The Roli Seaboard Rise is a revolutionary MIDI keyboard that allows artists the long-sought ability to play inaccessible notes on a normal keyboard piano, bend the pitch with simple pressure, and play vibrato. Prior to this device, many musicians would need to either play live instruments to achieve the affect or simulate it using software in production. Roland Lamb, an American entrepreneur in Britain, launched the company in 2009 and it quickly caught on. He considered the alternatives to existing MIDI keyboards and found their differences small and their abilities compartmentalized. He decided to mix many of the features that previously existed as separate twist knobs on prior devices into the 5D range of the Roli Seaboard Rise. Due to the originality of the device it gave the Roli company a perception as an innovative, creative brand. They have lived up to this perception, releasing inventive new accessory after inventive new accessory to their existing model
This is so interesting! I love the idea! The fact that it is portable and small, yet it allows artists to play notes they otherwise could’nt is great! It is also very convenient.
