ROLI announces Seaboard RISE 2 next-gen MPE controller

Discover infinite possibilities with Seaboard RISE 2, a keyboard designed for limitless exploration of sound. Re-engineered from the multi-award-winning original to be more intuitive and powerful than ever before, RISE 2 is the new pinnacle of musical expression.

Every Seaboard performance is entirely unique. Express yourself effortlessly in the moment with organic gestures and enjoy all the inspiring immediacy of an acoustic instrument. How you make music will never be the same.

On a piano keyboard you control sound in just one way: the force of strike on each key. On the soft, silicone surface of Seaboard RISE 2, you’ll shape sound with 5 intuitive movements.

Play with confidence on a tactile, continuous 49-key surface designed for complete self-expression.

More accessible to keyboard players than ever before, the Keywave2 design refines the revolutionary shape of the original Seaboard surface with wider keys and honed edges. Embossed ridges let you accurately feel every key — and feel your music.
