The Lowdown
The Roli Lightpad Block M is a compact and portable touch surface that lets you play sounds and instruments from your iPhone, iPad, or laptop. It connects via Bluetooth to your smart device running the Roli Noise or Equator Player synth / sampler apps. It can also control digital audio workstations (DAWs) and soft synths running on your Mac computer via the Blocks Dashboard app, which serves as a bridge between the DAW and the Lightpad Block M. As with other Roli Block devices, the Lightpad Block M is modular and can be interfaced with other Roli Blocks such as the Seaboard Block, Live Block, and Loop Block.
