UK-based global pioneers of award-winning music technology, ROLI today launch their cult range of musical instruments and LUMI keys in Australia and New Zealand.

In 2014, ROLI set out with a goal to empower everyone to make music with accessible tools and technology. Since then, they have continued to revolutionise music creation and education with next-generation hardware and software instruments.

Seaboard, ROLI’s award-winning keyboard, launched in 2014 to international acclaim and remains an artist staple, providing portable yet powerful support whether at home, in studio, or on the live stage. By reimagining what a keyboard could do – the Seaboard launched a family of instruments that gave musicians more sounds and effects at their fingertips to become more expressive than ever possible.

Meanwhile, once the most-funded musical education Kickstarter of all time, LUMI has transformed the music student experience since launching in 2019. The LUMI series combines an illuminated keyboard, interactive app, and rich educational content, to become an all-in-one platform for learning piano at all levels.

Behind any ROLI product is cutting-edge design. ROLI is the world leader in MIDI polyphonic expression (MPE), a revolutionary technology that allows digital instruments to mirror the nuanced control of acoustic counterparts. Expression is a core & unique fundamental of the range and is enabled through music tech. As ROLI seeks to make musical touch technology more accessible, its full range of devices and tools have expanded to include handheld drumpads to stage-performance soft synths, and software programs with free apps and advanced sound design programs.

ROLI and LUMI products available in Australia and New Zealand from today include:
