ROLI Introduces LUMI, An Illuminated Keyboard That Teaches You How To Play

ROLI has introduced LUMI, a new portable, illuminated keyboard that is designed to teach users how to play the keyboard alongside the LUMI app. Multiple LUMI’s can be connected together to create a full-size keyboard, as well as connected to the Seaboard Block, Lightpad Block, and others in the ROLI BLOCKS system.

Features

• FULL-COLOR ILLUMINATION: Play anywhere. LUMI Keys glows, even outdoors. ROLI Brightkey™ technology makes it the brightest keyboard ever made. State-of-the-art ray trace analysis and a Fresnel Lens-inspired design creates 10,800 millicandela of light in each key distributed from end to end.
• UNIQUELY PLAYABLE KEYS: LUMI’s keys don’t just look amazing. They feel amazing too. They have a custom size of DS 5.5® which is optimized for the average human hand, plus 92% of the plunge distance of a grand piano key. This makes LUMI’s keys more comfortable to play than any other compact, portable keyboard.
• MODULAR EXPANDABILITY: Snap two or more LUMI Keys together to instantly expand your keyboard. ROLI’s patented magnetic connectors and an edge-to-edge design come together to make LUMI Keys the world’s first fully expandable keyboard.
• COMPACT, LIGHTWEIGHT, AND PORTABLE: Compact and lightweight, LUMI Keys can travel anywhere. At just 600g it weighs less than an iPad Pro. It’s smaller than almost all laptops, so it fits easily in bags and backpacks. When you’re taking LUMI on the go, you can protect the keyboard in style with a custom-made Snapcase.
• A COLORFUL SOFTWARE COMPANION: The LUMI app, its song library and LUMI Keys were designed to create a single, unified experience. The colors in the app and the lights on the keyboard integrate and interact perfectly, from the moment you pair them wirelessly via Bluetooth.
