ROLI is redefining the piano experience with the launch of its flagship ROLI Piano and Piano AI Assistant, creating the most intelligent system for music learning and creation. Combined with the groundbreaking ROLI Airwave, this trio forms the ROLI Piano System, a game-changer for musicians of all levels.
The ROLI Piano features a 49-key expressive keyboard with full-sized, full-plunge depth keys, enhanced by ROLI’s patented BrightKey technology. These illuminated keys not only guide players but also offer polyphonic aftertouch and per-key pitch bend for unparalleled expressiveness. Paired with the Piano AI Assistant, this system introduces generative AI to make learning piano more intuitive, engaging, and fun.
Learning piano has always been challenging, but the ROLI Piano System changes the game. With ROLI Airwave’s infrared cameras tracking 27 points in each hand at 90 frames per second, learners receive real-time feedback on hand positioning, finger placement, and technique. The Piano AI Assistant acts as a personal coach, offering tailored lessons, music theory insights, and even answering questions about chords, scales, and music history.
For music creators, the ROLI Piano System unlocks a new level of creativity. The ROLI Piano’s 49 keys feature polyphonic aftertouch and respond to Four Dimensions of Touch, allowing for expressive control of MPE sounds. The illuminated keys also help musicians explore scales, chords, and arpeggios, making it a versatile studio tool.
When paired with ROLI Airwave, the system takes creativity even further. Musicians can use Five Dimensions of Air—gestures like raising, gliding, and tilting their hands—to shape sounds in real-time.
