Please make sure that the Bluetooth Radio is turned on on your piano first, I'd suggest checking that. It's Function 15 I think, and make sure it's on, and also make sure that no other device has auto-connected to it by accident. Hope that helps!
For those with an FP-10. Pressing the function key and the fifth last black key counting from the right end (ie the rightmost C sharp) will enable Bluetooth. My Bluetooth worked out of the box but then suddenly stopped. This trick fixed it. I must have unwittingly disabled it!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have had my FP-30 for a few weeks and just today after watching your video I FINALLY got the bluetooth up and running!
@@NoName-tt9ye Yes it does. At times it is a little tricky to get the app and the FP30 to sync, but all the functions on Piano Partner 2 work just fine.
Thanks for your videos they are well done, informative and helpful. I purchased an FP 90 and tried ALL your suggestions to get Piano Partner 2 to recognize my keyboard through my Samsung Galaxy S10+ with no luck. I spoke with Roland today and was told for some reason android devices need to have LOCATION turned on (and everything else you mentioned) for it to connect. It worked for me.
Big thanks to you. I had big issues in connecting my fp90 with bluetooth midi with my iPad. I was trying and trying to connect it through the bluetooth settings on my iPad, but didn't work. But with your explanation it finally worked!! hurra!
Hi, There, If you plug headphones in will the sound go through them and still receive audio from the iPad? I want to be able to practice silently but still play along with the songs on my iPad.
Thank you so much! I didn’t know that you could either have midi or audio. Thanks for taking the time to show us! Am practicing so that I can play as beautifully as you do....in about 12 years. :)
I have been looking for info on the Roland Go:Piano. It has the midi over Bluetooth feature and you are the first to actually clarify that this is a two way connection. Thank you. What still isn't clear is if this is locked into Roland software. Can I use Bluetooth midi with a daw? Hell can I use midi over USB without Roland software? Audio over Bluetooth to the piano is cute. It would have been much more useful to send audio the other way: for recording, headphones, streaming an audio signal... If I have understood correctly this is not available.
since a couple of persons seems to have the same doubt, I can answer (at least for the Roland FP-10) to that now since I've bought one and the answer is no. And in general latency seems to be a problem for bluetooth, which is absolutely fine for many things but not for playing with wireless headphones (I've seen there are some low latency bluetooth devices but I don't know about that, altough someone said to me that still the latency is not low enough to play an instrument)
If you use piano partner 2 app with fp90 will the rythym feature add a bass line along with drums that corresponds with your playing?the kawai es8 has this and the Yamaha p515 also has this.
Helpful, thanks. Anyone know if FP-30x can connect to a PC via bluetooth for MIDI? Or where to find details on how? I had a brief connection, but no midi driver apparently. Then the connection dropped. Still shows as paired. (Windows 11, but should work same way as 10)
my Mac"sees" the bluetooth keyboard (FP10) also it is recognised in my DAW(Logic) but no midi is coming in- you said in the video it is possible- couldn't do it!
Hey Stu how about bluetooth headphones?? Which play and the keyboard speakers are silent. I have a sound problem with a neighbour and want to play just with the headphones at night. Thx Jeffri
Hi Jeff! The issue with Bluetooth headphones is that there is latency between the playing a note/key and hearing it played back. While the latency does not have any impact on listening to music, it is very problematic when playing piano as it is important to receive immediate feedback sonically when you're playing and pressing keys. With that said, virtually all digital pianos will have wired headphone jacks for you to be able to play silently at night. :)
@@MerriamPianos thankyou very much - I was wondering why it was never mentioned. Loving my RolandFP90X - the sounds it produces are incredible and very inspiring. This is why I bought it and it certainly delivers.
Is there any way to get the midi from GarageBand (iPad) to playback on the FP-30X speakers? Actually it does when I play from the iPad, but when I play the FP-30X, I still hear the sounds coming from the piano with GarageBand? A midi-CABLE maybe..?
i have a roland GO:88 piano and i am trying to get the midi in my computer through bluetooth. I only see the audio, so my system sounds can go into the piano, not the midi into my computer. i can't find the device.
