Manufacturer's Description -------------------------- The Lightpad Block is a fun new musical instrument that lets anyone start making music on a soft, touch-responsive surface that lights up with notes. It works together with NOISE, the free music app for iOS devices. Everyone has a musical voice The Lightpad Block, part of the modular ROLI BLOCKS system, opens up music-making to people who have never taken a music lesson — and it also lets skilled musicians shape sound in new ways. You can make all kinds of sounds on its unique surface. You can make beats like you're playing a drum. You can play melodies like you're playing a guitar or a flute. And you can shape those sounds so expressively and naturally just by moving your fingers around the surface. Everyone has a musical voice inside of them, whether they know how to play an instrument or not. It's easy to discover yours on the Lightpad Block. Download the NOISE app The NOISE app for iOS is a fun music-making app by itself. It's also the software engine for the Lightpad Block and other Blocks in the BLOCKS system, so you'll need to pair it with your Block to make all of that amazing sound and music. Start making music Explore the amazing sonic surface of the Lightpad Block. You can change a sound by pressing continuously into the surface, moving your fingers from side to side, striking the surface at different speeds, and other movements. Choose from over 100 included sounds. The surface lights up in a grid of illuminated pads, and the lit-up pads are the notes in a scale. This makes it easier to play in tune. Connect to other Blocks The Lightpad Block is the centerpiece of BLOCKS, a modular music-making system from ROLI, the maker of next-generation musical instruments. This modular system is brilliant because you can connect Blocks together to build to the music studio that you want. They all click together magnetically and work together as one instrument, no matter how you configure them. Renowned musicians love it World-renowned musicians like Grimes, Steve Aoki, RZA of Wu-Tang Clan, and Rudimental love the Lightpad Block and the whole BLOCKS system. They're bringing BLOCKS into their latest work, and they're also creating collections of their signature sounds that are only available to play on BLOCKS and NOISE. Play, record, build a song The Lightpad Block is not just for playing beats and melodies. It's also for music and creating songs. Through the NOISE app you can record dozens of musical loops of all kinds of different sounds. Then you can play them back, layer them on top of each other, and create amazing songs. The Lightpad Block is part of a modular music studio that fits in your pocket. You can even go pro by connecting it to your favourite DAW with BLOCKS Dashboard, included with your Block. About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words. Powerful, intuitive, fun How did you come up with the idea for this product? We came up with the Lightpad Block and the BLOCKS system after creating another next-generation instrument: the Seaboard. An evolution of the piano keyboard, the Seaboard introduced a new, touch-sensitive silicone surface for playing a huge variety of sounds in all kinds of expressive ways. The Seaboard is great and popular with musicians, and we wanted to make this groundbreaking technology accessible to many more people — regardless of musical skill level or budget. The Lightpad Block and other Blocks were carefully engineered to be portable, fun, and easy to learn — but also very powerful and technologically advanced music devices. What makes your product special? There are so many kinds of music and so many kinds of music-maker. What makes BLOCKS special is that it can suit anyone. You can choose from a world of sounds, play the instrument as a professional or a beginner, and even customize the musical setup that's right for you. What has been the best part of your startup experience? The best part has definitely been seeing how people make music with BLOCKS! Music is a joyful act, and we want to extend the joy of music creation to as many people as possible. We've loved listening to all the music that people from so many backgrounds have made with these new musical devices.
