That looks pretty cool!

Here is some more direct info...

Unfortunately, the pricing is in Hans Zimmer's league as well, especially for the full range one.

For the poor schmoe's like me... I'm probably going to get a QuNexus for starters. Still, the Seaboard looks really really nice. Thank you so much for posting that article!

How much ?

Looks like fun but then so does a McLaren P1..there's little chance I'll own either or even get to take one for a spin....

I'm in the same boat. Very much looking forward for the QuNexus that is difficult to obtain in Europe at the moment. The seaboard looks very good, but I'm also interested in the Soundplane from Madronalabs. Touching wood instead of plastic appears to me more appealing. Either way, pressure sensitivity is the key for a keyboard of the future.

Yeah, the Seaboard is out of reach, but Zebra isn't!!

Back on May 19, 2013 I started a thread on this forum concerning the Seabord. I wonder if Hans Zimmer lurks on this forum or posts anything with a screen name that does not give away his true identity.

If that is the case, then I hope you don't possess a lot of money.. it is hard to breathe under the weight of a lot of printed currency.

Zebra on CNN must be amazing to be the maker of that synth and see it on the news.

Urs you need to do a softsynth emulation of the Zebra looks like a good synth if HZ is using it on two screens.

Would love to get my hands on one of those. Can't think of a better synth to play it on than zebra either with so many possible things to modulate and the XY controller. I have this feeling it's gonna be out of my price range. :[

edit: $8,888 USD for a full size. Oh well.

I could also see myself hooking up omnisphere or Alchemy. Stutter edit?

Seriously stupid money. I think I will pass and give reality a go instead.

Same here. Not impressed. Someone wanna bet that he ain't gonna really use it so much...i mean that keayboard (obviously)

If someone told me I could have a single piece of 10k gear I definitely wouldn't pick a midi controller. I'd probably get one of these:

While it would be interesting to hear what somebody with some musical background/knowledge in microtonality/fine tunings could get out of this instrument, i think that it would take years of practise to be able to consciously finetune 2 or more notes at the same time....
(Specially if one considers that it takes lots of years for strings players until they can use intonation as a creative part of their interpretations...)

Hans Zimmer plays Zebra with the Seaboard (new keyboard)?
