Strike – The way the player makes contact with the Seaboard (velocity).The five ways that the ROLI senses the player's interactions are: ROLI calls the five responsiveness triggers "5D technology". There are three Seaboard models: the small minikey BLOCK (24 keys), the RISE (25- or 49-key versions), and the GRAND, an 88-key keyboard with an onboard sound engine. The Seaboard also features polyphonic aftertouch, and a built-in USB- charged battery.

These responsiveness tools can be used to play the Seaboard with microtonal pitch bend sounds (like a fretless bass guitar), by moving the finger from note to note, or trigger a vibrato effect into a string patch just by wiggling the finger, which would not be possible on a traditional MIDI controller using only the keys. It has what the manufacturer calls "5D technology" which consists of five types of responsiveness to player actions: "strike", "glide" and "press", front to rear movement "slide" sensitivity, and release–velocity "lift" (RISE keyboard only). Some models, like the RISE Seaboard Grand, have an onboard sound engine. It has a continuous sensor-embedded flexible rubber surface for playing the keys instead of traditional lever-style "moving keys". The Seaboard is a musical keyboard-style MIDI controller manufactured by the British music technology company ROLI. Ring modulation, EQ, chorus, delay, reverb, bit crusher, distortion.
