Block Expression Controller for Lightpad and Seaboard Block.
Touch Block
Take full control over the five dimensions of touch of your Lightpad Block
and Seaboard Block, and change the way each instrument responds to touch.
Key Features
Strike
- Adjusts the sensitivity of Seaboard and Lightpad Blocks to the
velocity with which initial contact is made. When turned to zero, the
Blocks automatically play each note at maximum volume no matter how
hard the surface is struck.
Glide
- Adjusts the sensitivity of Seaboard and Lightpad Blocks to lateral
finger movements. At maximum glide, the surfaces are completely
continuous, like a violin’s fretboard, whereas at minimum glide the
surfaces behave more like a piano keyboard, with discrete keys that are
unresponsive to sideways movements.
Slide
- Adjusts the sensitivity of Seaboard and Lightpad Blocks to up-down
finger movements, allowing you to dictate whether you use the whole key
for modulating a sound parameter, or just a slight finger movement.
Press
- Adjusts the sensitivity of Seaboard and Lightpad Blocks to the
pressure with which a note is held.
Lift
- Adjusts the sensitivity of Seaboard and Lightpad Blocks to the rate
at which fingers are removed from the surface.
Strike Lock
- Fixes the strike (velocity) dimension to a specific value, which is
adjustable using the +/- buttons. Perfect if you need to ensure you
play every note at the same volume.
Glide Lock
- Also known as “Portamento Mode”, this automatically glides the pitch
between one note and the next note played, at a rate adjusted by the
+/- buttons.
Piano Mode
- Removes all touch response except for strike (velocity) so your Block
responds in just the same way a traditional piano does.
