in General App Discussion

Hello folks!
I'm interested in the Roli Seaboard so I downloaded Noise and tried it in Garageband and it sounded very nice. The keyboard in GB let me play with slides and bends and it was very expressive and reacted when I moved my fingers up/down. Sliding my fingers across all notes made a smooth slide sound. I loaded Noise in my favorite app Cubasis and to my disappointment I could not control Noise the way I did in GB. So I tried Noise with AUM and BM3 and it was the same as in Cubasis. Does this mean that the Roli Seaboard will work in GB but not Cubasis, AUM and BM3 (at least the way it's designed to work)?
Thank you

  • those other daws arent setup for MPE (which is what the seaboard uses and what GB tries to approximate with the on screen pitchbending

    the seaboard will work with the other daws, but it may take some work arounds to get it to work in MPE mode

    Ok thank you for your answer. But will the seaboard work with Noise loaded inside Cubasis or the other DAWs? I guess Noise will not receive MPE data from seaboard when loaded inside Cubasis.

  • right now noise doesn't receive midi on its own. so you'd have to get the daw to understand MPE, right now GB is best at it, but there might be multi channel work arounds. (or roli might later update noise to take midi)

  • Is Auria Pro compatible with MPE? I guess I’ll ask Rim.

  • Thank you @RubenDari
    @LFS is MPE coming to Cubasis in a not too distant future?

  • I was surprised to see the MPE working with AU... didn’t know this was possible. Makes Animoog AU even more desirable.

  • If you bought the Animoog midi expansion you can do the same in Cubasis as you can in GarageBand by using Animoogs keyboard to play the Noise AU

    so you send midi from animoog-iphone, to the Noise AU? where do you host the garageband Au? i’m interested to try your setup

    will it do pitch sliding left and right too?

    I'm using the iPad version of Animoog and loading noise into Cubasis as AU.

    Well, guess I'll stick with GarageBand for a while, till the competitors have full MPE support :-)
    And GB offers other goodies. the built in drummer and Alchemy are sooooo great.

    But there are at least 2 bugs with GB running NOISE.

    First: with 4 tracks I start getting a message that the plugin was disabled because of an error. And the Popup box Message offers 2 buttons 'reactivate' and 'disable' Audio unit.

    Second: mixdown doesn't work properly, NOISE tracks have dropout in the sound. So forget about exporting the project as an audio file.

    Well, guess I can transfer the project to my Mac, import in Logic, find the according sounds in Equator and export an MP3 from there. Hope that will work. This way I can use the simplicity of GB iOS to create and finish on a full blown DAW.

    Yes. So far I’ve been experimenting with just 1 or 2 noise tracks at a time in GB. Then bounce to Audio within GB before adding more.

    The only other issue here is that whenever you bounce a track GB creates backup copies of the project so there are endless projects all over the place.

  • Noise works fine with AUM and my seaboard blocks. Even with mpe.

    Ok thanks. I was hoping to hear this from someone. I'll order the seaboard block right away. Thanks.

    Did you have to do any workarounds or did it just work?

  • GeoShred is an excellent MPE controller. It has several MIDI presets for how to output its MIDI and works well with Noise, Animoog, and the PPG apps. You need to be aware of setting the MIDI parameters to match whatever synth(s) you're using (e.g. pitchbend range) to get the most out of such a setup.

  • Thank you @InfoCheck it was geoshred that got me interested in roli blocks.

    For those with Macs GarageBand on Mac can load iOS GarageBand projects direct from the cloud.

  • I got a SeaboardRise today!Noise-Au works as expcted in Aum,AuriaPro,AB:All you have to do is put the input channel to ALL.Then it works (on an iPadPro) like when connected to an iMac running Equator.
    Still waiting for an update concerning the two SWAM -Packs which still do not appear in NoiseAu!!!

  • @Schimanski great news! Can't wait for the seaboard.

  • I've bought a seaboard block,it's really fantastic in Noise (standalone),but can`t play like you in GB ('..Sliding my fingers across all notes made a smooth slide sound...',it's not happen on my ipad pro 9.7).However i try to setting, it just like a normal keyboard in GB.

  • yes dude,i`ve turned it on,but it still no working.BUT~Seaboard block work great on my Noise and Geosherd..../-