Hmm I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing some issues. Given that the issue could be caused by a number of reasons, it is difficult to troubleshoot the issue remotely. Perhaps, checking out piano forums might help. You may get lucky and find someone that is using a similar hardware/software configuration as you and has resolved similar issues. Best of luck!
Is it possible to have midi and audio over Bluetooth simultaneously? Use case: connect to e.g. GarageBand, choose an instrument like „heavy metal organ“, play it using midi over bluetooth and have the synthesized audio played back on the DP-internal speakers? The Yamaha p125 can do this without lag. This way you have a ton of synthesizing apps available for live play, you can manipulate these apps interactively (kick in the rotating speakers), have in teaching apps the instructors voice and the instrument at the same time, etc. pp. For P125 I can confirm this works with usb, has anybody tried out this with Roland DPs?
Thanks for the tutorial video. The low rating (2.1 from 133 ratings) of the new Roland Piano app on Google Play mostly is about the Bluetooth connection. One of my devices can see my FP-30X audio, but not its MIDI for some reason.
You're very welcome! Some users do seem to have some issues with Bluetooth connectivity. Hopefully, this issue can be resolved with future updates to the app.

Hi ... I have recently purchased Roland FP 60X digital piano. But Piano Partner 2 app is saying incompatible with this model while installing the required files. Piano Designer app is working normally. Is Piano Partner 2 app is incompatible? Then how to access in-built Rhythms and other hidden functions? Thanks
Good video. Thanks. How do I get audio to play out an F-140r? The piano partner 2 connect is fine, but I can’t get audio from the device to the piano, in order to play along as you did so brilliantly over Carmen?
How on earth does one transfer the recorded midi recordings from Piano Partner2 into a computer software, such as Mac OS X Logic Pro? I can't find a way to send the files out of the app itself, which essentially renders the app useless to me.
I would have preferred for the fp30 to be used to demonstrate Bluetooth function, since it’s more complex. Using the fp90 to demonstrate is kind of easy since it has a screen.
I had issues with the bluetooth. It was showing Connected but the sound was not coming out from the speakers, only from the phone. Seems like the piano needs to be connected to power using the dc adaptor and that fixed the problem for me.
I just got an FP-30X but this app on Android is telling me that my device is "imcompatible" (the app has a few weird language errors). How come the most popular model is not compatible with this app?
On FP 30 you dont know which fonction is on or off im pretty sure. So F15 or F16 and you dont see any "N" sign you dont know it unless im blind. What i want to know aswell is if anyone can connect their smartphone to my piano right? I mean theres no way to deny it. Even thought i dont see the point but still.
I tried for days to connect my tablet via bluetooth (which I have had for a few years.). I finally gave up and tried it on my android phone which is a newer device and it worked. Not sure if the age of the tablet was the issue, but I am happy now that it works with something.
I am not sure if that is actually possible. If you would like to record MIDI files to a DAW, the best bet would be to connect the piano via USB/MIDI ports (or Bluetooth MIDI) to the device that you are running the DAW on.
PLEASE if possible, help for a question. I got a lap top lenovo ideapad flex 5, but unfortunatly it is no possible to connect with my piano ROLAND FP 30, I really don't know why. What's the problem? Drivers? Thank if you can advice right way to solve the question to turn pages
Hi! I followed all your steps and my fp-90 is connected to my iPhone, but for some reason when I try to record in the piano partner 2 app it just won't record. This is one of the biggest reasons I went for a Roland keyboard and now I can't record wirelessly! do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi. I can connect my FP-90 to my android phone with no problem and use the bluetooth speakers through wifi. It is great! I cannot connect my FP-90 to my windows 10 desktop computer through either wifi (doesn't show up on my bluetooth list) or even through the wired connection. So I don't really need it wifi. wired would be fine. Roland FP-90 shows up in the device manager under SOUND VIDEO AND GAME CONTROLLERS. So it is connected... but no way to change my output to Roland FP-90. I want to use the Roland speakers on my desktop. I really believe it is not possible! But I am hoping maybe there is a third person app I can buy.
