Sanjay C Roli has a deal going on, I just bought my kit moments ago. I ended up purchasing them all as a bundle! Songmaker Kit, they call it. They’ve got a sale going on right now, such a great deal! Looking forward to playing and learning it!
Both are awesome but I don't think you can beat the portability of the Lightpad... you can almost throw that in your pocket! That would def be my choice
answered a lot of my questions, thanks so much! So much agree about getting stuck in keyboard patterns. Unless you forcefully train yourself to be be like Keith Jarret and learn ALL keys fluently your expression from keyboards will be limited!
Nice video, you might like to put some towels or mattresses on each side of you to stop the echoing because your room is echoing doesn’t make for great listening! And you are talking about sound! I got a lot out your info thanks!
I agree with you about the Seaboard being more "sticky" and that's the reason I can't play it. My hands sweat constantly (hyperhidrosis). I love the surface of the Lighpad so much that I bought four of them and wrote to ROLI asking them to consider making future keybeds using the Lightpad surface. I'd buy a Seaboard right now if I was able to play it.
HyperHidrosis....that caught my attention because of some in my family: check for very probable micronutrients deficiencies (not that you don't eat them in your diet, but for some factors, you can't assimilate them.....) And also, check your thyroids... and btw, insuline resistance -go to Dr. Eric Berg's channel. 👍
I’ve been wondering about which to get too, and since the video doesn’t even consider other options, I would say to go for secret option three: the Sensel Morph. It still plays great with the Roli soft synth, but it’s way cheaper and much more flexible, portable and practical.
I may get a Komplete Kontrol m32 during the NI summer sale still with Komplete Select and then upgrade to Komplete. It's a lot to work with starting out and gives me access to all the Kontakt stuff. But the Lightpad certainly looks like a great way to cover drum pads and give me an in to another controller ecosystem.
Very nice presenation ...thanks , Quick question, I play Indian classic instrumnet Mridanga , Iam wondering would this Lighpad can be configured to play as Mridanga ? Please suggest
Hi Sanjay, Thanks for the great video! I've got a few questions: I'm debating whether I should get the seaboard block or the songmaker kit. I mainly compose orchestral soundtracks - do you think these products would serve that purpose (or are they more suited for electronic music)? Also, the main DAW I use is Cubase...would these products work with this? Have you experienced any latency issues while these were connected via bluetooth? Lastly, what is the battery life of the seaboard block and the lightpad?
The song maker kit that's what I have and I don't play keyboard but you can always separate them And since. I've gotten the song maker kit I can fool around with it and create a soundtrack of my own
Very helpful to see it all explained! I'm usually concerned with travel, and they both look like they'd be easy to take anywhere. The Lightpad looks more travel-friendly, but can you get the same diversity of options that you'd need? What all do you bring with you on your travels?
Excellent, very informative! I'm especially intrigued by having it control Live. Is the communication two-way? Eg., if a scene is triggered on the computer, does the block show it?
Have always been a fan of Sanjay and his really defined and simple videos.. .. saw the Roli in La la land 😁 thus searched for it .. always on the lookout for your giveaways Mr C 👍 learned a lot this 2020 from u . Ciao
@@SanjayC Yes, probably both of them, I had never seen these before. They are so cool. Thank you, looking forward to seeing/hearing more of your videos. AND, I will subscribe to your page.
Does Roli's software/drivers allow you to use a lightpad and seaboard to cover 4 octaves together? It'd be quite an extra load even for an experienced keyboardist to have each hand covering 2 octaves in such different playstyles, but it seems like a really convenient way to get more octaves when you want them for a just a little bit here and there to hash out a wider ranging midi part.
Nothing wrong with a bit of bending of the truth, especially when it comes to safety... your safety 😂. At least you have the excuse that your a musician, I’m just a guy that loves a gadget and likes tinkering with things... my first lightblock has just arrived... thinking of getting the seaboard already 😂😂
Does using a seaboard rise give you anything that a seaboard block + light pad can't give you? I feel like seaboard block + light pad is the ultimate combination.
Can you set the lightpad block to be velocity-sensitive? Can you get some 3-finger triplets going on the pads? Also, as a guitarist I'm really stoked for the idea of nice vibrato like they both seem to be capable of.
Hey sunjay, I’m a beginner and I want to buy studio speakers. I thought about the krk rokit 5 And about the jbl lsr 305. I think the jbl sounds better, but I want to know what do you think. You are one of my favorite youtubers and your videos helps me a lot!!!
Thanks buddy! I have the Presonus Eris 4.5s and I really love them. If I had to choose another one, I would get the Yamaha HS5. If you want to do accurate mixing, you don't necessarily need speakers that sound "better," but rather speakers that are less colored. BUT, what's more important is that you get used to your speakers so you know how to mix your songs so that they sound good on other speakers. If you master that, you can really use anything - even a pair of headphones.
just bought two Seaboard Blocks, a Lightpad M, and a Loop Block. Looking forward to playing with them while stuck at home. p.s., anyone else mess around with a setup like this? (using both seaboard and blocks together)
@@bodhibruder2970 yes, I know people are, that's why I asked! :) Wanted to get some firsthand reviews and see how people like the setup as a whole. Perhaps I could've worded my question differently. Is there anyone who has used the full blocks setup that actually wants to be helpful? ;)
I would do a light pad block M. Not the regular light pad. Only the M. I could put that in my pocket with a phone and I could just make music everywhere.
Can you use the (square one 😁) to trigger off some other music or track while for example you are playing another instrument. Also, is this wireless also if combine with android/windows? Thanks 😁
Roli's Blocks not working very well with Serum is the main thing holding me back from buying this product, and I bet they are losing so much business by it's lack of compatibility with Serum in which is such a better synth than Equator.
Nice video! I dont like being told to "like" and "subscribe" usually...but this time I did both and look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you! Did you ever try the BT1 Beatthang? Do you now the Ensoniq ASR-X PRO?
great video dude! ive been doin a lot of research into roli blocks to see if id wanna buy them, but I dont own an apple device. I was wondering how well the lightpad and seaboard blocks work independent of the noise app and a mac?
Question again so i can set this up like an expensive drum machine. How is this played in live? Im an acoustic player i wanted to have a drum player with me (roli block ) but im very meticulous in sound. So the roli can produce a realistic sound from ipad directly? Or do i need a preamp to connect it to the mixer?
Can you help me with this, please. One thing I still don't understand with Roli products; to configure e.g. seaboard block a certain way (midi channels, sensitivity) you need a computer and a software. Now if you want to play it without computer (with a hardware synth), does it save those settings inside the seaboard or does the seaboard always act the same when there is no computer to configure it? Thank you in advance, great channel!
Unfortunately, I don't have experience using it with a hardware synth, so I don't know the answer. May I suggest contacting Roli support? In the past, I have had good responses from them.
Yes, I did. Here is the answer: When you set parameters on the computer in the dashboard, those settings will stay with the Seaboard until you change them again. NOISE may have internal settings that will not adhere to your Dashboard settings but these settings will not override the original settings once you leave NOISE.
Can the Lightpad Block-M be used in fader mode with iPad music production apps, to change various parameters of those apps? Or is it just a note input device for iOS music production apps? I’m referring to apps OTHER than Noise, Equator Player, or Garageband.
Yes, I'm pretty sure you can use it to control faders in iOS. I did this with GB on Mac...I don't remember trying it on iOS, but it seems logical that it would work.
Hello Sir... Also wanna learn this Roli seaboard/Lumi keys but that's not available on stores in INDIA 🇮🇳 👑 and I am not able to buy this financially, could you please send me that 🙃 it will be very helpful for me. ❤️
Hi, how do you use the SWAM sounds using a Seaboard block into your DAW? I imagine you can use the audio out from your phone but is there a way to have the SWAM sounds as Virtual Instrument on your computer and using the Roli as a controller?

