Looks good to me.
From the GearNews article they say :
The velocity curve has been improved, giving a more natural feel. It’s been made slightly more robust for more confident gigging. There are more settings in the customisation to tweak the MPE control exactly to your liking. And you can change presets directly from the keyboard.
Definitely a good move to add the MIDI connector. We’ll see what else they provide with their DNA connector.
Would be an interesting and super expressive controller with a Eurorack system through something like the Shuttle Control from Endorphin.es.
Some people freaked out over the idea of pre-ordering ( the Rise 2 ) from Roli, so i expect they still feel the same. I’m not bothered, but t is a pretty long pre-order lead time though, SynthAnatomy says :
