When it comes to groundbreaking, tactile instruments, the Seaboard RISE 2 stands as a testament to the future of musical expression. While the product itself is a marvel, it only comes to life in the hands of artists.
We've curated a list of talented Creators from the ROLI community who have harnessed the power of the Seaboard to create something extraordinary. Dive into some of their performances and experience the limitless possibilities.
Drawing influencer from Misstiq's Instagram rendition, the Austin-based producer, Codecs, breathes new life into Metallica’s timeless "Fade to Black" on the Seaboard RISE 2. Leveraging String Section 2 from the Equator2 library, this version stands as a testament to the boundless possibilities of music — as well as drawing inspiration from within the ROLI community.
OBLVYN, a gifted producer and creator, never ceases to amaze with her musical experiments, but her Seaboard RISE 2 jam is truly a cut above. Evoking haunting melodies and skilfully leveraging the 5D Touch, she crafts an entire universe of sound. As a YouTube commenter vividly puts it, “Backstory: you are a traveler through the universes and have already visited them all, but then you met a girl who sent you to a new one.”
Venture into a tranquil soundscape with film music composer Maximilien Zaganelli. Set in scenic Sirolo, Italy, Zaganelli demonstrates the potential of the Seaboard RISE 2, paired with just a synth and a cello. It's a serene musical journey, showing the delicate and resonating sounds of ambient music.
Damian Lemar Hudson, a multi-talented singer, songwriter, and producer, offers a visually immersive experience as he crafts a lo-fi groove. Using the Seaboard's 5D Touch capabilities to add the backbone to the track, the Equator2 library to find uniques sounds, an MPC Live to loop, and an Epiphone Les Paul to add guitar slides, Hudson takes us to school, teaching us how a home studio can rival any professional setting.
Some melodies are eternal, and TOMMY reinvigorates the evergreen Titanic theme, "My Heart Will Go On". Showcasing the poignant melody, TOMMY proves that creating any instrument is possible with the Seaboard – including a tin whistle.
