The Roli Airwave is a high-tech keyboard teaching tool inspired by the theremin


The Roli Airwave is both a high-tech piano teacher and a theremin. The system costs $300 and officially releases in February.

Movements are tracked in real time and beamed to a tablet, which then displays visuals to teach users how to correctly play a song and fix any mistakes they are making. “With the simple raise of their hands, creators can transform a piano into a full orchestra, just as a conductor would, or morph mellow synth pads into searing leads with a tilt of a wrist,” Roli wrote in a press release. It requires a pre-existing Roli keyboard, like the$1,400 Seaboard Rise 2 or the much cheaper Lumi(now called the Piano M.) Also, to access the teaching tools, users will need to bring in their own tablet.