IT IS INTUITIVE, IT IS CREATIVE, IT IS WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED TO GET TRULY INSPIRED BUT... THERE IS A BASIC DETAIL THAT IS MISSING HERE... WHY ARE THE BLACK KEYS IDENTIFIED WITH WHITE LINES AND THE WHITE KEYS LOOK LIKE A ROAD WITH JUST "BUMPS" FOR A BLIND MAN? NOT EVERYONE THAT ACQUIRES THIS KEYBOARD IS A PIANO PLAYER... MOST OF US IN THE PROCESS OF LEARNING HAVE BARELY BEEN ABLE TO RECOGNIZE BY MERE SIGHT THE PLACEMENT OF ALL THE KEYS ON A PIANO, MUCH LESS ABLE TO MASTER THEM BY TOUCH!!! WE LEARN FIRST BY VISUAL AND THEN BY TOUCH... SO WHY THE WHITE LINES ARE NOT PLACED ON WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSE TO BE?!? THERE'S A REASON WHY THE KEYS ON A PIANO SINCE ITS INVENTION HAD WHITE KEYS DOWN AND BLACK KEYS UP!! FOR EASE OF PLAY AND RECOGNITION!! SWITCH THE WHITE LINES TO THE BOTTOM KEYS AND SOMETHING LIKE RED OR GREEN OR YELLOW ON THE SHARP OR BLACK KEYS TO MAKE THIS KEYBOARD USEFUL. TRULY, THIS DESIGNER OVERLOOKED THIS ONE MAYOR FLAW!! REVERSE THE ORDER SO THAT THE DAMN THING LOOKS LIKE A REAL PIANO SO THAT IT EASIER FOR THE REST OF US IDIOTS TO LEARN TO PLAY IT, FIRST VISUALLY, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO LEARN GUIDING OURSELVES WITH A WHITE CANE!!!
Sorry, how much better is the M? I can get the original for about half the price of the M so was wondering if it was worth paying the extra, im by no means a professional musician btw, great video
The Seaboard easily. It's literally my favorite music tool. If you're going to spend 200 bucks for a tiny light-up square, might as well just shell out the extra $100 for the magical squishy keyboard instead.
Just a word for the wise.
If you do decide to get a Light Block, remember to get the M version. Don't settle for the original non M version, even if it's cheaper.
Trying to use the original light block is like trying to use a drum pad made of concrete. It's super stiff, and quickly results in serious finger strain.
Lightpad M? ok.
Lightpad original? Nope.
Excellent point!
Thanks
Thx
Thank you

