Sure you can make slides but not as smooth as a theremin (which is possible with 3D touch).pdxindy wrote:Cinebient wrote:Of course that is another thing.pdxindy wrote:Let's see someone do this on their phone! (not a chance)Cinebient wrote:
Sorry, but the Seaboard rise is not nearly as expressive as 3D touch on a freking smartphone (yes, beside velocity)!!!

I believe you with the bugginess and your general assessment... nevertheless, the Rise is still beautifully expressive.
I don't know how slow a slide you want to do... but in the hour I spent at the shop playing the Rise49, it did not seem to be a problem to do a slide up say an octave... I did notice that it took some practice to get the result I wanted. I expect some learning curve and training in its use.
I've still held off from a purchase, waiting for the reports of bugs to improve...
When i move my finger very slowly from one note to another i clearly can hear a jump rather than a smooth pitch. I also can hear it with faster long glides. Even on 100%. When i put the glide under 60% it's really not so nice while the app gives me a really nice smooth slope.
It's a kind of micro stepping but i wish it could do better.
But the different is huge! It's like the Seaboard always quantize to at least an 1/4 note or so. It's sometimes very useful but i would like to had an option to turn that off to go into microtonal things. But i think it's not possible due to the hardware is build i think. If yes it would be nice for an update!
