ROLI is creating the future of musical expression. It started with the Seaboard, an award-winning digital keyboard that you can play with all the depth and nuance of an acoustic instrument. ROLI now makes a huge range of music-making tools — from pocket-sized drum pads like the Lightpad Block to all-in-one systems like the Songmaker Kit. Its devices are incredibly expressive, and they’re also accessible. So whether creators are learning musical skills or honing their technique, they can make music in new ways with ROLI.

ROLI investors include Sony Innovation Fund, Foundry Group, Firstmark Capital, Balderton Capital, Founders Forum, and Pharrell Williams (ROLI's Chief Creative Officer).

Music creation hardware includes: Seaboard RISE 25, Seaboard RISE 49, Seaboard Block, Lightpad Block, Loop Block, Live Block, and Touch Block.
Music creation software includes: Equator, Cypher2, Strobe2, and the NOISE for iOS app.
Platform products include the C++ audio coding framework JUCE.
