Yes, it is

Like a real piano, LUMI Keys and ROLI Piano M send a different value depending on how hard you press a key. Soft presses sound quiet, strong presses sound loud.

How to check it

Open the free MIDI keyboard test and press a key softly, then strongly. The velocity number, from 1 to 127, should change each time.

If it never changes

If the number is always the same, a fixed velocity setting may be on in the keyboard settings. Reset it in ROLI's own settings, then test again.
