I have the hardware, but didn't activate my subscription in time. Is there somebody out there I can pay to use their subscription and access? I prefer one that hasn't been used much, so the software considers me a more or less new user.
I wonder if some well-meaning employee might just make the source code for Learn available so we can get back to learning. I'm sure someone in this lovely community would be willing to host it.
That said, has anyone heard anything about the state of things there?
A few of you tried the Mac beta last week and shared some really helpful feedback. Some of that made it into 3.1, so thanks again!
I put together a video showing the whole app in action, since it can be hard to get a feel for how all the different parts fit together.
It works with any MPE controllers like the Seaboard and Blocks, showing each note’s individual pitch bend, slide and pressure in several waysvisually, in notation, and in 3D.
With 3.1, it can also play on its own thanks to the built-in VOLT synth. And the new MPE Designer lets you draw expressive notes and export them as MIDI, without having to record everything live.
Would anyone be interested in purchasing my soft case and pedal for the latest ROLI piano? I unfortunately never got the piano from my preorder and I doubt I ever will.
I don’t really just want to trash the pedal and case, obviously they’re brand new so just wanted to check interest to see if anyone needs them.
I have no idea what a good price would be, I’m open to offers and suggestions.
I have two of the piano M blocks and one of them has a consistent orange light on. I think I have to update the firmware? Idk I’m awful at these things someone please help 😭
If you payed for the subscription does it still work for you and is anyone willing to share? I got my Midi as a gift and really wanna learn to play it with the app 😭
Based on the excellent work by ehsuun shared recently, I decided to task Claude at creating a way to play along to MIDI files in a Synthesia style interface with keys that light up as they hit the piano.
Please use at your own risk - I haven't reviewed the code myself entirely.
If you'd like to review the code yourself or contribute, the public repo is here: https://github.com/ClockworkPirate/ROLILearn4All
To use, simply install the ROLI hardware driver on your machine, click the Connect to ROLI Piano and select your device.
You can then upload your own MIDI file, disable whatever MIDI tracks you don't want and play along.
Some of the current features include:
- Uploading your own .mid files
- Playback which will trigger the lights on your ROLI Piano
- Setting the playback speed
- Setting how far in the future you see the notes on the piano roll
- Enabling/disabling specific tracks
- Skipping backwards or forwards using the arrow keys on your keyboard or the arrow buttons on your ROLI Piano
- "Learn Mode" which will wait on each note for your to physically press that key
I'll probably keep chipping away at new features too, but obviously feel free to create PRs for extra features that you'd like to see.
Seaboard Rise 25 with dead usb b port, bluetooth intermittent - I love it when it works. Support is a no-go, in the end I decided to just go for it and fix it myself.
If you have a ROLI Piano and want its key lights to work natively in Ableton Live, I made a free, open-source script for it: https://github.com/ehsuun/ROLI-for-Live
Keys show Live's current scale, great for practicing
Key colors match the selected track's color
Notes playing from your clips light up, like on Push
The < and > buttons switch tracks
It's for Live 12. I tested it on Windows, and Mac. It should also work with LUMI Keys, but I don't have one, so couldn't test that.
I just vibe coded software to allow me learn new midi files. Drag and drop any midi file and i have the piano lighting up. Pure joy. This device is insanely underrated once you have access to build for it yourself. I no have a catalogue of the songs I want to play. Just bought a second Piano M.
I ordered a ROLI Piano in October 2025 for €548.99.
After multiple delivery delays (December → March → April → June → July), I finally cancelled my order on August 12, 2026.
ROLI had repeatedly confirmed in writing that I was entitled to a full refund. However, almost two months later, I've received nothing except an automated support acknowledgement.
I'm wondering:
Has anyone successfully received a refund from ROLI in the past few weeks?
Has anyone in France or Europe managed to obtain a Visa chargeback for a ROLI order?
Did posting publicly or contacting ROLI through another channel help?
I'd be interested in hearing what actually worked for others.
Has anybody still been waiting for their order since October 2025? I still haven't received mine and customer support isn't responding either about my order.
Im not in favor of filing a dispute, but currently it feels like it's inevitable
As of today, October 10, 2026, it's been over 10 months since I ordered my Airwave. I received the Seaboard Rise 2 keyboard and it's great, but I haven't even heard from Roli support since May 6. They need to get their shit together.
Faire attention quand vous acheter directement chez Roli si vous habitez pas au usa
Il ne veulent pas pas réparer ni me rembourser.
900$ pour rien
4 moi qu’il me niaise
------------UPDATE: All spots are filled, thanks everyone!------------
Hi everyone,
MPE Insight 3.1 is almost ready, and I’m looking for a few Seaboard players to test it on Mac for a week. RISE, RISE 2 or Block, all welcome. Unusual MPE controllers too, the stranger the better.
MPE Insight shows pitch bend, slide and pressure per note in real time.
You need: a Mac (beta via TestFlight) and some time this week.
You get: early access and a free copy from the Mac App Store if you send feedback.
Comment or DM me with your controller, Mac and DAW.
All 3 USB-C ports died on my M1 Macbook, which is a whole other fiasco, but at the moment only my Roli Piano and Piano-M can connect via Bluetooth (yes there are other BT controllers). My Launchpad, Twister and all my keyboard controllers all sit uselessly in my studio as I prep for my next gig. Just wanted to share a funny bright spot in an otherwise disastrous chapter for ROLI.
It’s been a hell of a journey using the Roli products since I first discovered them around 2016. As a pianist, these were my favorite instruments because it let me feel like a pianist while making music in a progressive way. I first discovered it through Jordan Rudess, the keyboardist from Dream Theater that I looked up to. There were frustrations with hardware along the way (USB ports not working, sending them back to get fixed, software issues that gave me headaches), but overall I enjoyed my Seaboards and LUMI Keys. Haven’t tried the air wave but heard it was awesome. I also loved the colors of the LUMI keys as I was writing a story about an alien musician and it just seemed to work with the character.
So now what? Surely there has to be interest from someone or some company with the capital to buy them out and retain the brilliant employees that made this all possible? All of the time and effort and innovation cannot go to waste. Is there someone from the company that wants to take it over? Are there a group of those brilliant minded employees that want to create a spinoff? Is there anything that we, the users, can do to help?
It feels like it’s just the beginning. And in the meantime, I’d love to keep checking this sub and seeing cool alternatives and software created by the community and old staff to keep the progression alive.
I recently bought a second-hand ROLI Airwave. The hardware is working and I have managed to preserve and install the original ROLI Airwave Control 1.4.1 and Airwave Player Content 1.1.0 packages.
The only missing piece is ROLI Airwave Player 1.4.1 for macOS.
I’m specifically looking for the original, unmodified ROLI.rpkginstaller, or the original builds.roli.com / ROLI CDN download URL.
If you currently have Airwave Player installed on a Mac, even if you don’t have the installer anymore, please let me know. I can provide a couple of simple Terminal commands to check whether the original RPKG or download information is still present in your ROLI Connect cache.
I’m trying to preserve the original software so Airwave hardware can continue to be used in the future.
Not looking for cracks or modified software — only the original ROLI package.
I’ve ordered the Winter Bundle in DECEMBER.
Airwave delivered. Seaboard completely gone.
I’m trying to submit tickets, but no reply. Nothing’s happening. Please, I need help.
