ROLI has released available a piano with rubber buttons

British startup Roli has released a new version of its synthesizer with rubber coating: it's slightly smaller and much more affordable. Seaboard Rise was created as the portable version of the instrument Seaboard Grand, released a few years ago. The product has only 25 keys — Roli calls them "kawanami" because they really look like the waves on the black surface; at the same time, the smallest iteration of its "big brother" has 37 keys.



Due to the smaller size of the synth will cost you only $ 800, which is much cheaper than the most affordable version of Grand (1999 dollars), especially if you are not professional.

By the way, these "Clavally" Seaboard — not just an ordinary key, is covered with a rubber coating. You can physically bend them, pushing and pinching to play different sounds. To understand how they work, watch this old demo video featuring the Creator of the device of Roland lamb:
