I've tried every midi controller out there so I'll probably try this one too 😂 If you want mini-keys for composing on the go, my fave is the Korg microKEY Air 25 -- decent amount of travel on the keys given its small size. If you want a full-size keyboard with this light-up function, there's The ONE Smart Piano. However, that thing is huge cos it has a built-in speaker. LUMI might be the sweet spot between those two devices?

I preordered on the day it launched with the email. Any way I could get an email to see if it's possible to receive by Nov 14th for my daughter's bday?

I kickstarted the LUMI Keys many months back and got one delivered after a lot of hassle with delayed shipping times exacerbated by COVID. It proves to be pretty similar to previous Roli products in that it's really flashy and impressive, but has some rough edges with buggy software that's new and not battle tested. When it works, it's a sleek MIDI controller that connects and plays well with other Roli blocks. It was around 180USD when it was kickstarted so I imagine it goes for more at retail. In my opinion the Seaboard is a much more impressive piece of hardware, though the LUMI Keys are pretty fun. They sell it as a way to learn how to play piano but it hasn't proved to be _super_ good at that for friends I've let try it out. The app for playing Guitar Hero like piano songs requires a subscription for a pretty sparse library with what are often simple melodies you could probably figure out tapping away at random notes on your own.

Wonder if this could be used as a keyboard input for music software, honestly this would make a dope MIDI keyboard 👀

I see little header banner at the top of their site (playlumi.com, not the normal Roli site) that says pre-orders Oct 1. (Was supposed to be yesterday but apparently that didn't quite pan out...)

It's been stated before. Kickstarter backer, while it's fine, the thinner keys and low bar app leave much to be desired for it's MSRP. Hope they can figure out licensing to get to what they promised in being a top notch training tool.

@adokarasev I ordered one on Kickstarter some time ago. I've used it few times and It's a bit too complicate for my needs. If you're interested let me know I'm willing to sell it. :)
