The ideal combination of functionality and portability, the 61-keywave Stage is as comfortable in front of a live audience as it is in the studio, making it ideal for performers and producers alike.The Seaboard GRAND is a radically new musical instrument that reimagines the piano keyboard as a soft, continuous surface and puts expression back at your fingertips. For centuries, keyboardists have been forced to accept the velocity of their key strikes marking the end of that note's expressive potential. With the Seaboard GRAND, however, this interaction is merely the beginning. Intuitive gestures such as presses, bends and slides open new avenues to musical expression.Invented by company founder, and graduate of Harvard University and the Royal College of Art, Roland Lamb, the Seaboard GRAND essentially turns a piano keyboard into one continuous touch surface, extending the expressive range beyond what's possible with a conventional keyboard. Its raised "keys" flex under a player's touch for pressure-sensitive volume and timbre adjustment and dynamic pitch modulation. Touch-sensitive ribbons run along the top and bottom of the interface for precise pitch control, and there's a continuous rotary SoundDial top center that's edged by an LED status light and allows the player to move between the instrument's default presets.Key Features:Multidimensional ModulationUse intuitive Strike, Bend, and Press gestures to control multiple parameters on each note, completely independently. Tailor each gesture's response to your own unique playing style using customisable transfer curves.Hybrid SynthesisA mix of wavetable oscillators, Frequency Modulation, sample playback, multimode filters, and complex signal routing creates a powerful hybrid synthesis engine. Use different single-cycle waves for FM, layer with samples, send into several multi-mode filters with different configurations and outputs.More Features:• Continuous Touch
