    I love how everyone gets so hell bent on rubbishing the fact that this dude is using a midi controller to play a guitar sound, while forgetting the purpose of demonstrating the possibilities in new technology is to expand the horizon of musicality. Yes this vid shows a guy playing a Jimi tune, but use this thing for any number of further possibilities and you break new musical ground. Ironically, that's exactly what all the cool cats like Jimi were out to do, and here we have a bunch of anti progress comments due to musical purism?
    I'm pretty sure Jimi would lose his shit if he had a crack at this thing. Bring on technology!

    • @marsonus

      @platomica yes off course it's an attempt to copy a Hendrix classic, as did Clapton, Red Hot Chili Peppers, SRV, Living Colour, The Cure, and many more. The differences are:
      1. This cover is on a keyboard that expresses like no other keyboard has ever.
      2. It's for a demonstrative purpose to show 'how' this keyboard is different to all other keyboards, ever.
      Musicality talks to sensitivity in musical expression. I'm not sure anyone can argue that this keyboard allows expression better than any keyboard has in the past.
      Your argument that it's a narrow, contrived and uninspired attempt to copy a Hendrix classic cannot be said differently for the many copies that were made to date. However, this copy wasn't released and sold to sell the 'music', it was released on UA-cam with the purpose of demonstrating the remarkable and distinct capability of this musical instrument.
      Getting bogged down in defending Jimi's musical genius serves no purpose in talking about this instrument as the video is not about challenging the amazing music created by, IMHO, one of the coolest cats ever to grace the earth. It's about demonstrating the capability of an instrument. You think CBS didn't market the Fender Strat? I see demonstrations of guitars by all sorts of companies, by all sorts of artists all the time. Where's the difference?

    People in these comments really don't know anything about synths. Replicating a guitar is almost mission impossible for even 2-3 grand keyboards there just too much to try to imitate and they usually end up sounding "Mechanical and Processed" this synth they made makes it sound alive. That's what makes this video amazing. Also you would never know if you were listening to a real guitar or a keyboard when you buy someones CD all you hear is the song. They're not going to tell you.

      Ameretsu Shidori Did you watch the same video? This is a far cry from the "expressiveness" of even a poor guitarist, let alone the guy he is trying to emulate. Besides, I have personally heard people play the same sounds on a keyboard with a pitch bend pedal. Hell, you can even throw a high pass filter in there to selectively bend notes and recombine them with the low notes for under $100.
      Tell me again, what is the point of this if everything it does is already possible or done better elsewhere?

If they show me something that has never been possible with the same setup, substituting this new device with a nice keyboard and a pitch bend pedal, I'll see that I was wrong. However, I have yet to see something really revolutionary.

      If you're going to argue that you can just use a guitar, you're a dumbass of epic proportions, completely missing the point. This device is not a guitar emulator, it's a keyboard that's expressive enough to do a passable guitar, which is unprecedented in history. Obviously that expressiveness can be used for everything _else_ keyboards do, most of which has nothing to do with guitar.

      Digital always sounds better. There is more room in the digital domain to reproduce quality. Analog shaves off a ton of high end to get that "warm sound". But what you are talking about is just good sampling quality. And sampling has always been digital. But the main reason why this sounds so good is not the sample quality, it's how amazingly creative the artist is at playing that pad keyboard.

      He's using a daisy chain of real guitar pedals on the mix bus channel that contains the guitar samples. It's most likely just an average kontakt guitar. But he couldve also taken the time to make his own sample library of guitar one shots. And i assume you understand the dynamics that the roli provides with its glide/portamento functionalities. That's really the most important thing to achieving this sound - the keyboard itself

      Most musicians, including guitarists and keyboardists play music, very few actually compose, and even fewer actually create scores; not sure why you'd consider that shallow.

    This is more a Marco Parisi demo than a Seaboard Demo.
    Amazing talent but you have to be trained especially for this new instrument, even if you're a great keyboard player. Jamie Cullum tried it and nothing interesting came out of the session from what I saw on youtube. Stevie Wonder tried it and the video has been edited so we just see him sing along Marco Parisi. So I'm bit sceptical about this new product even if I'll give it a try as soon as possible.

It certailny does take some getting used to, but that comes quite quickly :) Meanwhile, Marco is the best seaboardist I've seen so far but I have to disagree with the opening statement. It takes a guy who knows how to use an instrument to demo it properly and this is exacty it. Otherwise demoing it wouldn't make much sense ;)

    • @jacobbetz9657
      @jacobbetz9657 8 років тому

      Actually Roland Lamb, the founder of Roli, said that it definitely will take some getting used to for most people, but that multi-instrumentalists seem to pick it up fairly quickly. He specifically said that musicians who play guitar and keyboard/piano seem to pick it up instantaneously.

    Its just another tool to express emotions, its never about what u use, but what u do with it
    & every soundengineer knows that many guitar players use distortion to hide the lack of technique & skills
    & often only want to hear & think about themselves when recording a track or doing a soundcheck, which is fckn annoying
    besides MIDI is never too wasted or too late for a rehearsal & is silent during the mixdown :)
