Connecting Reaktor 6 Blocks

To get started, simply snap two or more blocks together by DNA – they will magnetically connect. This allows you to create complex instruments and ensembles with ease. You can also connect your blocks via USB or Bluetooth (MacOS only) to your computer for further customization.

Introducing the ROLI Seaboard Aggregator

The ROLI Seaboard Aggregator is a new Reaktor instrument that supports all of the Seaboard and Lightpad Blocks' MPE channels. This aggregator allows you to pair your blocks with a semi-modular synth, creating an ensemble designed specifically for MPE instruments like the Seaboard and Lightpad Blocks.

Customizing Your Blocks

To customize the behavior of your Lightpad or Seaboard Block, simply use ROLI Dashboard to edit the settings. Set MIDI Mode to MPE, MPE Zone: Lower, and No. This will allow you to fine-tune the performance of your blocks.
