Read the full Mad Keys interview: roli.com/stories/mad-keys-meets-lumi-keys-laying-down-jazzy-hip-hop-beats

Mad Keys (Brandon McCadney) is a prolific music producer, beat maker, keyboardist, and violinist. Influenced by artists as diverse as D'Angelo, Herbie Hancock, Flying Lotus, J. Dilla and Kaytranada, his music is a winning combition of hip-hop, soul, jazz and a little bit of house.

Mad Keys on In Orbit:
This piece came together organically after scrolling through ROLI Studio sounds. I usually do a lot of my production early in the morning, so changing the lighting in my room played a major role in the inspiration for the track. In the evening I’m slowing down for the day, so a more downtempo tune felt so good in the moment.

For the intro textures, I used a ROLI Studio patch called “Ivory Coast Koralimba” — then automated the cutoff and resonate frequencies to add more movement and roll off some of its initial plucking sound. When the beat comes in after the reverse triangle, I used another preset called “Oceanic Harp”. It's unlike any other sound I’ve heard. It has this nice harmonic sound after you release the keys at certain velocities, which gives the song a unique characteristic.

WHAT IS SEMITONE LEGATO?

Semitone Legato is a RISE 2 setting perfect for playing luscious, fluid leads and shimmering vibrato. In this setting, pitchbend between each note — the Glide Dimension of Touch — is set to maximum. Make sure it's switched on if you're recording a richly expressive or microtonal part, such as a bowed-string instrument melody.

Semitone Legato is on by default when the Glide Fader is set to 100%. You can adjust it on the RISE 2 control panel, or within your included ROLI Dashboard software.

PLAYING WITHOUT SEMITONE LEGATO

For Seaboard parts where you need plenty of distinct tones and semitones — for instance a melody line with many chromatic notes or a jazzy chord accompaniment — it’s often better not to activate Semitone Legato. As the Glide Dimension of Touch is turned down, each keywave will behave closer to distinct keyboard or piano keys, with less sensitivity to gliding, vibrato gestures.

To turn Semitone Legato off or down, simply adjust the Glide Fader below 100% on the side panel or in ROLI Dashboard. Don’t forget, you can adjust Glide in real time with the side panel Touch Fader — even mid-performance.

Any musical style is possible with Seaboard RISE 2: bit.ly/semitonelegato

Read the full GLASYS interview: roli.com/stories/glasys-and-lumi-keys-glowing-performances-and-midi-art

Gil Assayas — better known as GLASYS — has musical talent to spare. The keyboardist, composer and vocalist not only produces his own singular tracks, influenced by classical, jazz and video-game scores, but he's also played alongside diverse and legendary artists including Todd Rundgren and T-Pain.

GLASYS on Color Decoded:
I’ve always enjoyed creating with self-imposed limitations - for example, only using one instrument or one synth for the entire track. In this case, I wanted to showcase ROLI’s great software so I limited myself to only ROLI sound libraries: Equator2, ROLI Studio Drums and ROLI Studio Player. I programmed a few of my own sounds and also tweaked a bunch of presets — there’s tons of inspiring sounds in there. As a synth programmer the UI of Equator2 is very intuitive, so I could jump right into sound design.

The track itself is in an odd time signature (⅞) and doesn’t really have a clear melody. I started with a bassline and built the arrangement one layer at a time.

Seaboard Stories: How one MIDI controller changed my life

ROLI 2022-09-23 | Order Seaboard RISE 2: bit.ly/SeaboardStories

When was the last time a new instrument changed your life?

We asked songwriters, performers, producers and sound designers at the very top of their game to share how the Seaboard changed the music they make forever. From on-stage performances in front of thousands of fans, to sound design for blockbuster movies and top-title video games, one expressive MIDI controller has had an astonishing impact.

Take the story of Keyboard Sathya, whose hypnotic solos would not be possible without the Seaboard's ability to accurately imitate microtonal Indian instruments. Or Bill Laurence, whose percussive and pitch-bending performances are elevated by the 5 Dimensions of Touch possible on a Keywave surface. For some artists, including Marco Parisi and Neon Vines, Seaboard solos were an essential early stepping stone that raised awareness of their spectacular musicianship.

The Seaboard has transformed the world of production and sound design too. The trailers to Hollywood's biggest blockbusters — The Avengers, Top Gun: Maverick, Captain Marvel, The King's Man and The Sonic Movie to name just a few — would fail to pack a punch without the atmospheric sonic textures Robert Dudzic produces with the Seaboard. You may have even heard the Seaboard when playing your favorite video game; from the Pedro Camacho's soundtracks for titles like World Of Warcraft and Wolfenstein, to the sci-fi explosions in Cyberpunk 2077, crafted by Richard Devine from warped, recorded samples.

"If I had to choose one instrument, from now 'till I'm 100 years old, it would be the Seaboard" — Marco Parisi
