I have just installed the OEM version of Waveform 11 as my Roli Blocks came with an activation code. I already have Waveform 9 (full). In Waveform 9 I can see each Block listed as 'Blocks devices' in the Midi section and I have options to use the Lightpad Block as an XYZ controller (and when I load Waveform the Lightpad changes to XY mode automatically). Waveform 11 gives me no such options, doesn't show Blocks devices, and doesn't auto configure my Lightpad. Was this functionality removed from Waveform or is it only in the Pro version now (which seems odd given that this is the version that ships with the Blocks so you would think it would do a better job of suporting them)?

The BLOCKS section of the MIDI devices page was removed in Waveform 10 after discussions with the Roli team.
Blocks doesn't really work when more than one app wants control of the blocks so the preferred way to set up blocks now is with Roli BLOCKS Dashboard.
Once you've done that (and you might not need to at all if you're just using a basic setup like a Seaboard and Lightpad Block) you just need to enable the MIDI input device and you're good to go.
