Lightpad Block M

What is the Roli Lightpad Block M?

The Lightpad Block M is a music making surface that fits in the palm of your hand. Wether you're an ameteur, professional, or student musician, the Lightpad block is for you. It has a responsive and expressive surface for quick music making, as if you're using an acoustic instrument.

Super Sonic Surface

You can play beats, shape sounds, make melodies, drums, and all in the palm of your hand.

Five Dimensions of Touch

You can shape sounds in a very intuitive and natural way using Five Dimensions of Touch. Often keyboards only have Strike and Lift, and even the majority of the time they only have Strike as a feature.

• Strike - How you initially sound a note on the attack. Strike to sound.
• Glide - Just like on a stringed instrument, glide your finger left or right to change the pitch!
• Slide - Slide up and down on a note to modulate or filter a sound.
• Press - Use pressure to control other elements such as how a String player might bow, or a saxophone player might breathe.
• Lift - How you lift a note changes the resonance of it.

Blocks

The beauty of the block system is that you can connect any of the instruments of the blocks series together and use seamlessly with your iOS device or sequencer of choice. This is literally too easy.

Pretty amazing, huh?
