Hot on the heels of the successful launch of ROLI Airwave in October 2024, ROLI is launching its new flagship keyboard for learners and creators alike. A larger keyboard – with all the smarts of Piano M – has long been the number one request from customers, and today ROLI is delivering on that, while also integrating powerful new AI functionality.
ROLI Piano delivers a 49-key expressive keyboard complete with full-sized, full-plunge depth keys that feel and sound phenomenal. These larger keys feature ROLI’s unique, patented BrightKey technology that light up to show you which notes to play. They also offer enhanced per-key pitch bend and polyphonic aftertouch capabilities for a more expressive playing experience. This groundbreaking combination establishes it as the most advanced and versatile keyboard on the market.
Also launching today is ROLI’s Piano AI Assistant, the first step in using generative AI to make learning to play easier, more intuitive and more fun than ever before. Piano AI will help you get started, teach you music history and theory, and give useful prompts on new things to learn. An exciting roadmap of future updates is planned for 2025.
“In a few years time, it will seem antiquated that a piano or keyboard can’t help guide you, can’t see your hands and respond to them in many ways, and can’t have a conversation to help you. Today, we’re unveiling the new ROLI Piano System that will help usher in this big shift,” said Roland Lamb, Founder and CEO of ROLI.
When you combine ROLI Piano, the Piano AI Assistant, and Airwave – ROLI’s computer vision innovation – you get the most intelligent and intuitive system for musical learning and creation ever made: The ROLI Piano System.
The new ROLI Piano System will be on full display for demos at the NAMM Conference in Anaheim, CA from January 23rd – 26th, 2025.
ROLI Piano is available for pre-order today for a special early bird price of $399 USD (regular $599 USD), shipping in April 2025. The Piano AI Assistant will be available for immediate use in the ROLI Learn App in the next few days.