I'm having similar trouble with getting my windows PC to recognize the USB wired connection on my DP603. I thought this would be easy. Been messing with it all day. I do manage to get some use of the BT Audio using my iPhone. But I get the same issue in device manager under SOUND VIDEO AND GAME CONTROLLERS where it shows DP603, but the MIDI programs say nothing it there. I'm getting worried about Roland on this stuff, their website seems pretty poor for support. The support pages also show the latest OS version for my piano as ver 1.15 and I have ver. 1.17 on my piano.... Hmmmm How about a video on wired MIDI connections for Roland?
I have FP 10 wondering why in my partner 2 app rythm section is greying out ? Did I do something wrong or rythm section is intentioanlly block by Roland.
Hmmm that is a good question. I have not experienced this problem personally, so I am not entirely sure. Perhaps, one of our helpful community members that has dealt with the same issue can chime in.
You made my day! Piano Partner 2 works as described with my F-140R and iOS devices. In order to reconnect again, I have to turn off iPad and iPhone completely before. Otherwise MIDI error message appears.
Hi! Brent here! Bluetooth headphones are not an option for any digital piano. The issue is that there would be a delay between the key being pressed and hearing the sound of the note.
I have FP-10, I I have Samsung S6 Lite, bluetooth is off, I start Piano Partner 2, confirm the Bluetooth on and nothing.... Doesn´t want to detect FP-10 at all, regardless the function key is on.... What is wrong ? I can´t figure out it all... Thanks for help !
FYI I had a lot of problems re-connecting BT (worked fine right away) It seems to need location setting to on, on your phone, as well as a connection to the internet.
I don't know why my fp10 doesn't appear when I scan bluetooth devices on the app even if I forget it in my settings (I'm on Android) Can I get some help?
For anyone struggling to connect an FP10, try Function+C#7 to turn Bluetooth on on the keyboard. You should then be able to see FP10 in the "Connection" dropdown menu. D7 should turn it off.
Is there any possible that connect iPhone to FP30 via Bluetooth Audio? I want to play music like Spotify/RUclips I just only successfully connect to Piano partner 2. Still cannot play music on other app.
really weird, on my piano parten 2 app there is nothing written except scan next to bluetooth midi device and it does nothing it might scan in the voice and do nothing, i just dont understand please help me !
Hi! Brent here! There is a new Roland app called the Roland Piano App. It has effectively replaced Piano Partner 2 and Piano Every Day to my knowledge.
My FP-90X Function Menu Number 9 is not "Bluetooth/Turn MIDI". I went through all 40 functions and there is no "Bluetooth Turn/ MIDI" except for Function 1 which says "Bluetooth" (not "Bluetooth MIDI"). I try to connect to my iPad Roland Piano Partner 2. Function 1 does not work. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
Hi! Brent from Merriam Music here! I am sorry to hear that you've had a bit of a tough time with trying to connect the Bluetooth MIDI on your FP90X. You check out the following article from Roland Australia that breaks down how to connect both Bluetooth Audio and Bluetooth MIDI: rolandcorp.com.au/blog/how-to-connect-your-roland-fp-90x-to-bluetooth-and-apps
@@MerriamPianos ... Thank you for your quick response, Brent! It looks like the Roland Piano Partner 2 (both IOS and Android versions) does not support FP90X. In some fine prints (I forgot where) Roland directed me to install the "Roland Piano App". I found the "Roland Piano App (version 1.1.0 (B069)" in both Apple App Store as well as the Android Play Store. I installed the "Roland Piano App" and I am able to connect to my Roland FP90X without trouble. Again, I appreciate your reply.
Thanks for the question! This is not possible. Bluetooth headphones and earbuds are not compatible with digital pianos. The issue is that there is a latency between when a note is played and when the signal transmits. For this reason, digital pianos do not support them. You will have to use a wired connection.
App will just not find my FP10. It used to, now when i press scan, it just scans for 5 seconds and goes blank again. What a boring problem to have. The FP 10 DOESNT HAVE A SCREEN!
