ROLI is a London-based music technology company known for its expressive musical instruments and music education technology. The company is best known for the ROLI Seaboard, a MIDI controller with a soft, continuous silicone surface that allows pitch bending and timbral control through touch. ROLI was founded by musician and entrepreneur Roland Lamb in 2009. Its instruments have been used by musicians including Grimes, A. R. Rahman, and Hans Zimmer.
The company's current flagship is the ROLI Piano System, an AI-powered piano learning platform that combines light-up keyboards with the Airwave hand-tracking device and the ROLI Learn app. The system uses infrared cameras to see the player's hands and conversational AI to respond to voice, providing real-time personalised feedback on technique.
