Synthesizer Roli Seaboard GRAND Stage

Roli Seaboard GRAND Stage

Next generation synthesizer. Seaboard GRAND Stage is a premium performance synthesizer that inspires a new approach to music for the next-generation musician. It bridges the gap between electronic and acoustic sound, combining deep expressiveness and a huge sonic range in one plug-and-play instrument.

A smooth performance

An evolution of the piano keyboard, Seaboard GRAND replaces the black and white keys of a piano with a soft, rippling surface of keywaves. Striking the keywaves is the beginning of a multidimensional musical experience. Play in between the keywaves. Press, Glide, Lift, and discover a new mode of expression.

Button functions

• 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

A high-powered software engine

ROLI's high-powered Equator software is embedded into Seaboard GRAND, alongside a suite of cutting-edge music production software - Equator, Seaboard Dashboard, Strobe2.

A material difference

Seaboard GRAND combines premium craftsmanship and cutting-edge design. Underneath a hand-crafted exterior is a state-of-the-art software engine. It has the timeless elegance and enduring solidity of an older instrument. But after one moment of touch, you’ll know that it’s part of the future.