The more I look at the light pad the more I want one
Yeah it’s super innovative and useful
I'm watching this video in 2024 and I can't make up my mind 🙄
These things are just amazing. Got a secondhand Lightpad block and just fell in love with it. Thanks for the video!
Awesome! Enjoy it!!
Listening to you all the way from Punta Cana, DR. Superb tutorial, Guru!
Thanks!
You've sold me on both. Thank you, Sanjay!

Both are awesome but I don't think you can beat the portability of the Lightpad... you can almost throw that in your pocket! That would def be my choice
Guitarists might quite enjoy the Lightpad - in melody mode its sort of tuned in fourths across the rows the same way as a guitar.
answered a lot of my questions, thanks so much! So much agree about getting stuck in keyboard patterns. Unless you forcefully train yourself to be be like Keith Jarret and learn ALL keys fluently your expression from keyboards will be limited!

It might be cheaper in some markets but for me in Australia Sensel Morph is $899 AUD, versus the Roli Seaboard Block at $350.00
*MPE now stands for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (Now that it's been standardised)
Really? I didn't know that. Its better but still hard to say!

Hey Sanjay when I play my noise app over Bluetooth with my iPhone X I get a bad crackling noise...have you ever had that problem??
Seaboard is better imo. The light block is good for controls, not my favorite for making music

I don't think so, unless someone made an app for it. People are creating all sorts of tools using the Lightpad.
What is better lightpad or lightpad m
M for sure!
@@SanjayC thanks
Sorry, how much better is the M? I can get the original for about half the price of the M so was wondering if it was worth paying the extra, im by no means a professional musician btw, great video
Is Chetan Bhagat your long lost brother?
Seaboard Block all the wayyyyy
😮
Why, Tim? It seems the Lightpad gives one more 'movemidi' options!
Hey Donald! I’m a bit confused about what you mean. Can you elaborate?
Manh .. I Like it
Price please
Check description
Hello, what connections are needed to setup roli 49 on stage?
You need a computer to connect it to. Then you use the audio outputs from that computer to feed the stage mixer. THat's it.
@@SanjayC thnk u
Can you play polyphonic MPE pitch bends on LightBlock like on the seaboard?
Yes you can!
Awesome!!! Thanks!!! :)
Ur suppose to get both of them and connect them together
I also wan wun 4 me burthday (birthday)
I now like your channel
Thanks!
The Seaboard easily. It's literally my favorite music tool. If you're going to spend 200 bucks for a tiny light-up square, might as well just shell out the extra $100 for the magical squishy keyboard instead.
Does the block have a speaker or does it need a separate speaker for sound?
It doesn't have a speaker. You need to use an iphone/ipad/computer
Can you save your tracks and play it in live performance?
Yes you can
