ROLI PLAY is an interactive introduction to the Lightpad Block, the musical touchpad from ROLI. The Lightpad Block lets you shape sounds and perform music with astonishing expressiveness. ROLI PLAY takes you through a few quick lessons that show you how to start making music in minutes on your Lightpad. Learn how to shape sound through touch Play around with a huge range of sounds from delicate flutes to guitar leads to pulsing dance floor beats. Learn how to shape and deepen any sound through five movements — Strike, Glide, Slide, Press, and Lift — that become musical on the Lightpad surface. Start making songs Have fun experimenting with electronic music composition on a Lightpad Block. Anyone can do it! Make a song by choosing sounds, recording loops, and mixing them — all within the easy-to-use interfaces of the app. Explore basslines, chords, and leads, and start layering these musical elements together to make amazing tracks. Speed up and slow down your tempo at the touch of a finger. You don't need to be a DJ to start making music. Share your creations with friends It’s easy to share your finished projects with friends and family. Just upload your project to NOISE.fm, ROLI’s music sharing platform, through a simple click in the app. Share your music via email or social media. ROLI PLAY helps you get feedback on your musical ideas, so you can refine them. Because no project is ever truly finished. Create a sonic signature ROLI PLAY introduces the SongDial, a revolutionary visualization of music. The circular Songdial tracks your instruments like sonar on a submarine — yet with the geometrical beauty of a mandala. Its appearance changes as you add different elements to each part of your track, becoming your personal sonic signature.
Doesn’t even boot up
Doesn’t even boot up I hope roil pay attention and update it I’ve been waiting for this app for years now to get an update and finally boot on newer devices
Trash app
This app doesn’t work Bad company
App is broken on newer iOS
Completely does not load anymore and crashing on launch.
Waste of money
I repurchased the block as I used to own the music maker set and I was nostalgic for the block experience. Sad to say that I spent $100 to not be able to use the Noize app on Android AND Roli Play won’t even open on my iPad :(
Is there a way to make negative stars
This company is the worst. I regret owning any of their hardware. The software needed to use Blocks will not install on my Mac, and this app won’t even start up. It just shows the logo and disappears. Nothing will install. Now I have several hundred dollars of useless, squishy crap. Contacting customer service is pointless. I’m still waiting a week from this most recent time that I needed help. If your customer service is that backed up from customers having issues, maybe you need to reevaluate your product. Please remove their apps from your store so that no one is even tempted to download them. I guess if you want people to buy new Apple products, leave it. I almost smashed my phone in anger while trying to make this work.
Doesn't work
Never got a working app
Crash
I can’t evaluate the software because it crashes the moment that it opens.
Drums now available in Play mode!
