I would never have imagined a touring musician would drop a new instrument into a tour date with... basically no prep time. Amazing. And it sounds wonderful.
Very cool to see someone incorporating it in a live set. I should really go see one of these shows! And balls of steel to make it happen so fast after you first laid hands on it. 😅
once again, such a thrill to get to see 'life on the big stage' (as I used to call it when I played pro). So awesome that you offer us insights into the scene, this new gear, etc. .....a really rare and wonderful opportunity for us all - thanks
Amazing seeing it in action in a live performance like this and it sounds luscious! What did Lauryn or any of the other band members think of the sound sompared to the Seaboard on its own?
Dear Sam, thats an amazing performance and a gutsy one. Congrats. How do you ensure malfunctions during such a big show? You need the laptop in front of you to operate the Seaboard/Airwave. What is the software freezes or the laptop has some issue during the performance?
Egreed but!…its look great!…even its marketing!!! I found myself starting with foli from beginning and then going Osmose..and now air!..so i am getting one to pait with it!..)..
It certainly sounds cool enough, but I really just can not picture how Mrs. Hill can overly appreciate the experimentation on her songs during live performances. The Seaboard was one thing… the airwave though; it just completely throws off or takes over some sections of songs that have a very distinct sound to them. She must be very forgiving on this 25th anniversary tour lol... That said, it certainly will have some incredible live application in the future, with more time and pre-planning.
Well, in this case I mixed the audio so the seaboard/airwave is at the front of the mix, since it's the subject of the video. But it wasn't that loud that in the room.
@@SamGutman Ah, that actually makes a lot more sense. I did think it sounded a bit like it was overwhelming her voice. Didn't mean to sound overly negative. As a recent Seaboard Rise 2 owner, I can see it is certainly a wonderful musical expansion with a tremendous amount of potential. Excited for what the future will sound like.
Sam, you must be really knowing what you’re doing, this is so risky to do this at such professional level. It’s also risky that the artist lets you… What indeed if something goes wrong? I’m assuming you have immediate options to grab the sound on one of the other two keyboards? Just not the same expression I guess?
So even though my normal rig is 4 keyboards, I have things set up so that I'm prepared to do anything I need to do on just the Montage. So if something fails I can fallback on that.

That's the kind of musician I wanna see!
You have balls of steel doing that live with a couple of hours practise.
Really cool, thank you for taking the time and recording it. Such an ode to your musicianship.
Fantastic! Love these videos, and you made that thing sound incredible! looking forward to seeing (and hearing) more from the Airwave!
Thanks! Yeah I can't wait to do more with it when I actually get one. Def inspires me to play my seaboard more

F*ck, I see you guys were in Amsterdam last week. 😂
@@luucdentoom6955 yep. Over the next week or so we're hitting Stockholm, Hamberg, and Berlin.

So so dope. Sounds amazing, and your dexterity with it seems natural, either by design or adaptation, or both... either way, bravo!
Awesome, beautiful music and you really got this thing under control!!
so cool to see these behind the scenes!!!!
Speechless, great great great performance!!!!
I have said of already, but you are so fu.. talented, Sam. And nerves of steel or just nice confidence going for that!
Thanks Mikas! Yeah it was a bit of a gamble, but I did get to the venue very early that day to start trying it out.
Very cool, digging the sounds you got out of that in just a short time!
it's all the sound designers at Roli! Must have been super fun to build sounds for this.
your channel is amazing man! I am a touring country bass player who is learning keyboard I love ur channel man!!!!
you look like a wizard playing that thing 🧙♂️ so dope!

@@MillisecondFalcon Lauryn said “What’s that some kind of Theramin thing? Haha. Everyone else in the band thought I was casting spells.
Well done!!!
A much needed real life review
great work
Oh man, somebody .. send me one :-)

❤❤❤❤
So it is kind of like an expression pedal for those with no feet but an extra hand!
Duuuude... this is made for JMJ!!! I wonder if he's already got one!!!
I didn't know who that was, but I'm listening to Equinoxe right now and really digging it
@@SamGutman Jean Michelle Jarre! now i just gotta listen to Equinoxe!
They took it back? Roli are fools for not giving you two and putting you on their marketing.

Great, they have invented the Theramin again 🤷

A little bit of and annoying tool. Better the Key controller alone
