ROLI announces their brand new LUMI Keys Studio Edition
Light up your sound with the world’s first keyboard controller offering per-key pitch-bend and polyphonic aftertouch, plus whole-key illumination that sparks new ideas for playing and composing.
Bend pitch and more on the first "4D" controller
For the first time ever on a keyboard controller, bend pitch through vibrato-like movements on each key and add depth to your sound with polyphonic aftertouch. Transform your tracks with acoustically natural expression through Four Dimensions of Touch — Strike, Press, Glide, and Lift — that make LUMI Keys the first "4D" keyboard controller.
Compose in a new light
LUMI Keys gives you a better way to compose: light. Illuminate scales, chords, arpeggios in any key. Map drum parts to colors on the keys. Spark new ideas by seeing, as well as hearing, where your project can go. Smart composition features in ROLI Studio integrate perfectly with LUMI Keys, integrate seamlessly with third party software.
Explore the sounds and features of ROLI Studio
100s of MPE and standard MIDI sounds, intricately crafted by ROLI sound designers, are yours to explore in ROLI Studio, the desktop software suite that comes with LUMI. Discover production features like Smart Chords that are advanced, intuitive, and endlessly engaging as you fine-tune your sounds.
Take BLOCKS to the next level
Modular and connectable, LUMI Keys is part of the BLOCKS family. Snap it together with the Lightpad Block, and you create one of the most powerful mobile music-making setups imaginable. Play on LUMI Keys and control parameters on the Lightpad Block, through their custom integration with ROLI Studio.
Two, three, or four LUMIs become one
Expand LUMI Keys instantly. Magnetic DNA connectors, pioneered for BLOCKS, let you snap two, three, or four keyboards together to create a 48, 72, or even 96-key playing surface. Edge-to-edge design — and seamless integration through hardware, software, and firmware — make multiple LUMIs play as one.
Compact, versatile, and brilliant for any setup
LUMI Keys works for any setup, whether you're in the studio or on the move. With DS5.5-sized keys that are ⅞ the width of standard keys, LUMI is the most compact keyboard of its kind. Wireless and as light as an iPad Air, it travels anywhere, but also fits easily into any studio setup.
