ever thought of playing music like this or how about like this or maybe this creating fun electronic beats can be a snap with the Rollie block suite of customizable touch pads and the company just added a new miniature keyboard to the mix well okay this isn't actually a keyboard although it resembles one it's called a sea board instead of individual keys there's a continuous smooth silicon surface that responds to the force of your touch in multiple ways glide your finger to create different effects bending notes or blurring instruments together the $300 sea board block works as a standalone instrument it comes with desktop software to change settings and save and edit your work there's also a free phone app but if you're ready to take your performance up a notch snap on some light pad blocks and control pads everything connects magnetically to any side light pads cost one hundred and eighty dollars and they can be set to play hundreds of different sounds with the surface touch area you can even use it to layer beads together with playback loops smaller control pad blocks they're $80 each and they're for making quick settings adjustments during a performance but you don't need a setup like this to jam out you could create music with just one light pad block or just the Seaboard block Rolly made several versions of the Seaboard since its creation nearly four years ago but this Seaboard block is the cheapest and smallest yet making it easier for newcomers to justify buying one to experiment with new ways of creating music
