Developer Kit A

The Lightpad M features a tactile silicone surface that is LED-illuminated and responds to Five Dimensions of Touch. 5D Touch technology opens new ways of interacting with software, making the Lightpad Block the perfect controller for music and game applications.

Specially designed for developers to allow easy, on-the-fly adjustments in real time, the Developer Control Block features 8 switches labelled from 0 to 7 with RGB LEDs and a +/- dual button. The Control Block connects to the Lightpad Block through magnetized BLOCKS DNA connectors.

Our powerful open-source C++ API contains all you need to start developing cross-platforms apps for BLOCKS. It uses parts of the JUCE library, so it’s easy to integrate with your existing apps if you’re a JUCE user. Even if you’re not, the code is free to use for all apps compatible with BLOCKS.

Integrate your existing patches with BLOCKS using Max, the open-ended modular software framework from Cycling’74. Check out how easy it is with the latest version of Max.
