abacab Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 $1399 USD list price. Got two emails from ROLI, and no discount code. There isn't even a place to enter one in the shopping cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulo Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 IIRC they went bust with big debts last year. It seems that they have just started up again under a new name. I wouldn't give them a penny. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Good thing that I don't have a spare $1399 sitting around... Would probably settle for a Sensel Morph, but they are perpetually out of stock. https://morph.sensel.com/pages/morph-availability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could think of plenty of guitar gear for that price that doesn't rely on OS requirements or driver updates. As a wind player I could think of plenty of stuff.

As a wind player I could think of plenty of stuff. Most guitar players have spent more than the price Seaboard Rise 2 on a single guitar let alone the cost of the gear it takes to use it or record it.

locrian Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 Despite the seemingly cool/expressive potential for MPE, there's a surprisingly meager choice of MPE controllers and VIs. It seems that developers spend more time finding ways to make our music sound worse than better (I'm referring to the recent deluge of lo fi plugins). Strange... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer - I don't have an MPE controller yet, so I cannot comment on the accuracy or reliability of this info. But since I do have some of the listed compatible instruments I have been watching the market for an affordable controller. The choice of instruments started out meager, but is steadily growing. Agree that the choice of controllers is still meager. List of MPE controllers: https://www.soundonsound.com/sound-advice/mpe-midi-polyphonic-expression Best MPE synths include Arturia Pigments, ROLI Equator, Audio Modeling SWAM, and several by U-he [Hive, Diva, Repro, Bazille]: https://www.idesignsound.com/best-mpe-vst-synths-samplers-effects/ Many other synths include MPE now, such as various Cherry Audio synths, Surge, Synthmaster, Dawesome Abyss, Serum, NI Reaktor, UVI Falcon, etc. Not aware of many MPE samplers yet, other than Steinberg Halion, but SWAM has physically modeled real instruments that cover some of that ground.
