The new ROLI Seaboard Block has finally arrived! The MIDI and music production community (myself included) have been waiting years for this announcement and it is finally here. The brand new Seaboard Block M is the next-generation multi-touch MIDI keyboard controller from the brand, delivering the ultra-expressive 5D MPE MIDI experience to the masses in a much more affordable package than most of the options on the market right now, including the brand’s flagship 2022 model Seaboard Rise that costs nearly $1,400.

ROLI unveils the next generation of its brilliant touch expressive Seaboard music controller
Today the folks at ROLI are finally introducing the new Seaboard – the next generation of its brilliant expressive 5D touch music controller known as the Seaboard Rise 2. These kinds of instruments, limited as they are, can be a real treat to play and are subsequently quite expensive. The ROLI Seaboard Blocks device that released way back in 2017– a personal favorite of mine we had a chance to go hands-on with for review and something I still use to this day – brought all of this into a price range for the rest of us and has since become very hard to get your hands on at retail. And now, after what feels like an eternity, it’s finally time for ROLI to unveil the next generation Seaboard, unfortunately this one isn’t nearly as affordable. Head below for a closer look and more details on the new Seaboard Rise 2.
