I agree man. That should’ve had this kind of implementation years ago. This is what I’ve wanted from the blocks.
Excellent content & presentation is on point. I learned a thing or three. Thank you for taking the time to make this. Keep on rockin’ em & shockin’ em homie. 🎹🎚🎛🔊💎💥
Excellent description and explanation. Bringing me up to speed quickly on my Blocks.
Thanks very much! Going to check through your videos to see your thoughts on them now.
I just ordered this setup. Thanks for the tutorial
.
I love it it I have been thinking about getting the song maker kit. I think you just sealed it for me I’m not very good with chord and the smart chord option is amazing.
I definitely have go get this .nice job.
Wow. The demo song is KILLER! Great job. I wish that was a song...
Awesome video, Thank You!
You choose beautiful color palette. I really like your video editing :)
Happy TAETROing..
So glad I found your channel! I subbed immediately.
I love it
Fantastic fam 🔥🔥🔥
Wow, I bought a lightpad and a seaboard when I when they first came out… then didn’t make time for them… the I heard Roli went bankrupt … so really pleased to see so many people still using theses !!! I dug mine out and connected to my ipa pro and LOVING THE EXPRESSIVENESS …my only wish is I had bought more blocks while there were easily available….thanks for the demo. Such a great system demonstrated so well 🙏
I am planning to buy the seaboard. I use logic and ableton. As i understand you have to have different settings for everything in the dashboard (for ableton, logic, for different instruments like equator,diva,swam instruments and so on). So i have to change those settings manually every time thru dashboard? If so i would be spending more time in the dashboard app than in my daw. Am i geting this right? Thx
Great video Tetro! Do you know if Roli has any plan to port this software to iOS, I use noise and a lightpad but iOS Roli software seems a little abandoned and basic in comparison to Mac OS. Thanks
Can you please tell me how sensitive padblocks are? Compering to ni machine mark3 or ableton new pro lounchpads?? Thanks
i love it n used it 2 weeks ago it turn me off on the fact that u cannot open the instrument u are working on to edit or layer as for the arp its nice.
I really enjoyed the review! I plan on buying one next year, it looks amazing! The problem is I don't have iOS.
Its now on black friday deal! GET IT
such a dope beat, Taetro!
Where?
Where? Nothing but presetts from 5 years ago
@@ollieroks If you don't hear the 🔥 at th-cam.com/video/C06hB44l4-c/w-d-xo.html , you may need to check your hearing.
Taetro, could you do a comparison between Roli Blocks and Sensel Morph? 🙏💕
I was hesitant to cop because it wasnt capable of running with my DAW. This is a def cop now. I’m just wondering if your can use your plugins from the daw as the instrument on the seaboard.
Does anyone know if this works with serato studio?
Is the lightpad M hardware the same as what is now called studio edition?
hi! i have Roli Songmaker kit, and I love idea of this devise. but there is two thing makes my experience really hard - huge latency when i use it with Ableton. 2-3 plugins and it impossible to use without freezing everything. i heard some crackers in your video also..
second - it really hard to make nice straight press and slide to have beautiful effects. it is really unpredictable and takes several attempts (
please tell me any advice of this!
is there a way i can listen to the full version of this song?
when we join your channel membership, do you teach us how to make beats from these instruments?
How you put that ROLI Studio screen above the blocks ?
I need to know how to use my seaboard with the Sunrizer synth app and recorded and save it
Any ideas?
i installed studio and drums but there is no vst files for windows?
Hey bro, good vid. But can you tell me how to open it on Ableton. Thanks.
Hi Bro, great Demo. I want to Control my MIDI Drum Machine via Roli! Can you please confirm how to do this? And I would like to Adjust the Tuning Pitch of the Roli Instruments!!! Thank you 🎉
Whats the difference between the studio edition and the normal one? There's a black friday sale on the Roli website for all of the blocks and im interested in getting a seaboard block but the seaboard on sale is separate to the studio version and its a whole £100 off - is it worth getting the studio edition or is the difference not that worth it?
How are the drum kits that come with the Roli?
are these blocks different types of block and do you need them all...or are those small blocks modules...
Is it possible to use plugins that are not from Noise?
Hey, Taetro, thanks for the review. One thing I don’t understand. How did you do it within Ableton Live? It’s not MPE-compatible.
Anton Chebykin The blocks themselves are compatible with ableton, there’s just a certain way you set it up, but they also have templates for it to go in ableton.
You can play equator with Roli in Ableton as an MPE controller. And Cypher and Strobe.
You have to setup a (or multiple) track(s) that listen to each independent channel so that when you play the ROLI gear each channel is processed on your daw by the same “instrument”. So each track should “ideally” be a midi track of the same instrument. That’s the general idea to make MPE tracks on “NON-MPE” DAWs.
I wasn’t aware that Ableton Live had a specific NEED to be MPE-compatible. AFAIK, MPE compatibility is a function of a MIDI controller, not the DAW. MPE events are just MIDI events, so as long as the DAW can record incoming MIDI, it can handle MPE. Or am I mistaken?
Does the mpe now work on ableton 9?
I always thought it was Pump a Rump
I’m definitely playing to get 2 extra lightpad blocks, 2 seaboard blocks and 2 lumi blocks just for this studio vst.
Also, those drums! Where did you get ‘em?! 🔥
Hey if you still need a Seaboard Block and Lightpad Block, I am looking to sell mine, if you’re interested?
