DOLI PIANO in Guided mode: colored falling notes moving towards a 24-key on-screen piano matching a LUMI Keys keyboard — DOLI PIANO in Guided mode with a connected LUMI Keys: notes fall towards the 24 keys.

You can learn piano for free with your Akai MPK Mini in DOLI PIANO, a browser app with falling notes, songs and short beginner lessons. There's nothing to install, no account and no subscription: plug the keyboard in and start playing.

How to connect your Akai MPK Mini

Connect a USB cable to its USB port and to your computer, then open DOLI PIANO in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Allow MIDI access when the browser asks. To check that every key is detected first, use the free MIDI keyboard test.

What works

Falling notes, the song library, your own imported MIDI files and the lessons all work with the Akai MPK Mini. With 25 keys, it covers the two octaves shown on screen. Light-up keys are only available on LUMI Keys and ROLI Piano M, so the notes to play are shown on screen instead.

Tip

Its 25 mini keys match the two octaves on screen, which makes it a fun first keyboard.
