Plug in to begin — it's easy!

5D TOUCH

Be more musically expressive

Bend, shape, and express your sound in totally new ways on two touch-responsive musical surfaces. The Seaboard Block and Lightpad Block let you play expressive melodies and beats through 5 Dimensions of Touch.

Explore hundreds of expressive sounds

Play hundreds of presets from GarageBand's Alchemy synth, ROLI's Equator sound engine and more — all directly browsable in GarageBand. Hear a selection of these deeply expressive sounds below:

PRODUCE

Creative control at your fingertips

Sketch and complete your musical ideas faster than ever before with seamlessly integrated hardware and software. The Loop Block lets you play, record and navigate around your track, without moving back and forth from your MacBook. For more in-depth control, customize the Lightpad Block surface for tweaking effects, switching scales, or mixing volume levels in GarageBand projects.

TRAVEL

Case it, carry it, play it

The Songmaker Kit GarageBand Edition comes with a stylish, protective Snapcase. It holds the kit together and protects the Blocks when you carry them around. Put your Songmaker Kit and MacBook in your bag, and then make your music anywhere.
