My ROLI Learn app is gone. How can I still use my ROLI or LUMI piano?

Your keyboard is not dead

LUMI Keys is a standard MIDI keyboard. The app was only one way to use it. Without ROLI Learn, the keyboard still sends every note you play to any computer or app that understands MIDI, which is almost all music software.

The quickest way to keep learning

Plug your LUMI Keys into a Mac or Windows computer with its USB-C cable, open Google Chrome and go to DOLI PIANO. Allow MIDI access when Chrome asks, pick a song and follow the falling notes. There is nothing to install, no account and no subscription.

What you get back

Songs arranged to fit exactly 24 keys, falling notes that show which key to press, a Guided mode that waits for you, a Rhythm mode you can slow down to 25%, and the possibility to import your own MIDI files.

Other options

You can also use your LUMI Keys in GarageBand, Logic, Ableton Live or any desktop app that turns MIDI files into falling notes. These are great for making music, but most are not designed around 24 keys.

In short

Keep your keyboard. Connect it to a computer, open a MIDI-compatible app such as DOLI PIANO, and continue where ROLI Learn left off.

What exactly disappeared

ROLI Learn, previously called LUMI Music, was the companion app that held the song library, the lessons and the progress tracking. When an app is removed from the store, it can no longer be downloaded, and copies already installed may stop working after a system update. None of this changes the hardware: the keyboard has no lessons stored inside it. It simply sends a message each time you press or release a key, and that message is the same universal MIDI language used by keyboards from every brand since the 1980s.

Step by step: back to playing in two minutes

1. Charge your keyboard or plug it in with a USB-C data cable. 2. On a Mac or Windows computer, open Google Chrome. 3. Go to DOLI PIANO and click Start Playing. 4. When Chrome asks to use your MIDI devices, click Allow. 5. Press any key on your keyboard: the app recognizes it and lines up the 24 keys on screen with yours. 6. Open the library, choose a song in its easiest version and follow the falling notes. If nothing happens at step 5, try another cable first: many USB-C cables only charge.

Keep your progress going

Without the official app, structure is what most people miss. A simple routine works well: ten minutes of an exercise such as a scale, then ten minutes on one song in Guided mode, then one run of the same song in Rhythm mode at a slower speed. When a song feels easy, move to its next version: right hand only, then both hands with simple bass notes, then full chords.
