ROLI Songmaker Kit

Complete ROLI Music Creation System

The Studio Edition of the ROLI Songmaker Kit is comprised of some of the most innovative and portable music-making devices available. It’s centered around the Seaboard Block, a 24-note controller featuring ROLI’s acclaimed keywave playing surface. It’s joined with the Lightpad Block M touch controller and the Live Block control module, for comprehensive control over the included ROLI Studio software. The software itself is teeming with hundreds of MPE-ready sounds, placing ROLI’s Equator, Cypher2, and Strobe2 sound engines conveniently in one unified, browsable desktop plug-in. You also get ROLI Studio Drums. This MPE-enabled drum plug-in is a game-changing way to play drums and develop grooves, supplying you with boundless rhythmic expression. Both ROLI Studio Player and ROLI Studio Drums work as plug-ins in all leading DAWs, so integrating ROLI BLOCKS Studio Edition hardware into your studio is a breeze. Complete with a protective case, the ROLI Songmaker Kit is a powerful portable music creation system.
