On September 3, 2021, media reported that ROLI had filed for administration under UK business law. Administration is not the same as bankruptcy, but the administration process has some similarities, insofar as the firm acknowledges that it cannot pay all its debts, to enable a restructuring plan to be set up. [4] ROLI is relaunching as Luminary, a subscription-based keyboard teaching system for novice keyboard players. Luminary uses a light-up keyboard that shows you which notes to play, along with a subscription-based music instructional software.[4]
