The Seaboard Block includes an expressive playing surface (the
keywave
surface
), 2 octave switch buttons, a power button, a mode button, a USB-C
port, 4 DNA connectors, and wireless Bluetooth connectivity.
4.2 The Keywave Surface
The Seaboard Block features a continuous, elastic, silicone surface divided into
24 keywaves. Following the order of notes on a standard keyboard, the
keywaves represent the same pitches and intervals found on a piano. The
touch-sensitivity of the keywave surface allows tactile control of parameters
such as pitch, volume, and timbre,
all on a polyphonic, per-note basis,
through
simple, intuitive movements. The keywave surface is sensitive even to gentle
pressure, and strong force is not required to maximize its expressiveness.
While made of durable silicone, the keywave surface should not be pinched,
stretched, or pounded.
