Developer’s Description

By ROLI Ltd.
SEABOARD 5D: THE iPHONE and iPAD LIKE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD THEM BEFORE.
SEABOARD 5D: THE iPHONE and iPAD LIKE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD THEM BEFORE. Seaboard 5D unlocks the extraordinary potential of your iOS device as a touch-responsive surface for making music. It recreates the expressive possibilities of the Seaboard RISE, the award-winning instrument from ROLI. Shape sounds on-screen through the Five Dimensions of Touch: Strike, Glide, Slide, Press and Lift. You'll discover the power and fun of Seaboard 5D as soon as you touch the screen. Seaboard 5D not only turns your iOS device into a powerfully expressive musical instrument, it is also the ultimate portable sound engine for your favorite MIDI controller. ADD NEW DIMENSIONS. Play a gentle woodwind melody, a rich textured pad or a killer synth lead. Players of any ability can pick up Seaboard 5D, make some tunes -- and put the instrument back in their pockets. The unique playing surface of Seaboard 5D is laid out like a piano keyboard from the future. Instead of white and black piano keys you now have a continuous set of "keywaves" -- just like the Seaboard RISE. You can bend the pitch by gliding your fingers from side to side, modulate a sound by moving up and down a keywave, and -- on the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 -- deepen sounds by pressing into the surface. You can create an astonishing variety of sounds and effects through the Five Dimensions of Touch. FIND YOUR SOUND. Seaboard 5D comes with the Fundamentals Soundpack, which offers 25 diverse, custom-crafted sounds. Polyrhythmic Loops morphs as you play up and down the keywaves. Breath Flute lets you simulate breath control on a wind instrument through pressure. Smoky Rhodes is a cool, modern reinterpretation of the Fender Rhodes. Expand your collection with additional Soundpacks. Hybrid Acoustic comes with over 500MB of unique samples. Expressive Electronic includes both vintage synths and contemporary pads. Synthetic Leads is for when you really just need to shred. POWER YOUR KIT. Seaboard 5D is also the ultimate mobile sound engine for a range of MIDI controllers. Using MIDI over Bluetooth, the app lets you make music wirelessly -- with just a mobile device and a MIDI controller -- wherever you want. It is also one of the first apps with MPE (Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression) Mode, and it works plug-and-play with any MPE-compatible controller. To get the most out of Seaboard 5D, try it with our own Seaboard RISE, the multi-award-winning MIDI controller hailed as "the future of the keyboard" (MusicRadar). The Seaboard RISE and Seaboard 5D are the ultimate tools for making music on the go. THE WORLD OF ROLI. At ROLI, we are creating a set of connected tools for modern music creation. The Seaboard RISE, Seaboard GRAND, and ROLI BLOCKS are part of our family of beautifully designed, technologically cutting-edge products. Learn more at www.roli.com. KEY FEATURES. Tweak your sounds with onscreen macro controls and XY Touchpad. Vary the size of the onscreen keywave surface to suit your screen and preferences. Octave shift buttons and an onscreen sustain pedal add depth to real-time performance. Control Five Dimensions of Touch: Strike, Press, Glide, Slide and Lift. Purchase Soundpacks in-app and build your collection of sounds. Recreate the Seaboard RISE experience on the iPhone 6s and make the most of its new 3D Touch feature. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. Seaboard 5D is designed for: iPhone 5c and above. iPad Pro. iPad Air 2 and above. iPad Mini 2 and above. Please note that while Seaboard 5D works well as a sound engine on all supported iPhones and iPads, you will only be able to use all of the Five Dimensions of Touch with an iPhone 6s or iPhone 7.
