ROLI, pioneer of tactile music technology including the Seaboard and Blocks hardware, has unveiled a brand new platform aimed at music-makers of all levels from beginner through to skilled keyboard players. A modular combination of hardware and software, it leverages the company’s DNA connectors and stable of apps to open up new worlds of creative possibility. It ships October 2019 but is available to pre-order now. Here’s what they have to say about it.

Playing a musical instrument is one of the great joys of life. Only problem is, it takes years of practice. That’s why a lot of people don’t learn, even though they love music. But we’ve figured out a new, smarter way to learn and play.

LUMI lets everyone play and jam along to hit songs. You’ll be more musical in minutes — and amazed at how quickly you progress!   

LUMI is a fully illuminated keyboard and interactive app. Everything is connected by light and color. Just follow the colors in the app and the lights on the keyboard, and you can’t go wrong. 

LUMI Keys and the LUMI app work together so you can:

  • PLAY great songs, note by note, just by following the lights — in your own time, at your pace. When you’re ready, move onto colored notes or sheet music. 
  •  JAM along to songs, just like you’re in the band. The chords and notes in the song’s scale light up, so you can improvise in real time. 
  • LEARN music fundamentals not only by playing, but also through fast and fun interactive lessons.

 IT’S FOR EVERYONE

LUMI is for anyone who ever wanted to play an instrument. It’s also for people who want to revive forgotten piano skills, and it’s even for musicians who want a fun, portable way to play.
