"Still more development needed"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Roli are on to something here but they are not there yet. It is not intuitive to use and the instructions are limited. Interfaces such as Noise I found to be cumbersome to use, moving around the app to make changes can get frustrating. I found Roli Play almost a waste of time. Latency is a real frustration. Once you work through the procedure of hooking up to Logic Pro it offers an interesting and unique alternative to other midi devices, but again it has it's limitations and is frustrating to use. As my 17 year old musician son said, “why have they sent a prototype -”. I would hold off from buying yet and wait to see how it improves.

"This is an amazing piece of equipment"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I can not recommend it highly enough. An exciting piece of technology. Yes I would have liked the keys to have been a little larger, but it is something that I will definitely get used during working with it – it is great.
