ROLI: Introducing Songmaker Kit GarageBand Edition

Published on Nov 13, 2018 ROLI

"The Songmaker Kit GarageBand Edition is the all-in-one expressive companion to GarageBand, the program that has opened up music creation to millions. Take your tracks from start to finish with a perfect pairing of musical tools that are super powerful yet easy to play.

Simply plug the Songmaker Kit into your MacBook, open GarageBand and you're ready to go. Step-by-step tutorials help you every step of the way. Once you've covered the basics, you can create your first song with templates for different musical styles from hip hop to pop.

GarageBand has a library of incredibly deep sounds, all powered by the Alchemy synth. Bend, shape, and express your sound in totally new ways on two touch-responsive musical surfaces. The Seaboard Block and Lightpad Block let you play expressive melodies and beats through 5 Dimensions of Touch.

Sketch and complete your musical ideas faster than ever before. The Loop Block lets you record, set tempo and navigate around your track, without moving back and forth from your MacBook. For more in-depth control, customize the Lightpad Block surface for tweaking effects, switching scales, or mixing volume levels in GarageBand projects.

The Songmaker Kit GarageBand Edition comes with a stylish, protective Snapcase. It holds the kit together and protects the Blocks when you carry them around. Put your Songmaker Kit and MacBook in your bag, and then make your music anywhere.

Songmaker Kit is fully compatible with Apple's Logic Pro X. So when you're ready to upgrade to a more advanced software setup, you don't need to adapt your controllers or your workflow.

Songmaker Kit GarageBand Edition comes bundled with a supporting suite of high-powered software — including the soft synth Equator and 50 exclusive GarageBand presets — which means you have everything you need to take your productions to the next level."
