MIDI-controller Roli Seaboard RISE 49

Roli Seaboard RISE 49

Seaboard RISE is a multi-award-winning, next-generation MIDI-controller that gives you unlimited control of sound. A soft, continuous, touch-responsive surface replaces the keys of a traditional keyboard. With expression at your fingertips, a new way of making music is on the Rise.

Every movement is musical

On a piano keyboard you control sound in one way: the force of strike on the keys. The soft silicone keywaves of Seaboard RISE 49 open up a new way to shape sound and make music through Five Dimensions of Touch. These movements are intuitive, so you can quickly start playing with far more expression than ever before.

• Strike to sound a note
• Glide your fingers from side to side to bend the pitch, simulating the effect of vibrato on a string instrument
• Slide up and down to modulate a sound — for example, to add brightness, texture, or depth
• Press into the keywaves to deepen sounds, simulating the effect of breath on a wind instrument
• Lift to change a sound’s resonance

Hands-on control of music software

Seaboard RISE comes with high-powered programs from RISE and other cutting-edge music software makers: Equator, Strobe2, Seaboard Dashboard, Bitwig 8-Track, Noise, Products, Equator.

An interface you can grasp

Simple is beautiful. Knobs, wheels, cords and clutter are gone. In its place is a sleek, simplified interface that is totally intuitive. It’s all based on touch.

Add more control with Touch Faders

The Press, Glide, and Slide Touch Faders let you adjust the touch-responsiveness of the Seaboard RISE interface. Control how the surface behaves when you press into it and move your fingers side to side and up and down. Minimize these expression controls, and Seaboard RISE responds like a piano keyboard. Maximize them, and you have a totally expressive playing surface.

Take it with you, make music on the go

Seaboard RISE 49 is designed to travel anywhere you make music. It’s thin, wireless, and portable. With a super-strong aluminum shell, it can put up with the rigors of the road. A padded, custom-made carrying case makes it even easier to play on the go.
