Their new BLOCK M seems intriguing for someone wanting to dip my toes in MPE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds phenomenally good with an MPE device and has tons of great presets but it's a bit buggy. Most annoyingly, preset recall doesn't always work properly so you need to double check if it sounds right every time (if you actually do remember). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoncaloL Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 My problem with my BLOCK is that nothing that i play with it end up sounding good to me. It has a steep learning curve, and maybe requires that you devote yourself to it longer that i did to get reasonable results…my fault🤷🏻♂️ Despite that, i never used it with equator only with other mpe instruments, so maybe BLOCK is a better experience with it. Equator from what i heard sounds great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if they did or didn't but generally people/companies go through bankruptcy to avoid paying what they owe...... Edit: Some info ROLI - Wikipedia Looks like they had roughly $39 million in initial investments that got bought for $6 million after bankruptcy. So their initial VC investors maybe got back upto 15 cents on the dollar if my lousy math is right, probably less.

Equator is decent, but Pigments is still my favorite MPE synth. (I am using the now discontinued Sensel Morph) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
