it arrived today: first impresson: good, plays for me excelent, after 10 minutes adjusting.

i bought it as a replacement for my Novation SL 49 MKii, all the encoders etc. i don't use anymore, and i want a keyboard capable of Poly Aftertouch.

i will use it next to the Seabord blocks, for full MPE...

but also in MPE mode, or not.... the pitchbend by key, is very usefull..

i didn't set sensitivity, etc. but it plays out of the box, for me, as expected.

i will play the Piano (...) i combi with the Airwave. the latter will arrive, i guess, in 2 weeks (or more).

but first impression; yes good choice!

I'm early bird batch 4 as well, but haven't gotten mine yet. Your take sounds promising. Just what I'm hoping for. (I won't be adding the airwave, though.)

Yeah it takes up too much vertical space - would get in the way of my monitor screen

Sorry to quote myself. Just a correction. I'm actually batch 3 early bird, but, as I said, haven't gotten mine yet.

it also depends on where you are located.

in the Roli discord server there much more info, and also on Reddit, about batches/locations.

and also info about problems....... mostly Airwave...

but also Piano, i have problems with the Pitchbend; inconsistent. per key and per time you try it..

Mine is on the way apparently

It's arrived today - just had a bit of time for a play. So far very impressed, the build quality is way better than I expected, the whole unit feels very substantial and reassuringly heavy. Had no problem with playability - working well in MPE mode with Equator and also a synth I can't say more about till tomorrow ;)

I got mine a couple of weeks ago. Complete agreement on the Pitchbend. So far, I've found it nearly unusable as an actual Pitchbend, but fair (though still inconsistent) as tremolo. The Aftertouch/Press is also a bit fiddly, though not nearly to the level of the Pitchbend.