Alex Dempsey most definitely! How much are you selling it for?

15:30 not gonna talk about the coin collecting sound
XD level up!
@@Taetro 😂
Roli is a. Dream i don't know when it becomes true
Sadly it never does, the whole setup is so buggy and extremely poorly documented. Constant dropouts and failures. Works OK for 30 seconds then just fails ! Of course I'm using Windows 10 like most of the world, so if you are Mac based it might work for you.
i own some blocks. the seadboard and 2 lightpads. the live and the loop block. i just need some free time to get better at playing. why cant i buy free time with the blocks?
Did you reassign the right lightpad to the effects from the arp with the mouse or did you do it some other way?
It almost looks like having four lightpads would be most useful.
With the mouse. Yeah the more LPs the better
Do you get this software with every roli seaboard block you have purchased for free? Or do you have to purchase them extra?
So I didn't get difference if I have buy they not as "Studio Edition" but just one by one (hardware parts), whats difference?
if I got it right, then the hardware is exactly the same, they released the new studio software to combine the three synths coming with the blocks(player edition,not full) and gives you a new interface with software upgrades for better performance. if you already have ‘old’ roli gear, you can upgrade to the new software for free via their website.
So pretty much you get better software you also get Strobe 2 for free with it which is really cool.
so... what's the difference with the blocks lightpad m? I did'nt see any difference
stéphane soler same question here. If I wanted to be cynical, I’d say the only difference is the letter M. It stands for More 💰 as in spend more. Why push a firmware update when you can just get your user base to spend more money to buy the “newest version”? I can’t imagine that the M version has any internal components that are different. I could be wrong (and more cynical).

Can the studio editions be used with iOS?
Kevin Benjamin yes
Man, did they donate to you hardware or asked to send back? :)
Hey ROLI......I want a closer look
What do you mean??
@@Taetro they you sent you some gear to have a closer look, well, I'd like a closer look too lol
Early
Can you record in that soft ware
I have the same question
I’m guessing no. Key word is ‘player’. It’s a live performance app. That’s why using it as a plugin in a DAW is such a great combination.
Great video! This is making me consider Blocks for the first time. One question: I noticed you plugged in the Seaboard Block via USB. Is there some reason you didn’t use Bluetooth? Does the Bluetooth work well? Latency?
You Must be new. Bluetooth NEVER works well. Even if you turn everything off.
I don’t have any Bluetooth MIDI devices, so I guess that makes me new. But MIDI over Bluetooth shouldn’t have the latency that audio over Bluetooth does. Are you just making a general, slightly dickish comment, or do you have experience with the Roli Blocks?
Bluetooth works fine on the Mac in my experience but it isn't an option at all on Windows for Roli products. But really I always plug in via usb on both because why worry about battery and connection if you don't have to : )
I have a Korg nanokey Studio, which is a versatile little thing. I use it over Bluetooth with my iPad, and I plug USB into my Mac. I don’t notice any latency when using it with Bluetooth into my iPad. I don’t notice any latency between the Lightpad Block and the Noise app on my iPad. Maybe the Roli team needs some Bluetooth tutorials. I use a music app called apeMatrix on my iPad, and it has a MIDI monitor among other great features. Anyway, I tried using the Lightpad Block as a MIDI controller over Bluetooth. When I tested it, and viewed the monitor output, I noticed that it sends “Unknown message” and that between the four different screens, it sends MIDI messages on channels 2-16. And the mapping is rather odd. The 16 pad drum screen starts on channel 11 bottom left row, then moving across the bottom row to the right, 12, 14, 13. What? And what’s up with the unknown message it transmits? Roli needs to step up their game and release a MIDI setup utility. Korg has one for their controllers.
So there isn’t new with product- more about the Studio Player software, correct?
angelfallsphotography Yes, just new software.
Same presetts but more Visual.
I'm first ❤️❤️❤️❤️
No you arent no one cares you are not special
I wish they made a large lightpad....
That’d be dope!
That update is great! I think that anyone who has even just one block could make a lot of use of the studio. I have a random question. Do you know when ableton live 11 releases??? I don't want to buy 10 now and have to buy the upgrade in a couple months lol I'm not sure if you would know anything, but I thought I'd ask
I don't own any blocks, but this is definitely something that some add more value and tip the scales for me towards buying at least the seaboard
That pUsh 3 though...🕰?
But I must admit this the first video that actually gives info on Roli Studio
If only these were cheaper
It’s not multi-polyphonic expression, it’s MIDI polyphonic expression. Ultimately, multi and Poly mean the same thing. The name is a bit confusing though.
Lol you’re right
Nice! But for me the Roli gear is not enjoyable to play. I mean sliding fingers on rubber, really? I want to twist knobs, that’s why I develop the Playface app that integrates with any controller. It’s a hobby project though. I would be equally happy if someone else released a product like that because it’s what I would like to have as a producer.
Playface app is not released yet. All I have so far is a prototype. You can see it in action here m.th-cam.com/video/BQEkeT7ZtgA/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, knobs are great for playing, if you have three hands!!! Unfortunately humans have only two of them and if they're on the keyboard you can't twist anything else. That's where Roli shines. Knobs are great for post-production or manipulation of recorded material, indeed.
A more productive producer should produce more product in his factory studio production center
