ROLI has slashed prices on its entire lineup of polyphonic MIDI controllers by up to half with this immense Black Friday music deal.

Right now you can make huge savings on the Seaboard and Lightpad Blocks, Seaboard RISE 25 and 49, as well as the Songmaker Kit. Discounts range from 20% off the RISE 49, all the way up to 50% off a Lightpad Block.

All Blocks controllers now come bundled with ROLI Studio Player plugin too, putting hundreds of MPE sounds from ROLI’s Equator, Cypher2 and Strobe2 synths in one place.

There’s also the ROLI Studio Drums plugin, which promises to enable MPE beatmaking on your Lightpad Block. As well as being able to create grooves, you can also shape and warp drum sounds from the Lightpad’s surface.

A new Smart Chords feature is perfect for song makers and suggests chord progressions on a per-note basis, plus there’s a multi-layered arpeggiator.

ROLI's music-making products are some of the most innovative we've seen in years and these discounts are huge. Take a look before they sell out!

Buyer tip: some discounts don't show until you've put them in your cart.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
