Hi friends:

Does anyone knows if it's possible to connect a Roli Seabord to PA4x the same way we connect Nanopad ?
I begin this topic because if that connection & correlative control is possible, this will expand our beast (pa4x).-
Perhaps technicians friends or Paolo could give some idea about it.-
With regards.
Eduardo

Hi Qui & Sam:

Thanks for your quick reply.-
If i don't misunderstud Roli won't work with PA4x.-
I also but taking in count what you've said, it won't work with Kronos.-
If so, what a pity.- I've seen some demos but i can't realize how they get such expresivity controls.-
Discarding Roli grand stage because of it's price, Roli should give and infinite power to expand musical horizons in tandem with Kronos & PA4x.
Thanks again for your knowledge.-
Eduardo

It seems Roli is more interested in selling you their sounds than in connectivity.
Understandable given that most of the Korg sounds wouldn't respond that well to the inputs anyway.
On the bright side you could have a neat setup with the iPhone version.

Have any of you found out more about it? Has anyone tested it after OS next installation?

There are videos on YouTube that confirming Genos does work with seaboard, it's a shame if pa4x doesn't

This may,or may not be relevant,but I use my DM48,a midi wind controller,in my Pa4X,and assign it to Upper 3. I does not need the Midi host either.

Some of the Roli’s big advantages simply don’t work on the Korg (or most older keyboards). Unless the keyboard has MPE (which are only just starting to come out with recently) then the things that make the Roli stand out, like different pressure for each note or different bending for each note simply can’t happen.

The Korg is strictly old school, controllers are per channel not per note.

So even if you could hook the two together (with a USB MIDI to regular MIDI converter, for instance), much of what makes the Roli great would be lost in translation.
