Enables BLOCKS to control Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and other
music production software
London (March 7, 2017) - ROLI today releases a beta version of BLOCKS Dashboard, an application that will extend the power of BLOCKS as
a customizable music creation system by enabling control of software
programs including Logic Pro, Ableton Live, GarageBand, Omnisphere, and
Kontakt.
The BLOCKS Dashboard beta is free and available for all BLOCKS
music-makers to download via their My ROLI accounts. ROLI is delighted
to work together with the fast-growing BLOCKS community on this open
beta release, adding features that improve the workflow of BLOCKS
creators. Community feedback will help guide ROLI's ongoing development
of this versatile application.
Controlling Ableton Live with BLOCKS via BLOCKS Dashboard.
With
BLOCKS Dashboard the Lightpad Block, Live Block and Loop Block become
open-ended MIDI control surfaces. Music-makers can configure different
display modes on the surface to control different instruments and
parameters within their chosen software programs. The LED-illuminated
Lightpad Block, for example, can become a bank of faders controlling a
program's effects - or a 2x2 or 4x4 drum pad controlling drums in a
software synthesizer.
