Roli Seaboard RISE 25 MIDI Controller Overview:

Unlimited Controller
Seaboard RISE 25 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 25 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.

Add more control with Touch Faders
The Press, Glide, and Slide Touch Faders let you adjust the touch-responsiveness of the Seaboard RISE interface.

Maximize them, and you have a totally expressive playing surface.
