About ROLI
ROLI is a London-based music technology company that pioneered the MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) specification and the Seaboard — a revolutionary keyboard instrument with a continuous soft touch surface that enables expressive per-note pitch bend, vibrato, and pressure control unlike any traditional keyboard. Founded by Roland Lamb, ROLI has pushed music technology toward more expressive human-instrument interaction, collaborating with artists including Grimes, Imogen Heap, and Hans Zimmer. Beyond hardware, ROLI also developed NOISE, a music creation app, and has expanded into music education through the Lumi keyboard. Their software ecosystem includes the ROLI Studio platform built around Equator and Equator2 synthesizers optimized for MPE.
