ROLI BLOCKS Studio Editions Are Now Available

ROLI has made available BLOCKS Studio Editions and ROLI Studio, a new desktop software suite for the new Seaboard Block, Lightpad Block, and Songmaker Kit. ROLI Studio combines the sounds and effects from three ROLI synths — Equator, Cypher2, and Strobe2 – as well as introduces the world’s first MPE drums plugin, ROLI Studio Drums.

Shape your sound through touch, craft your track in minutes, and create your personalized kit. Powerful and portable, BLOCKS Studio Editions are the most versatile MPE controllers for producers.

• MORE EXPRESSION: Discover more musical expression than you’ve ever felt before. Bend pitch, modulate timbre, and control amplitude through Five Dimensions of Touch on soft, pressure-responsive surfaces.
• MORE FLEXIBILITY: Build your own kit. With BLOCKS DNA Connectors you can magnetically attach and detach Blocks to suit your needs for any project — and change your setup in the moment.
• MORE SOUNDS: New desktop software gives you more sounds and effects to explore. Discover 100s of textured MPE sounds — from synths to searing guitar leads — all created by ROLI sound designers.
• DEEPER INTEGRATION: Studio Editions integrate BLOCKS more deeply with ROLI software for smoother, faster production. It’s also easy to bring BLOCKS into your workflow, because its software tools are compatible with your DAW.
