Company mission
Luminary ROLI's mission is to enable more people to experience the transformative power of life-long music making.
Our take
Innovation in music production has been focused on software over the last decade.
ROLI's focus is on new hardware, bridging the gap so more music listeners become music creators. Their belief is that not enough people learn instruments because they are not smart enough, not because of a lack of talent.
Musical instruments don't change often, for example the electric keyboard has been dominant for 30 years.

The company believes that music is a source of joy and its mission is to give more people access to the experience of learning and creating music. It's inspiring to know that my work day to day ultimately contributes to that.

When we spend so much of our lives working and navigating the rollercoaster of life it's so important to have management that supports you and that really cares about you which I totally feel working here.

The mission at Luminary ROLI has always been very clear and from a place of love for music and learning. As someone who has always wanted to be able to play the piano, the idea of making this learning process easier and more accessible for everyone whilst also catering to the established music pros is and will always be very inspiring.
