Subject[Csnd] Roli Seaboard and Csound

I've been doing some experiments with pairing up Csound with Maynooth's new Roli Seaboard. Here is a video of some of the results. (Sorry for the odd bit of distortion in the video.)

Very cool, Iain! Is the Roli linked up directly to Csound via MIDI or somesuch, or is there any additional hardware/software involved?

I played it once on one owned by a friend. Very expressive. It takes a while to play it correct musically, pitch-wise I mean.

SubjectRe: [Csnd] Roli Seaboard and Csound

It's a class-compliant device so you don't need any additional software. It does come with software to program its response curves and so on but most of this can be done in Csound. It also comes with its own software synthesiser but this is mostly pretty ghastly. 

It dynamically allocates new notes to new MIDI channels so that note-related controls (pitch-bend, pressure, y-location) are channelised and polyphonic. This makes designing an instrument in Csound very easy. It does, of course, assume that you don't want to press more than 16 notes simultaneously. 

It is using full 14-bit resolution for pitch-bend (which most hardware doesn't), nonetheless, at a pitch bend range of 8 octaves pitch steps are perceivable when moving very slowly. Reducing the pitch bend range (pitch bend and physical notes will no longer line up) will make it more useful for fine microtonal stuff.
