Review: You DEFINITELY need this gear. Read on... - It is the BEST expression keyboard I have ever used in my life. No wires... pass it around (to the left)... The vibrato, the way it makes you feel a part of the instrument. Feels like a gel insole that you put in your shoe. Bending the notes. Works really well with Garage Band. Options to purchase premium sounds. The thing got rained on and still works perfectly. It would be nice if you could connect the Roli Blocks to the Seaboard. The 25 keyboard layout is great and the octave buttons are convenient. Making full ranges not awkward. Theres so many things that I discover everytime I turn it on! Well done in so many ways. My only problem with this is that you can lose bluetooth connection often which makes it as a live instrument difficult. That's my only problem. Other than that, get this thing. I pay $120 ish a month spread over 7 months. I bring it on the road. Is easy to show people how it works, if you get to know it first. Just touching it will inspire you to use its 5 touch sensors. Idk. It's been a fun portable, professional keyboard in my arrangement of goodies. Cant wait to see if ROLI makes some new gear. 5 stars.
Review: Manufacturer defects and bugs. Arrived with issues / broken. - Came with all sorts of manufacturer defects and didn't work properly. I bought a seaboard block and it doesn't have these issues. I looked it up and there was a bad production run that is still circulating. Roli should have replaced and recalled the bad devices. I won't buy another RISE

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it make the sound of a traditionnal keyboard ?**
A: Kind of.Honestly,the Equator (seaboard rise's synth) is good for acoustic instruments.Like celo,flute,guitar...But it's not that good as a synthesizer.If you expect electronic sounds, it's not that good for those things.It has oscillator,modulations,all kind of things.But they are very limited.if you have a talent of Sound design,you will be frustrated.But i bet you will like it.Because those acoustic instruments are awsome.

**Q: does it have a sustain input?**
A: Yes.

**Q: Did anyone have a problem with a ghost note as soon as it arrived? Or did i kust get a faulty one?**
A: ghost note? you meant a note that is triggered without further user interaction? my rise 49 doen't trigger ghost notes. try to explain better your issue, I can help with more details

**Q: Do you need an apple product to use it?**
A: If you are trying to connect it to your phone (via bluetooth) it's apps are only reliable on apple devices. Otherwise it can connect to windows.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant and useful
*by J***B on April 23, 2020*

I really love this controller. It is a very versatile instrument and comes with brilliant software. Roli is constantly adding more sounds and programs so you will never run out. Creating sounds is also very intuitive. Does take a bit of learning to get used to especially for live use but once you have learned it never fails to turn heads. I had one issue with mine, my USB port stopped working. This was due to mine being an older model before it was sold to me. That however was fixed by roli for free, not only did they pay shipping but the also checked all the hard ware while the USB was being fixed. They even replaced the silicone top for me free of charge. Their customer service is great. Would highly recommend
