ROLI tactile keyboards attract leading investment houses
London music start-up ROLI, whose award-winning product, the Seaboard GRAND keyboard, met with unexpectedly strong demand creating waiting lists of up to a year, is now poised to scale production and expand globally. The music technology start-up designed the Seaboard GRAND keyboard, reimagining the piano keyboard as a soft, continuous surface with polyphonic pitch bend, vibrato and per-note dynamic changes. The concept amazed visitors at the NAMM Show 2014, marrying the intuitiveness of a traditional instrument with the versatility of digital technology.
