welcome back I'm back because I have huge news the latest update with the
Seaboard bloc has just blown my mind and been a game changer so that's why I had
to make another video real quick so here's what happened so I ordered the
Seaboard block and it was late and Ronnie's been really nice about okay we
were late about shipping your stuff so here's a free sound pack so far there's
been two free things one they gave a free noise app sound pack which is not
really useful for me because I'm really using this with my with my laptop and
not with my phone or iPad but just the other days like two days ago they sent
an email saying once again sorry for the shipping delay we're gonna give you the
full version of the equator software for free so that's a $79 piece of software
so that's if you if you already had a quite a player I believe that it that if
you upgrade to the full equator software its $79 but if you buy it right off the
bat like if you wanted to use it with the blocks I think you have to pay 179
the email said it was $79 but $79 for 179 it is worth every penny has
completely changed the game with the Seaboard block for me and so check it
out so once you've sent me the link immediately the equator software once I
activated it looked completely different so here congratulations you have
unlocked equator if I get rid of that now before this is the normal equator
player software this is what it looks like now when you have the full version
you get all these options for modifying things modifying the filters you can you
can change the reverb the EQ this and and monitor strike and glide and all
that sort of stuff so it's really cool the software is really cool but more
important than that is what happens up here with the presets so now when you go
into presets you just get a ton of more presets than you ever had so you get all
the presets that came with the rise and with the the Seaboard grande so both of
the other see boards the larger see words you get all of those and the
reason that has changed the game is because you finally get those
instruments that really are taking full advantage of the expressiveness of the
Seaboard block so right now I'm playing solo strings
dad
that kind of thing there is no way that you could play without a bunch of knobs
or sliders on a regular MIDI keyboard and get that kind of control with a
stringed instrument like like a cello like I'm playing now or we got the
octave a little bit here
I mean listen to that you can't do that with a regular keyboard now the reason I
was I wasn't this excited before when I had just the sounds of the that that the
Seaboard block comes with because a lot of those instruments are electronic
instruments and stuff and you can get some similar types of results if you
mess around with filters and effects and things like that and turn a bunch of
knobs and and it's still cool it's still a lot of fun it's still very different
but when you're thinking about about acoustic instruments such as violins and
cellos and violas and strings it's a very different experience when you try
to play that and recreate a natural sound with a regular keyboard so this
really changes the game to get authentic real acoustic sounds so now now I've
played the string so this is the solo strings there are other string there's a
string section so that's what this sounds like
and there are a few other instruments that really sound amazing with with with
the full version of Equator one another one of them is the are the guitars the
acoustic guitars sounds great you get steel string guitars so you can
hear those bids and depending on how hard you strike it you get ax or a more
of the steel side of opposed or resonating not sure what the slide does
but I haven't played around with it a lot but you can just tell it right off
the bat that this is this really changes the game when you want to recreate the
guitar sound on keyboard so I'm not a very good guitar so this really helps me
out I can actually play it on a keyboard and
still get the even the vibrato in there I think some of those little I mean
you've got all that you got control of all of that stuff now
I was trying a few other presets that I hadn't tried before such as the mellow
tape flutes which are recreating a mellow tone sounds now really what's
really cool about this you can get a bit of that tape delay sounded like you have
in old recordings by just shifting your fingers a little bit
awesome right TV ad on a regular keyboard without a lot of manipulation
so that's there and in total I think there were maybe around 200 or more
additional sounds that I didn't have with the block so this was really really
game-changing for me now if you've already ordered the if you've already
ordered the seaport block and it's delayed you're probably going to get an
email from them saying hey here's the full version of equator for you now if
you don't and you're still interested in buying it I strongly suggest that you
buy the full version of equator because that's where you really see the Seaboard
block shine so so there you have it I played just a few sounds it's time but
you really see these are the sounds I really wanted you to hear because this
is what's different now if you're interested in seeing my other videos on
the Seaboard block I made two other ones I'm going to link them down below and
also I used the sounds of the seaboard of equator on my latest travel video and
I'll link that down here too now I'm not getting paid by Raleigh to to make these
videos so if you do like them if you find them useful please help me out and
