Essentials: ROLI Equator
Equator is ROLI’s custom-built multi-dimensional synth software, which ships with a large variety of specially designed sampled and synthesised preset sounds. This means that Equator's sound work with ROLI's Seaboard and Lightpad to access expressive playing through responding to different pressures and gestures (5D Touch) on the playing surfaces. Equator is a standalone application, but also comes as VST and AU for compatibility with other production software; for example with Logic Pro X or Ableton Live. You can also get access to even more synth plugins, such as the Cypher 2 Player and the Strobe 2 Player, through purchasing one of ROLI’s hardware packages
