ROLI BLOCKS Beatmaker and Songmaker Kits

BLOCKS Beatmaker Kit – the ultimate beat-making instrument

Published on Nov 9, 2017 ROLI

"Beatmaker Kit is your own compact and customizable music studio. Craft beats with two responsive Lightpad Ms — and take control of your creations with Live Block and Loop Block. If you’re sketching ideas on-the-go or refining high-quality productions in the studio, it’s easy to configure Beatmaker Kit to suit your needs.

Two Lightpad Ms form the dynamic core of the Beatmaker Kit. Play different instruments or drums on two tactile and responsive surfaces — or use one Lightpad to launch clips and loops. Unlock the full potential of portable music-making in NOISE, or connect your Beatmaker Kit to leading studio software.

Each Block in the Beatmaker Kit snaps together wirelessly through DNA connectors, so you can mix and match as you go. Play each Lightpad M as pocket-sized, standalone instruments — or extend the possibilities by adding more Blocks."
