A dream piece of kit (and with its price it will remain just that), the Seaboard takes the layout of a piano and turns it into a soft continuous surface, allowing you to modulate the pitch, volume and timbre through one seamless motion, similar to the control surface of a Kaoss Pad. Sensitive to pressure, the polyphonic pitch-bend and vibrato functions give it action similar to a guitar, whilst the sustained notes respond to the subtlest alteration of touch, fluctuating from harder crescendos to soft resonance.
This would be a fantastic tool for scoring films with its intuitive design allowing for very expressive playing, especially when combined with further FX such as Delay, reverb and tremolo to enhance the already superb ambient quality. Sadly, with the full piano scale costing $8.888, and just three octaves costing $1.999 I won't be getting to play one anytime soon.
