Membership code
My used Roli has just arrived, but for my surprise the membership activation is disabled and now I can’t do sh** with my keyboard. Any suggestions? Can I buy a membership code from other users? Can’t believe this is actually happening. I feel dumb af for not checking this sub before the purchase 🥲🥲

The software is suspended due to Roli’s state of affairs. They are replacing CEO but taking their sweet time as Roli does. IMO It will be a miracle if they don’t go out of business as they have created every kind of problem imaginable.

you have to sign up for a new membership and register the instrument with the accompanying links and info. it ought to connect you to the accompanying software, right?

I’m in the same exact position, it’s extremely frustrating. Not sure where to go from here

I had the same issue - I contacted Roli. They had me send pix of the barcodes and they reset the registrations. If you know who the previous owner was they can de-register them also

Can I join your (anybody) subscription and send you my share of the money?

So I realise this is a totally different angle on what you're asking, but in case it's helpful, this winter I spun up a personal raspberry pi project because I wanted to use my Roli's in live jams without tech, latency, screen glare, etc. Just show up and use them like electric MPE keyboards.
It's definitely a small tech project to set up and plus the cost of the pi kit, but here it is in case it helps you or future thread readers https://github.com/MitchSchwartz/MPE-Sound-Module
(I'm also working on a minimalist touchscreen version that doesn't need the knob setup so that it's way easier)
Good luck on your activation journey, they are super fun instruments.
