The piano for the post-modern world is already beginning to take shape as London based company, Roli, has introduced the Seaboard GRAND keyboard. The pricy new producing controller is a hybrid of traditional instruments with modern day technology. Running with the slogan of ” Inspiration at your fingertips”, Roli has been working for the last 4 years to construct a controller that would do the old school piano justice, while also giving it some extra flair. When describing the Seaboard on their site, Roli stated:
“The Seaboard is a radically new musical instrument that reimagines the piano keyboard as a soft, continuous surface. In realising this powerful concept as a refined product, we have brought together years of innovation on several fronts. The Seaboard’s polyphonic pitch bend, vibrato and per-note dynamic changes are all available at your fingertips, marrying the intuitiveness of a traditional instrument with the versatility of digital technology.”
