Rhodri Marsden on three of the latest must-have gizmos currently putting the prog in progress.
ROLI PIANO
My own piano-learning journey consisted of being hectored by asuccession of teachers who told me in no uncertain terms what Iwas doing wrong. I’d say they did agreat job, but trad lessons aren’t for everyone. The newest launch from Roli is a49-key keyboard and an accompanying stand-like device called Airwave, whose cameras track 27 points in each hand at 90 frames per second. Roli’s tutoring app then gives you real-time feedback on how you’re doing, along with practice tips. Creators can also use Airwave as agesture-controller to sculpt their own synthesised soundworlds. www.roli.com
