Win a chance to have your Airwave presets featured in an official ROLI soundpack

Made something you think we’d love? Enter our Airwave Preset Design competition and win a chance to have your creations featured in an official Airwave Community Soundpack, curated with sounds made entirely by you. 

The idea is simple: design a preset, submit it to us, and it’ll have a chance of being included in a future soundpack update, to be heard and used by the whole Airwave community! We'll pick our favourite submissions, give them a final refinement where needed, and release them as part of an official Airwave Community Soundpack. Each winning participant will be credited in the ROLI Sound Library, and as a thank-you, we’ll give you a $250 ROLI Store voucher to spend on software and sounds. We’ll be running this competition again later in the year.

Submission Guidelines

Who can enter

Airwave owners only; you'll need the hardware to design and test your patch properly.

What to submit

• A completed Airwave preset file (Instructions coming shortly) 

• All Airwave dimensions assigned

• At least Strike and Press mapped (5D)

• Minimum 5 macro controls assigned

• Only factory samples accepted 

• A short note on what the sound is and what it does (a sentence or two is fine)

Sound quality

Your preset should sound polished and purposeful, well-balanced, clear, and considered. Think about how your sound would feel to a player hearing it for the first time. Presets that are technically correct but sonically unfinished are unlikely to make the cut.

A few things to know

• You can submit as many presets as you like

• ROLI may refine presets before release, but we'll always keep the spirit of your sound intact

• Selected creators get credited in the preset library and in release comms

• As a bonus, everyone whose preset makes it in gets a selection of soundpacks from the ROLI store

How to submit your preset

Post your preset file directly into our #Airwave channel. If you want to share a quick audio demo or video of it in action, even better, it helps us get a feel for it faster.

Once you're happy with your sound, here's how to find and send your preset file:

In Equator2, click Save As and give your preset a name.

Open Finder (Mac) or File Explorer (Windows)

1. Navigate to Documents > ROLI > Equator2 > Airwave Presets

2. Find your preset file and drag it directly into this Discord channel

That's it — Discord accepts preset files no problem. If you want to include a quick audio demo or video of your sound in action alongside it, even better

Questions? Ask them in the Discord server in the #Airwave channel. This channel is the place for sound design chat, feedback, and general nerding out.
