Digital music is pleasing to the ears and the procedure of production is quite convenient. Despite of its high quality digital music has not been able to touch the heart of listeners like music created by traditional instruments. A bunch of creative musical instrument designers are working hard for reviving the physicality of musical instruments by amalgamating the features of traditional instruments with digital instruments.

A musical revolution has started and soon more people will start demanding new age musical instruments. Roland Lamb has created a smart, modern musical device named the Squishy Keyed Seaboard. This device combines the qualities of digital instruments and traditional instruments wonderfully.

Lamb confesses that though digital musical instruments are easy to control with the help of knobs, switches and movable faders, they do not satisfy him. Numerous music lovers and composers feel the same way as this CEO of technology startup ROLI based in East London. The Squishy is a piano like device that promises to revive the popularity of acoustic music by mixing it with digital convenience.

Lamb has brought back the physicality of music production with the help of physical keys just like a piano in his new instrument. The keys will enable music composers to change the quality of sound by altering the pitch and controlling the both timbre and volume. To change the pitch one just needs to slide a finger between the keys. The keys are very sensitive to pressure and offer the pleasure of real time music making. The best part of the Seaboard is that it senses gestures and the wave like keys lets users make music without raising fingers or straining.
