ROLI just announced the new Lightpad M (now available on roli.com for $199, £189, €219), a new softer, deeper surface topped with undulating “microkeywaves.”
Its higher-definition LEDs and sharper color contrast make the surface much brighter. These enhancements create an even more tactile and precise playing experience. The Lightpad M easily connects with the original Lightpad Block, so you can use them both together as an integrated BLOCKS instrument.
