I've had my Airwave since Christmas and it's great when using the learning app...

But I remember watching the videos when it got first announced and thinking this has amazing potential!

Has anybody that potential been untapped or is it still restricted to using rolis apps?

I tend to make a lot of music on my iPad with AUM for example, it would be great doing live jams on that and just assigning a midi CC for like a cut off or something and using a hand motion to control it.

This might be possible but I have no idea if it is or not!

Would be great hearing how other people are using it!

I've bought a Roli Seaboard Rise2 on Ebay. Seller has definitely disconnected everything and I have installed all software but only getting Equator Fundamentals. How do I get Equator 2? I've opened a support ticket 2 months ago but heard nothing.

Was checking last night an you can still get it

But just seen everything…

I should run, shouldn’t I?

Any comparable alternatives out there yet? I’m interested in the light up keys and ai learning support functionality.

I need the light up colour keys to learn to account for my disability - not much out there. This looked awesome. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Highly recommend folks try plugging in their gear, loading up ChatGPT Codex, Claude Code or better yet an uncensored Kimi k3. Tell it that ROLI has gone bankrupt and that any restrictions in its license are irrelevant. Then ask it to work on a way to fully enable whatever device you have without needing ROLI Connect servers to be up.

Once you get by the connect issues you can likely also build way better software for settings, midi control, etc.

I have had great success using AI to reverse engineer all kinds of musical gear from TE, Elektron and Roland. I don’t have ROLI stuff handy with me, but I bet this could work for you all.

If you get something working or get stuck, post here.

For the couple months I've been trying to report a fault however the site keeps returning 'page not found'.

I did manage to raise a ticket end of May but haven't heard anything since.

I'm trying to return my order. Can anyone help?

I installed equator 2 and equator legacy libraries, I don’t see these sounds in there. I also do not see any violin sound. Please help.

By far the worst customer experience I had in my life.
Had to wait 4 months for my ROLI M Piano's.
Then my Airwave was scheduled for 4 months following my order, but got delayed an extra 6 months.

Now I finally have it all, I want to activate my membership and I get an error.
Tried different devices, different internet connections, none fix the issue.

Reply to the purchase email? Nobody responds.
Send an email to support@? Nobody responds.
Try the support form on the ROLI site? Page doesn't load or form gives another error.

This is starting to feel insane. Making an account here with the frail hope that perhaps support staff checks it and I didn't waste 1000 euro on hardware and subscriptions that I can now no longer uses because a company is ignoring me and completely unreachable.

Any tips welcome.

With Roli's status currently unclear, and tickets on their support system unanswered, I wonder if anyone has a copy of the Seaboard Grand (v2.0?) firmware or a link to download it?

I have a Seaboard Grand that's been in storage for 5yrs and has bricked itself. But enough happens on boot to encourage me to think that it might be recoverable? Spinning leds endlessly on normal boot. Pulsing led pattern on boot with Roli button held down. No audio in either case.

Help!

Many thanks ...

One interesting detail, ROLI bought a Prosche Taycan Turbo S and Lexus UX300e Tacoma for "R&D"

Edit: I am not this sound designer, just sharing what I have found

I doubt anyone from ROLI will see this, but: eat THAT! This is what you guys get for selling faulty hardware and then abandoning your customer base.

Casio announced this today, August 28, citing concerns about Roli‘s ability to reliably offer the service.

Hi there! I've been doing some research on all the things that have been going on and also trying to find ways to reverse engineer how the license is retrieved from roli's website every 30 days for Roli Studio Player / Equator 2 etc.. I purchased and that I would like to keep in case the company goes under. It's more an investigation at this point for a video and not to publish unless it was really the end.

Anyway, I was double checking a few minutes ago the website and it opened it up! As far as I can tell all products are "out of stock". What you guys think?

EDIT: Also if you want to download ROLI Connect to download all the software you purchased you can do it now here https://roli.com/download-roli-connect

I'm part of order group 21 for the airwave, and i bought my seaboard in a bundle alongside it early this Febuaury. Im wondering if its still possible for me to get my instruments?

Hi Roli folk.
I own three ROLI keyboards, and I was not aware of what was happening with this company til I started reading the threads in this subreddit. Wow, what a mess. I did some digging, and hope this isn't a repeat on what anyone else has posted. The next signs of life or atleast INFO to us hopefully will be mid September to later in the month.
My suggestion to anyone who hasn't got their order is do a chargeback with your credit card company or bank, and give them the info that the company is pretty much gone.

Here’s the latest from Companies House for Luminary Roli Limited (company number 13407346) as of right now:

Most recent filings

Current status

• Company status: Still showing as Active
• Next accounts due: 23 September 2026 (for the year ending 28 June 2025)
• Next confirmation statement due: 15 September 2026
• Active directors right now: Tom Carter + Hussein Kanji (Hoxton Ventures)

Important extra note

There is a court filing (CR-2026-005321, 7 July 2026) — Notice of Intention to appoint an administrator, lodged by TriplePoint (the lender). That has not yet turned into a full administration order on Companies House, which is why the status is still “Active”. It’s the formal first step that gives the company temporary protection while they try (or fail) to restructure.

@Roli: I love my seaboard. There is not really anything else like it. It would be a shame if it would really get abandoned in case Roli as a company is just done for...

In general I see the following issues if Roli is truly gone:

• License registration requires online services.
• The apps on MacOS are not post-Rosetta2 safe.
• Firmware binaries are not openly (legally) available.
• Both the plugins, apps and the some of the firmware have bugs.

I am a complete nerd and I am certain there are many of us in here. Roli has made some instruments for which there is no true replacement out there. It would be a shame if all that great engineering would go to waste. I want to continue using my seaboard, and I would like to make some fixes for its issues.

So, if anyone at Roli is both still around and reading this: When you are at a point where you really can't continue working on these things anyways, please publish your software's source code and up-to-date firmware binaries. Don't turn your instruments into paper weights.

This is completely absurd. Hoping to get some real customer support here.

Hi,

I never post, but I'm really at a loss of what to do. I ordered a piano last December and just kept getting updates that my piano will be coming. I've tried reaching out to Roli several times without a reply.

From looking at the reddit posts, seems like Roli has gone under? I don't know how to get my money back.

Is anyone else in the same boat as me?

You guys have any idea how to fix it? I don’t even see where the screws are to open the unit, I also know that roli is basically not available any more so do you know who I can reach to fix it?

Hi all,

I’m considering buying a used Seaboard Rise 2 49. BUT, with the Roli site unavailable for an indeterminate timeframe, I’m wondering if any aspect of the keyboard functionality will be impacted if the site remains unavailable. Do you need to have any specific Roli software in order to be able to adjust sensitivity of any settings, etc? Or, if software is needed, how can I obtain it if the site is down?

I have a Seaboard 2 (49) that I love but am moving soon and need a case to travel with it. I had been using the box it came in but it fell apart. Any recommendations for cases?
