Definitely no OP-1 killer.

OP-1 killer? Its as lethal as a feather

i look forward to when seaboard keyboards are $200 some 20 years from now!

@ech0es Absolutely no

not even comparable. it’s essentially just a midi controller…

a fancy one, mind you, but nothing near what the op-1 is.

As soon as I see “works seamlessly with our app” I walk away.

Very same.

:smiley:

I have absolutely no idea where the OP is coming from when he says a controller with a unique keyboard competes for the same market as a portable synth/drum/sampler/multi-track recording device. It’s like comparing a trumpet to a fridge.

@cloudburst but the fridge only works with the bundled app xD

Wait, you don’t think the Roli Blocks only work with Roli’s app do you? The Roli Dashboard lets you configure every aspect of the blocks and use them with pretty much any desktop software:

@zadillo, yes you’re describing my exact point: it’s a wireless MIDI controller in a fancy package. Without an app, it’s not an instrument.

nahhh

I do agree that it’s bizarre of the OP to compare the OP-1 to a set of MIDI controllers.

I was just concerned you also seemed to think the Roli Blocks only work with the Roli app (your reference to only working with the bundled app) Sorry for misinterpreting

ahahahahahaaa. lol


(at least you tried)

I’d buy a 2nd Op1 before I’d get something like that.

Negative.
