In

the three Touch Faders control the dynamics of the

, and
Press
dimensions of touch. Setting the Touch Faders at different levels changes the
sensitivity of the
keywave surface
to touch and therefore alters expression when you play.
Expression Mode
is designed to let you modify the expressiveness of the Seaboard RISE
to suit specific sounds and your individual playing style.
Touch Faders
The left touch fader controls the dynamics of Glide
, or sideways movements of the finger
on
keywaves
or along ribbons. When the
Glide
Touch Fader is set to minimum, sideways
movements will not bend pitch. The instrument is in Piano Mode, and it will respond like a
standard keyboard. When the Touch Fader is set to maximum, the
keywave surface
is
maximally sensitive to sideways movements, and even minute movements will result in pitch
bend.
Note: The illumination of the
Glide
Touch Fader corresponds to the level of the
keywaves’
sensitivity to the
Glide
movement.
The center touch fader controls the dynamics of Slide
, or vertical movements up and
down the keywave. When the
Slide
Touch Fader is at a lower setting, the spectrum of sound
available for modulation along the Y axis of the keywave is narrower. This means that you
can reach the maximum end of the range of modulation with a shorter movement up or down
a keywave. When the
Slide
Touch Fader is at a higher setting, the spectrum of sound
available along the Y axis is wider. This means that your finger must travel a greater
distance to reach the maximum end of the range of modulation, and you will be able to
access a wider range of intermediate sounds along the vertical path of travel.
Note: The illumination on the Slide Touch Fader corresponds to the distance that must be
travelled between the two poles of the sound available for modulation.
The right touch fader controls the dynamics of Press
, or the response of the
keywave
surface
to continuous pressure applied after
Strike
. When the
Press
Touch Fader is at a
lower setting, the spectrum of sound available to modulate through pressure is narrower.
This means that you can reach the maximum end of the range of modulation through lighter
pressure on the
keywave surface
. When the Press Touch Fader is at a higher setting, the
spectrum of sound available through pressure is wider. This means that you will press more
firmly to reach the maximum end of the range of modulation, and you will be able to access
a wider range of intermediate sounds as you vary pressure on the
keywave surface
.
Note: The illumination on the
Press
Touch Fader corresponds to the depth of pressure that
must be exerted to travel between the two poles of the sound available for modulation.
XY Touchpad
In
Expression Mode
, you can control any sound parameter in
Equator
through touch along
the X and Y axis of the XY Touchpad. The XY Touchpad provides two assignable MIDI
