ROLI introduced the Seaboard RISE in September 2015. The RISE adapts the technology of the award-winning Seaboard GRAND to a smaller, lighter, more accessible music-making device. The RISE is an Expressive MIDI controller with five dimensions of touch, enabling musicians to modulate sounds with five powerful gestural controls. It ships with Equator, ROLI's custom-built software synthesizer that enables creators to benefit from the full potential of Expressive MIDI. Fully wireless with MIDI over bluetooth, the Seaboard RISE offers great flexibility to musicians of all abilities at home, in studio, in classrooms and on stage.
