Novation gifts Sound Collective members free ROLI Studio Player and ROLI Studio Drums virtual instruments

Novation has announced the latest free software giveaway for members of its Sound Collective community: ROLI’s ROLI Studio Player and ROLI Studio Drums, both available for download from 9th April to 11th June 2020.

ROLI Studio Player puts hundreds of larger-than-life synth basses, pads, leads, FX and much more at your fingertips, generated using the company’s Equator, Strobe 2 and Cypher 2 engines; while ROLI Studio Drums is the world’s first desktop MPE drums plugin, offering 15 ready-made 16-pad sampled and synthesised drum and percussion kits.

Every one of ROLI Studio Player’s presets and ROLI Studio Drums’ percussion pads features predefined macro controls for taking command of envelopes, filters, tuning, dynamics and other bespoke sound-shaping parameters. And for polishing and transformation, four effects inserts each draw on a roster of high-quality modules – delays, distortion, reverb, chorus, etc – with two XY pad-controlled parameters apiece. ROLI Studio Player’s Smart Chords and Arpeggiator MIDI processing modules let you effortlessly generate scale-snapped chords from single-note input, and create complex three-layered arpeggios – use both together for impressive one-finger sequences.

An intuitive, versatile and endlessly rewarding electronic music double-act, ROLI Studio Player and ROLI Studio Drums will transform your existing projects and inspire entire new ones with their sublime sonics and performance-orientated controls.
