The 25-key ROLI Seaboard RISE 25 has been available to musicians since 2015, but it was expanded into 49 keys in 2016 with the ROLI Seaboard RISE 49. In an official press release, ROLI called it a “favorite instrument of artists as diverse as AR Rahman, FINNEAS, Jordan Rudess, Grimes, will.i.am, RZA and 40.” The Seaboard RISE 2 is basically a modern update to the Seaboard RISE 49, but it’s also a much higher-quality device. Instead of plastic, the Seaboard RISE 2 is made of platinum blue aluminum. Instead of using outdated ports, it can connect using MIDI Out and USB-C.
The new surface, called Keywave2, is supposedly even tighter and more responsive than its predecessors as well. While the earlier keypad looks sort of rubbery, the RISE 2 features “precision frets” that are subtle at first glance — they sit higher on flat keys and lower on natural keys — but could give a good amount of feedback to help musicians register their finger placement on the keys, much like traditional keys normally do. It also comes with the esteemed Equator2 synth plugin and over 1,400 presets. You’ll be able to pre-order the ROLI Seaboard RISE 2 keyboard today for $1,399, but there’s no exact release date. For now, ROLI is launching its new keyboard in batches.
