ROLI Seaboard RISE 49 Controller Keyboard Overview
An Overview of the ROLI Seaboard RISE 49 by GAKThe ROLI Seaboard RISE 49 is a revolutionary MIDI controller. Utilising 'keywaves technology', the Seaboard Rise 49 allows for a whole new level of musical expression. Intuitively recognising 5 different types of movement: from gliding, striking, pressing, sliding and lift, now musicians can create unique sounds which combine the deep expressiveness of an acoustic instrument with the versatility of an electronic instrument. The Rise 49 is made with a super-thin design and an anodised aluminium chassis that will withstand the rigors of travel between your home and the studio. Using MIDI over Bluetooth, it can be played wirelessly.
Each Seaboard RISE 49 comes with a custom soft case!

- The Seaboard RISE 49 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.
- Strike: The velocity and force with which a finger makes contact with a keywave.
- Glide: Horizontal movements from side to side on a keywave or along the keywave surface.
- Slide: Vertical movements up and down a keywave.
- Press: The continuous pressure applied to the keywave after the initial strike.
- Lift: The release velocity or speed of liftoff from a keywave.
- The Seaboard RISE 49 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 49 pairs with the mobile sound engine NOISE, available as a free App Store download for iPhones and iPads running iOS 9 .
- The Seaboard RISE 49 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 49 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.
- A USB cable powers the Seaboard RISE 49 and automatically charges its internal battery. The battery supports up to 12 hours of wireless play using MIDI over Bluetooth.
