Watch as ROLI Sound Design & Innovation Manager Marcus Levy-Chance takes us on a whistlestop tour of Airwave's features. From seamless setup to shaping dynamic soundscapes, learn everything you need to know about making music with Airwave, whether you're using ROLI gear or third-party MIDI keyboards.

Setting up with Airwave is as easy as clicking your ROLI keyboard into place and doing a simple calibration, and with third-party hardware compatibility, you can unlock superpowers for any production setup.

Powered by ROLI Vision and Airwave’s ultra-precise infrared cameras, the system tracks 27 joints in each hand with exceptional detail and lightning-fast responsiveness. This allows you to shape your sound effortlessly using natural hand gestures, bringing your music to life in the air.

Connect Airwave to your ROLI keyboard to amplify the existing five or four Dimensions of Touch, or plug in a sustain pedal to add even greater layers of texture and sonic intrigue to your music as you play and combine different Air gestures.

Each of Airwave’s sounds are transmitted as traditional MIDI CC messages, so you can capture inspiration intuitively and explore new ideas, knowing you’ve got total flexibility to edit and tweak your sounds even further after you’ve recorded them with Airwave.

Experience the magic of Airwave and add depth and character to your sounds. Love what you’ve seen so far? Stay tuned for upcoming videos exploring third-party plugins, DAWs, and controllers, and discover how seamlessly Airwave integrates into any production setup.
