ROLILightpad Block M Expressive Musical Touchpad

About

Use the ROLI Live Block to expand the performance potential of your ROLI Lightpad Block. Connect it physically or wirelessly — either way you'll have a bank of dedicated buttons for maximum hands-on control. The Live Block offers access to switching scales and octaves, triggering chords and arpeggios, and note sustain. All of these functions are available in the free NOISE app, but you'll have instant, hands-on access with dedicated controls when you add the ROLI Live Block to your Lightpad Block.
