The ROLI Airwave further extends the capabilities of the Piano System by enabling musicians to manipulate sound through gestures in the air above the keys. Using ROLI Vision technology, Airwave tracks hand movements with precision, translating them into expressive parameters such as pitch, timbre and dynamics. This opens up new possibilities for real-time performance and sound design, allowing users to shape their music in new gestural ways.
