An instrument and a studio in one
NOISE makes you both a performer and a producer. Start by choosing from over 100 custom-made sounds that range from bongo drums to string sections to zithers. Shape those sounds into beats and melodies, and record them as loops. Then mix and match those loops and build amazingly multi-layered songs.
Designed for learners
If you love listening to music but don’t think you can play an instrument, NOISE may change your mind. It’s a fun, interactive learning tool. In Learn Mode, just trace illuminated Light Trails to learn how to shape beats and melodies. Choose from one of 15 scales, and the notes of that scale light up on the grid. Turn on Hide Mode to always stay in tune — it hides notes that not in the key. Use Snap Mode to stay in time — it snaps your performance to the tempo.
Build your sound library
Build a library of sounds that goes well beyond the 100+ presets included with each Lightpad Block. ROLI sound designers and world-renowned musicians like Steve Aoki, RZA, and Grimes are crafting custom soundpacks that suit a huge array of musical genres including hip hop, dubstep, ambient, pop, and cinematic music. Each soundpack comes with up to 16 sounds and is available through in-app purchase on NOISE.
