DISC ROLI Seaboard RISE 25 Overview
Innovative keywave controller. The Seaboard RISE 25 is a revolutionary MIDI controller. It remodels the keyboard as a soft, continuous surface that responds to touch.
Playing on its unique ''keywaves'', music-makers shape sound through intuitive movements such as striking the keywaves, pressing into them, gliding from left to right along them, or sliding up and down them. A whole new level of expression becomes possible through the RISE 25's ''Five Dimensions of Touch''.
The instrument combines the deep expressiveness of an acoustic instrument with the versatility of an electronic instrument. The ROLI Seaboard RISE 25 now comes complete with the FXpansion STROBE2 software polysynth (worth 145 GBP).

View Full DescriptionFXpansion STROBE2
The Roli Seaboard now comes complete with the award-winning FXpansion STROBE2 software polysynth. The FXpansion STROBE2 software features a high-quality analog modelling engine with an in-depth effects section and an intuitive preset library browser. STROBE2 combines cutting-edge sounds with an ergonomic and easy-to-use interface that works perfectly in conjunction with all versions of the ROLI Seaboard. Building on its wide range of diverse sounds, the STROBE2 polysynth provides you with a variety of in-depth controls for creating your own sounds, including deep modulation processing, preset-morphing as well as being fully MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) compatible for natural and tactical 5D modulation. With its diverse range of sounds and intuitive and easy-to-use interface, the STROBE2 is the ideal companion for the ROLI Seaboard.
Five dimensions of touch
The Seaboard RISE 25 lets music-makers control sound through five dimensions of touch. This marks a progression from the piano keyboard where only one dimension of touch - Strike - controls sound. With the five dimensions of touch you can strike the notes as usual, glide side to side for seamless pitch bending, slide up and down to modulate a sound with cutoff, brightness and more, press down and continuously apply pressure to the keywave surface to simulate the natural dynamics of an instrument, and lift off the keywave to change the sound's resonance. The Seaboard RISE 25 provides you with far more expression allowing you to play and create music like never before.
Built for portability
The RISE 25 sets a new standard not only for expressiveness but also for portability. Using MIDI over Bluetooth, it can be played wirelessly. Its super-thin design makes it easy to carry, as does the custom-made Soft Case that comes with every RISE 25.
Its anodized aluminium chassis is designed to withstand the rigors of travel between home, studio, and gigs. A USB cable powers the Seaboard RISE 25 and automatically charges its internal battery. The battery supports up to 12 hours of wireless play using MIDI over Bluetooth so you can play and make music anywhere.
Wireless connectivity
The Seaboard RISE 25 transmits MIDI over Bluetooth to devices that support it. Mac devices running OS X 10.10 with a Bluetooth LE chip currently support MIDI over Bluetooth. The RISE 25 pairs with the mobile sound engine NOISE, available as a free App Store download for iPhones and iPads running iOS 9+.
Software compatibility
The Seaboard RISE 25 transmits MIDI over USB and Bluetooth to software across OS X and Windows platforms. Like other MIDI controllers, it connects to a range of digital audio workstations (DAWs). Unlike other controllers, the RISE 25 is a Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression (MPE) product that uses multiple channels of MIDI simultaneously. To ensure that the connection between ROLI software and third-party software is optimized for MPE, ROLI provides templates for working with all major DAWs.
Equator software synthesizer
Cord-free, the RISE 25 can control Equator, ROLI’s software synthesizer, on laptop or desktop. It can also work with only an iPhone through NOISE, ROLI’s mobile sound engine that is available for free download on the App Store.
