An interface you can grasp

Simple is beautiful. Knobs, wheels, cords and clutter are gone. In its place is a sleek, simplified interface that is totally intuitive. It’s all based on touch.

  2. XY Touchpad

  3. Touch Faders

  4. Octave Shift

  5. Preset Browser

The Press, Glide, and Slide Touch Faders let you adjust the touch-responsiveness of the Seaboard RISE interface.
