A piano has 12 notes. Roland Lamb, the CEO of technology startup Roli, wanted more options. "As a keyboard player, I love the piano and think it's the most logical instrument. But I was always interested in extending its power. I'd play gigs and be slightly envious of the musicians who could bend the pitch and volume and timbre of the notes -- guitar players can be very expressive with just a few notes. You can't do that with a piano." So three years ago, he set out to create one that could. The result is the Seaboard, a touch-sensitive, silicone keyboard that lets you slide between, bend and vibrate notes. It is, he says, "a new instrument that gets you one step closer to the experience of touching sound."
