What software do I need to play the ROLI Seaboard Block?
The instrument comes bundled with ROLI's proprietary Equator Player software, which is specifically designed to map multidimensional movements to sound. It can also be used as an expressive MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) controller in major DAWs like Logic Pro X and Ableton Live.
Can I connect the Seaboard Block to my iOS device?
Yes, the ROLI Seaboard Block features a modular block design and can easily connect to iPhones and iPads via a wired USB connection. This allows musicians to produce dynamic, expressive music while on the go using mobile apps like GarageBand.
Do I have to use ROLI's Noise app to get the most out of the Block?
While ROLI's Noise app provides excellent customization and preset management on mobile devices, you can also use their desktop software, ROLI Connect. Both platforms allow you to update firmware and tweak the sensitivity of the keywaves to suit your playing style.
