Review: Brilliant and useful - 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
Review: I love the keyboard, but.... - Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. There is a bit of a learning curve for anyone used to solid keys but aside from that, the keyboard software integration is superb. My only regret is that I didn't read into it enough to know that all the software licenses aren't transferable. Sure, you get the Roli software, but if you're interested in the extra programs that come with new ROLI purchases, I wouldn't recommend buying a used one.

## 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.

*by I***Y on November 26, 2019*

Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. There is a bit of a learning curve for anyone used to solid keys but aside from that, the keyboard software integration is superb. My only regret is that I didn't read into it enough to know that all the software licenses aren't transferable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ my ROLI is AWESOME
*by H***# on October 17, 2016*

my ROLI was here faster than if I flew myself on a commercial airline from the other side of the world! Superb packaging. Simple steps to download software and start up. Exploring now. Even at this early stage I can feel how AWESOME my ROLI is! ...I'm a pianist...a tuned percussion player where the notes are all tuned...but this is like I'm playing a fretless instrument like a viola...I have to really listen to what I am playing, to actually "vocalize" my creative intent...like falling in quicksand; sink or swim
