Marco Parisi’s Top 10 Equator2 Sounds

[@KjellSoenksen]

Marco Parisi is just born to play the Seaboard and even develops it further

[@redders188]

I could genuinely listen to this bloke play that thing all day long. Truly incredible

[@adamghering]

yep, too bad they dont manufacture them anymore but keep bumping videos like this where they are pushing their plugins with the thing you cant get

I'm 40 years now in February, and all I wish for is this keyboard. I've been wanting it for soon long. It's quite expensive so I hope I will be able to afford it. I've been home sick now for 8 years but decided to learn playing keyboard and make music, and now I have... need more music theory but its getting better... just self thought. But this I've been wanting very long:) I can't wait... so amazing 👏

4:55 Harp is gorgeous. Please release an album with this sound and the style you played. ❤️

[@dariuszb.9778]

I could just listen to all this with my eyes closed, but then I would experience just one instrument at the same time. Watching how an artist (the virtuoso would be probably more appropriate word in this context) interacts with the instrument is like experiencing two instruments simultaneously.

[@PeteKowalsky]

LOVE LOVE LOVE! So glad I bought Equator 2 and a Lightpad block the other day!!! :) Now I just need a couple Lumi Keys and a reliable bluetooth sustain solution and I'm good to go. These patches are truly impressive. Thanks for sharing these moments with us. Peace!

[@LEVRAN]

Yes... thank you

The organic, analog expressiveness of a guitar with not just one but both hands and the sound/sample/tone library of digital instruments. The best of both world. It sounds amazing.

[@prasshanthvp1082]

Marco - Masterclass from you with roli instruments would be hands down the best thing ever. I don't know if this is everyone's opinion, but for me It's been a big struggle getting a hang of the instrument and getting the best out of it. At times I am confused if it's either a faulty machine (at times its true tbh) or if I am not doing it right! When I hear you play I am in love with the instrument and the magic you bring in. I really wanted to buy another block to make it bigger, and I am someone who doesn't shy away from spending on such wonderful instrument but since the initial stuggle was real, my songmaker kit is right now sitting in a corner making new friends with cobwebs and dust. Now I wanna go back and try what you advised. Really appreciate your thought of putting out a masterclass. Eager and excited! Thanks for all that you do ❤️

[@MarcoParisiOfficial]

Ciao! Thanks so much for the kind words. I know that feeling and I am sure that with the right approach that initial struggle will become pure joy. I'll definitely work on masterclass/lessons for you and everyone interested. I'll keep you updated!

[@edwardhanson318]

This keyboard is truly a genius way to engineer the quality of sound with its counterpart Equator2. The best way to compose music in the making. Thank you ROLI for making these available for us.

Would love to hear Marco cover Gary Moore's ...'Empty Rooms' or his version of 'The Messiah will come again'. LOVE what he did with Purple Rain

[@HyperNova137]

I was kinda hating on the Equator2 when it first came out, but after stumbling upon this, I think you may have just sold me on it... The demos I saw before were focusing on the more electronic styles of sounds, but all of my other synths can still do those better. I'm focusing more on meditative music at the moment, and some of these patches actually do seem to offer something a bit different, and incredibly useful. Great work.

[@AlexBoulos]

I love you Marco! You're the best

[@claudevieaul1465]

Excellent choice Marco! And it's very useful to see your hand movements when playing, as the standard piano style of playing doesn't really translate well on a Seaboard Rise. More expression means more nimble fingers :) Great to hear you're a massive Hammond fan - same here: Hammond B3 with Leslie, actually, on which my Rise25 looks completely lost :)

[@chackalsjc]

Marco is a master!

[@txdap786]

Wow very impressive...

[@sharpen-up]

Dude, you're amazing

[@MarcoParisiOfficial]

🙏🏻

[@neilloughran4437]

I really like the Harmon mute sound and Additive Mantra. I think Marco is a great player... the other sounds I don't really get feeling for... I guess it's all subjective. I used the Equator 2 on a session at the weekend... had prepared some cello sounds and the like... in the end we replaced them with cellos from an old NI library that costs less than $50 atm and I've since found even better examples from 2011. The Equator just didn't quite have the presence but I think its still ok in it's own right.... The presets on the whole didn't do much for me but seems I'm in the minority as other people love them. I think the main strength of the Equator 2 will be in making your own sounds... the grain stuff sounds interesting as you can import your own samples. If Reason supported MPE I would be using Grain all the time with it..

[@VestigeOfFate]

Seaboard RISE 2 has now been unveiled, so you may be pleased.

[@adamghering]

@@VestigeOfFate I am not pleased, There are no options, the version is out of my price range I was interested in block, songmaker, or rise 25 which they currently dont offer. so you can either be rich and want something that doesnt fit on my desktop or go without at this point. I was really hopeful for this as a device I believe in the product but I feel they have disenfranchised a wide spectrum of their user base with this call. and with the company being on the edge of things My call is that they dont recoupe enough cash, the series 2 wont sell enough units with a 1400 dollar price point and ill either be waiting years for a smaller version or ....they wont sell enough usits to proceed with any variations and Ill just have to live without it until some other company fills the void

[@Equinoxalpha647]

@marco what's your best advice for learning the seaboard? Beginner tips and exercises ?

[@MarcoParisiOfficial]

Ciao Tim! Best advice - in my experience - is to approach the Seaboard like a completely new instrument. Start easy, just a few notes at the time (literally a single note per hand, then slowly increase). With those notes, try to deeply explore every dimension. Slide up, down, left and right; increase and decrease the pressure per note and while you do it - most importantly - give your complete focus to the sound that every finger is creating. On the piano, once we've played a note/chord there's not much we can do. On the Seaboard, on the opposite, we are always and constantly in control. This could make things more difficult at the beginning but then opens a new magical world later, where you would find REALLY difficult to go back to a regular keyboard. Simply, don't rush. Take your time to get comfortable and then, once you're there, you can try scales or whatever exercise you do on the piano to improve your skills and get more precise. Also, I'm considering doing online masterclasses in the near future that you may enjoy. Hope that was helpful!

[@Equinoxalpha647]

@@MarcoParisiOfficial Thank you for this awesome advice, the satisfaction of playing a real instrument was what attracted me to the seaboard. Music comes from the seaboard breaks down the technology barrier between what you feel and what you csn create! :) I love it! Also super cool of you to respond! Love and respect!

Hello Roli! The deal of upgrade Equator 2 end 3rd december or in january 2021? This discount available on pluginboutique

[@christhewiz2229]

I can't find any of the sounds (except the additive mantra and trumpet). I guess they aren't presets, but have to be bought? In addition trumpet sounds rather bland in comparison to Marcos version. Any feedback appreciated :) Ps. Marco is a real virtuoso. I always look forward to any new content!

These sounds are wonderful but you can find similar ones, but a sound like this in ROLI Tutorials: Seaboard Playing Techniques and Sounds - Lead Guitar, I haven't found. I asked, of course, Heen-Wah-Wai but I did not receive an answer. I think you might have the solution.
