show 'how' this keyboard is different to all other keyboards, ever. Musicality talks to sensitivity in musical expression. I'm not sure anyone can argue that this keyboard allows expression better than any keyboard has in the past. Your argument that it's a narrow, contrived and uninspired attempt to copy a Hendrix classic cannot be said differently for the many copies that were made to date. However, this copy wasn't released and sold to sell the 'music', it was released on KZbin with the purpose of demonstrating the remarkable and distinct capability of this musical instrument. Getting bogged down in defending Jimi's musical genius serves no purpose in talking about this instrument as the video is not about challenging the amazing music created by, IMHO, one of the coolest cats ever to grace the earth. It's about demonstrating the capability of an instrument. You think CBS didn't market the Fender Strat? I see demonstrations of guitars by all sorts of companies, by all sorts of artists all the time. Where's the difference?

[@Hue_Nery]

Until the Seaboard you could not independently bend notes on a keyboard without affecting the entire keyboard. That's what make this keyboard so incredible. All pitch and modulation effects are note independent and you don't have to free your left hand to do it. You just use each key or touch ribbon appropriately.

[@passion_flora]

The joke is that we already have an instrument that sounds like a guitar, an actual guitar. No one's denying that this isn't a huge innovation, it just doesn't need to replace what's already there you know

[@187onasimp]

People in these comments really don't know anything about synths. Replicating a guitar is almost mission impossible for even 2-3 grand keyboards there just too much to try to imitate and they usually end up sounding "Mechanical and Processed" this synth they made makes it sound alive. That's what makes this video amazing. Also you would never know if you were listening to a real guitar or a keyboard when you buy someones CD all you hear is the song. They're not going to tell you.

[@bosshossredsox]

Ameretsu Shidori Did you watch the same video? This is a far cry from the "expressiveness" of even a poor guitarist, let alone the guy he is trying to emulate. Besides, I have personally heard people play the same sounds on a keyboard with a pitch bend pedal. Hell, you can even throw a high pass filter in there to selectively bend notes and recombine them with the low notes for under $100. Tell me again, what is the point of this if everything it does is already possible or done better elsewhere?

[@187onasimp]

jo jim I play Synths and Guitar it sounded pretty good technology has come a long way.

[@bosshossredsox]

Ameretsu Shidori I agree that it sounds good, but I don't see where the huge advancement is. Similar tech has been around a while, albeit in a different form. If they show me something that has never been possible with the same setup, substituting this new device with a nice keyboard and a pitch bend pedal, I'll see that I was wrong. However, I have yet to see something really revolutionary.

[@ggPescesgg]

It sounds more realistic than other guitar imitating midis for keyboards because you can bend the pitch and stuff on a roli. At least I think so

[@johnstanley3939]

Pes Ces yeah and I think the roli accounts for minor pressure changes as well to better simulate how hard the strings would be hit/picked

[@papahuge]

Digital always sounds better. There is more room in the digital domain to reproduce quality. Analog shaves off a ton of high end to get that "warm sound". But what you are talking about is just good sampling quality. And sampling has always been digital. But the main reason why this sounds so good is not the sample quality, it's how amazingly creative the artist is at playing that pad keyboard.

[@azzans]

its stock guitar sounds. What makes it sound real is the ability to do what guitars can and pianos can't. This is the power of the roli, since you can do nuanced things such as bends and slides and scratches etc. Just look at how he is moving his hands on the roli, those are just him manipulating different expressions for the guitar but on the piano.

[@ReductioAdAbsurdum]

> the seaboard doesn't accomplish anything else already done by other, cheaper machines. WTF are you talking about? What "other, cheaper" keyboard lets you articulate the pitch of each note independently? If you're going to argue that you can just use a guitar, you're a dumbass of epic proportions, completely missing the point. This device is not a guitar emulator, it's a keyboard that's expressive enough to do a passable guitar, which is unprecedented in history. Obviously that expressiveness can be used for everything _else_ keyboards do, most of which has nothing to do with guitar.

He's using a daisy chain of real guitar pedals on the mix bus channel that contains the guitar samples. It's most likely just an average kontakt guitar.

It certailny does take some getting used to, but that comes quite quickly :) Meanwhile, Marco is the best seaboardist I've seen so far but I have to disagree with the opening statement. It takes a guy who knows how to use an instrument to demo it properly and this is exacty it. Otherwise demoing it wouldn't make much sense ;)

[@jacobbetz9657]

Actually Roland Lamb, the founder of Roli, said that it definitely will take some getting used to for most people, but that multi-instrumentalists seem to pick it up fairly quickly. He specifically said that musicians who play guitar and keyboard/piano seem to pick it up instantaneously.

[@theVoltan]

Well that makes sense ;)

Wow! Amazing!

[@johnnyb357]

.......WOW! Bravo Marco!!!

[@thewanderinginternetwizard4361]

I'm actually more excited about how this is the closest thing to Little Wing on KZbin that isn't a cover, or a tutorial. Why were all those Hendrix songs taken down?

The Wandering Internet Wizard copyright. you cant have any album versions on youtube

[@KrasszTV]

You do realize you can listen to stuff on a website that isn't KZbin?

Wyatt Rowe Ah yes, Jimi Hendrix's greedy sister, Gimmie Hendrix.

The real question is: what fantastic sound bank is he using

[@tonystephen6312]

thats more to the point! wonder if its a plug in?

@@tonystephen6312 it has to be. That's one of the most expressive and forward thinking guitar emulations I've ever heard.

@@senoreverything6366 I was actually thinking it sounded really bad, honestly. Doesn't sound like a guitar at all. There's some really good guitar soundbanks out there too! But yeah, didn't like this at all.

That's how far ROLI have taken things. I'm impressed... more that he's putting in huge amounts of vibrato and feel which takes years to hone on any instrument. He's fucking talented!

[@knobcaller3277]

Massive talent buddy!! It doesn't matter what instrument you're using, if you are making those sounds, you have skill and a great ear

[@BarnacleButtock]

I just wanna know what plug-ins he was running--were those included sounds or no??

[@RinaldoJonathan]

I heard that guitar sounds are included.

[@moremusic6234]

They have VSTs that they created and it can be used as a controller I think. Only problem is very few existing VSTs (like Kontakt ect.) can recognize the signals from the controller because of the new unkown signals. But it's so awesome!

[@RingoFreakingStarr]

They are not "unknown signals"; it's still all MIDI info. What the Seaboards allows is multiple MIDI tracks to be performed and recorded simultaneously with each one representing a dimension of the performance (glide, velocity, ext). You can set up pretty much any VST to work with the Seaboards it just takes a little bit of effort. The Equator VST (Roli's in-house VST) just works out of the box.

[@ChristopherHillman]

Do you think this is the Equator VST or something else (Omnisphere???)
