Turn movement into music

Sonic exploration through Spatial Expression

Summon a crescendo with a wave, add luscious layers with a flick of the wrist, or create endlessly evolving textures with a gliding gesture. ROLI Airwave uses ROLI Vision to turn natural movements into unique musical moments.

Discover new Dimensions of Air

Connect Airwave to ROLI Piano M or ROLI Seaboard to play the air above your instrument using intuitive gestures.

Explore new sonic landscapes

Airwave comes with ROLI Airwave Player (Beta), an inspiring plug-in, compatible with most DAWs and packed with instantly inspiring sounds and stunning 3D visuals that react to your movements. Each preset has been carefully crafted by our team of expert sound designers and calibrated to respond intuitively to each Dimension of Air.

As intuitive

as it looks

(And as complex as you like)

Let your musical instincts take over; Airwave Player's sounds are designed to just work with natural gestures. Have something specific in mind? Map each of Airwave’s dimensions to any parameter you like in your music software or hardware of choice.

Put on a show

Airwave adds a unique visual element to live performances, without obscuring anyone’s view. Perform expansive gestures that generate an instant, audible reaction from your instruments (and from the audience).

Introducing ROLI Vision

Airwave uses infrared cameras and ROLI Vision technology to reliably track all 27 joints in each of your hands at 90 frames per second. The data is converted into MIDI in real time, giving you incredibly precise control of your musical expression.
