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.

    Superb control and sound
    Perhaps the best synth app I have ever used on iOS. Amazing sound and control!! Mesmerizing to play.

    Great For It’s Intended Purposes
    I love this app. People who have vast amounts of knowledge and experience with midi/mpe, just like experts in any field, tend to be critical. That should be expected. This app allows you to play your seaboard with your phone. It has some built in sounds. It’s free. It’s not a replacement for any of their amazing software, but it does what it’s supposed to do and I love it. Show more

    Not Polyphonic?
    I see from videos that this is supposed to be polyphonic, however it is not so for me. I cannot play more than one note at a time with any sample. I'm not sure why it is like this but it makes it not very useful. Is there a setting I'm missing? I can't find one. Could also use a way to turn off the reverb. Show more

    How do you record audio? No update in over 3 years
    What is the point? Why buy sound packs if there is no method of recording anything. No inter app audio no audiobus. No nothing.

    I have an issue.
    I spent real money on added sounds but it won’t let me download them. It always says fails to connect the store. It never installs no matter how much I press Show more

    A toy that’s useless for recording
    The sounds themselves are very very good, but without IAA or Audiobus it’s useless for recording. If this had AUV3 I’d give it 5 stars, if it had IAA 4 stars, but as is 1 is about as high as I’m willing to rate it. Bummer Show more

    Needs effects bypass option
    Pleeeease just let us disable the effects, it would make this synth so much more useful. The interface itself is really fun and musical, and some of the patches are nice, but not being able to bypass the effects makes it basically useless. Show more

    Very limited and disappointing
    The ROLI Seaboard is an amazing instrument, but unfortunately this app has so many limitations that I can’t call it anything but a toy. People have been complaining about the very same set of issues for years, but ROLI hasn’t been doing anything about it, hence my 1 star. Issues that still exist from 2 years ago: - There’s no way to change effects on the voice packs (free or paid). All the voices are full of reverb and other effects. - No inter-app or Audiobus support. The only way to use the full power of the Seaboard is by using this app, but unfortunately it doesn’t integrate with any other app. - If you buy a sound pack here, you can’t reuse it on Noise. You have to buy again. I don’t understand why one has to login using a ROLI account if that doesn’t serve any purpose. That’s ridiculous. Other issues include: - Login/password field doesn’t work with the iOS password manager (or any other). This is minor bu very annoying since all my password are generated. - In general the UI does not feel native... Scrolling is weird, there’s no way to search for voice packs (when you buy all the packs it gets though). - No background sound support. If you need to take a sheet music to play a song it stops working. This is not an inexpensive instrument, so I don’t expect accompanying apps to be that cheap. If money is the problem, just charge an in-app purchase to unlock advanced features, but do something to make this app decent. Show more

    Favorite App, Apple ? keep 3D Touch on iOS!!
    This is my favorite App! Was at Apple store tonight showing it to sales people who all wanted to put it in those phones too. I bought all the sounds as well and love them. I bought a new XS Max just because I heard it was the last device with real 3D Touch!! Makes a big difference! Tried on XR... not as cool ? without real pressure. I really hope Apple keeps 3D Touch working on iOS for those that bought products because of this feature! Wish 3D Touch was on iPad pros! Hope ROLI will add audio/midi connectivity so I can use this with Equator on Laptops or Garageband... Can I? Show more
