Can I use my ROLI or LUMI piano on a Windows PC?

Yes, with a USB cable

Windows recognizes LUMI Keys as a USB MIDI device without any driver. Plug it in with a data USB-C cable and it is ready.

Use Chrome or Edge

Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge support Web MIDI, so browser apps like DOLI PIANO can read your keyboard. Firefox support is limited.

Bluetooth on Windows

Bluetooth MIDI support in Windows browsers is limited. If the keyboard does not appear over Bluetooth, use the cable.

One app at a time

On Windows, a MIDI device is usually used by one app at a time. Close other music software before opening your learning app.

Step by step on Windows

1. Plug the keyboard into a USB port of your PC with a USB-C data cable. 2. Wait a few seconds: Windows installs the standard MIDI driver automatically. 3. Open Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. 4. Open DOLI PIANO and click Start Playing. 5. Click Allow when asked about MIDI devices. 6. Press a key on your keyboard to line it up with the screen.

If Windows does not recognize it

Try another USB port, ideally directly on the computer. Try another cable, as charge-only cables are common. Open Device Manager and check that no device shows a yellow warning. Restart the computer once after the first connection if needed.

Sound and delay on Windows

Sound comes from the PC, so check the selected output device in the taskbar. If you notice a delay, avoid Bluetooth for both the keyboard and your headphones, and close heavy programs running in the background.
