About
A tactile instrument built for musicians who value expressive control over shortcuts. The ROLI Seaboard 2 takes the soft silicone keywave surface and refines it with subtle ridges, giving clearer pitch centers without losing that fluid feel. Its 5D Touch is the star: Strike sets velocity, Press adds depth like breath, Slide shapes brightness and texture, Glide handles precise pitch bends, and Lift crafts the tail of a note for natural resonance.
Design upgrades land where they matter. The anodized aluminum chassis in Ebony Black feels solid and premium, while the side panel’s XY pad and three Touch Faders let you dial responsiveness fast. Connectivity is modern with USB C, MIDI, Bluetooth, plus a built in battery rated for up to eight hours, working smoothly across major DAWs and MPE instruments.
Pairing with Equator2 unlocks a deep library of six sound engines, 1,400 plus presets, and creative effects tuned for Seaboard 2. Add Airwave to track hand movements above the surface for more dimensions of expression. For film scoring, live performance, and sound design, this expressive MIDI keyboard delivers nuance you can actually control.
