MusicRadar verdict: Bright, forward-thinking and admirably ambitious, the studio version of ROLI’s illuminated controller is ultimately let down by its most appealing feature. The web says For someone who has travelled a lot, the fact that it’s USB powered is always a bonus – power supplies can really add to the bulk so the less items to carry the better. The keyboard is plug and play, being up and running within a couple of minutes of being lifted out of the box. Now that CME have released this 37 key version alongside their 25 key original, it’s much more appealing to pro musicians as in addition to writing, it’s possible to do two handed learning or practise while on the road.

That long-awaited recent firmware update added MPE control with per-note pitchbend and proper polyphonic aftertouch, promising to transform the LUMI Keys from an educational tool into an MPE-enabled controller with a typical keyboard form factor. Unlike the five dimensions of touch offered by ROLI’s Seaboard range of controllers, however, the LUMI only offers 4 dimensions - Glide, Strike, Press and Lift.

Features

CME have just released the Xcable which features three connection options – MIDI, sustain pedal and expression pedal. For a pro player the ability to use a sustain is an absolute must and therefore this is a much-welcomed addition. Also if you’re like me with a few retro sound modules, the option of being able to plug in a MIDI cable is another huge bonus. Under each key and button, there is a customized pressure sensor connected to an intelligent circuit board with high processing power. The board processes performance data with very low power consumption. Such data include 128 level full velocity intensity and corresponding polyphonic after-touch control, up to 16,000 step pitch-bend control, and real-time response speed manipulation. Features One of the more startling aspects of this keyboard is the fact that it’s touch sensitive – the full 128 degrees of expression. It also has aftertouch capability which really adds to it’s appeal and usability.

International Conference on Bronchology, Interventional Pulmonology and Respiratory Diseases (ICBIPRD) On the educational front, the LUMI iPad app which connects via Bluetooth is expertly executed, with plenty of video content woven into a stylish interface design, inspiring our keyboard-agnostic teenage test subject to play Gymnopedie No.1 within an hour of powering on the device. The bundled LUMI Essential song lesson content is solely made up of classical and traditional tunes, but if you want more contemporary material, you can opt for the LUMI Complete subscription that offers over 500 songs, more than 130 lessons and 380 exercises. Super-thin, aluminium-bodied Bluetooth MIDI keyboard with 25 full-size keys and polyphonic aftertouch.There’s an iPad app available for the Xkey Air that allows you to configure your settings from the screen, including assigning functions to keys and buttons and setting the velocity curve. Summary All in all, then, LUMI Keys Studio Edition is a bit of a mixed bag. The styling is off the charts, the battery life is good, and those bright, colourful keys are fantastic for scale practice, creating visual social media content or performing on stage. There's a lot to like here, such as the true polyphonic aftertouch, MPE and Bluetooth features and the well-executed educational content when paired with the LUMI app. Most equivalent-sized keyboards will offer the full 25-key, two-octave range for much less money, however, so it really all comes down to the appeal of that extra layer of expressive control delivered by 4D touch. Sadly, for us, the much-lauded bend-per-note feature falls some way short of our expectations. While it works okay for vibrato, the one-semitone limit in Studio Player is frankly odd, and setting up the required ranges for different VST synths was a convoluted affair.Match the pitch bend range in ROLI Dashboard to that in your chosen synth and you’ll get a one-semitone bend. Divide that number by two on the synth to get a two-semitone bend, by three for three semitones, etc. Even having figured that out, achieving the desired bluesy, guitar-style bends when soloing still eluded us, as we simply couldn’t move the keys far enough to the side to bring on the effect without jamming a thumbnail under the key’s left edge and pushing it to the right. We finally gave up when it started to bend notes down when we rolled to the right and vice versa. Playing the LUMI is a joy - it’s very responsive, with no perceptible delay between pressing keys and hearing the notes. The only slight niggle is that, as the keys don’t travel all that far, it’s easy to accidentally trigger notes twice." T3 ROLI products have always offered an innovative, likeable and refreshingly different approach to expressive control. While admirable, we still haven’t found one that stands out as an obvious replacement for a regular MIDi controller keyboard. That said, the 4D multitouch gesture experience is undoubtedly a worthwhile and useful thing to able to call on in the studio for certain applications, and, pitchbend issues notwithstanding, the LUMI Keys Studio Edition still offers a serviceable and relatively affordable way into the ROLI ecosystem.