I am very sorry to hear that you have been experiencing problems with app connectivity. It may be worthwhile to reach out to the retailer you purchased the piano from to see if there is an issue with your specific FP10. Best of luck!
@@Nikola16789 I've just received my Ugreen 40761 Bluetooth transmitter. I connected it to a 3.5mm audio jack of my FP-30X from one side and to a USB port from the other. It was a bit tricky to connect my Sennheiser BT 350 Bluetooth headphones to the transmitter. If you face difficulty, just hold a transmitter button for 10 seconds to reset it and then press it twice to enter pairing mode. Then you have to enable the headphones and they should be connected automatically (check that your headphones are not connected to another device and enable the pairing mode on them if needed, and yeah - don't forget to put the volume up on both piano and headphones). So, if you connect just one piece of headphones to the transmitter, it transmits music without latency at all (I press the key and hear the sound as if it comes out of the piano speakers). However! If you connect two headphones to the same transmitter at once (it supports the option), you will have about a half second delay, which is frustrating. Another thing is during the first 15-30 seconds after connecting, you may hear some sound glitches but they disappear shortly and never come back. To sum up, as long as you have a Bluetooth 5.0 headphones with aptX Low Latency codec support, you can connect them to your FP-30X piano and play without any delay 👍
I've described the initial connection process but the next time you have just to enable your headphones and click the transmitter button once to reconnect them.
@@Nikola16789 I've been choosing between Kawai ES110, Yamaha P125 and Roland FP30X since they are in the same, below $1000 price range. Roland is more interesting in terms of keyboard action, that is closer to a real piano and further from synthesizers. It also has more recent features, like two USB ports and Bluetooth, that I'm using. I haven't considered the models that are more expensive, because I'm a beginner and that's enough for me so far. Regarding the two models you mentioned, they both look great at a first glance. I bet, you would not be disappointed with any of them 🙂
I don't understand how to play along to Spotify when connected via Bluetooth. Can connect my tablet, but when I start Spotify the music just comes in the tablet speakers. What am I missing?
The FP-10 doesn’t have the ability to play bluetooth audio from a phone or tablet. He says it at 1:45 or so. It can only send midi over bluetooth. I couldn’t figure out how to connect with my fp-30x initially so my work around was to put on an ear bud from the tablet in one ear and the other ear open to the speaker/headset from the keyboard
Hi! Brent from Merriam Music here! Are you referring to the playing that you record internally within the unit? If that is the case and you are trying to share the recording via Bluetooth, this is not possible. Bluetooth audio allows you to play music from a device through the onboard speaker system of your digital piano. However, you can share recorded songs/playing from your piano as audio (and in mp3 form) by using either the headphone outputs or, if your piano has them, dedicated audio line outs. From here, you would have to run that connection into an audio interface/device that has a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). Within that software, you would be able to record the audio and export/bounce it as an MP3 file. Thanks and all the best!
trying to use the roland fp-60 inside logic prox as a bluetooth midi. Strangely enough it recognizes the device, but hitting the keys doesn't produce any signal.
We're sorry that you found the video difficult to follow. With that said, if you look in the user manual of your Roland piano, there will be a step-by-step written process on how to connect your piano with Bluetooth.
@@MerriamPianos thanks for getting back to me. But the manual instructions are not working for me either. As the manual says to shut down the bluetooth if it does not connect I do this and if still does not connect. Is there no one anywhere to walk me through this? Like a live person. Or a trouble shooting how to manual.
Your tutorial as to the fp30 is in fact: 'i spent hours to find out how to connect your device to your keyboard. I will tell you, it is rather complex. Connect your device via F15"... 😫

Hey Jo Harris - any current iPad will do the trick, you don't need any crazy processing power or RAM, so I'd just get the lowest cost iPad you can find that's from the last 1-2 years to make sure that it has the latest Bluetooth Protocols / radio built in. Thanks! -stu

Hi, I have an FP 10 and I am connected to Bluetooth, but when I play in Garageband app, I get both the sound of what I want from Piano Partner 2 and what is programed on my Garageband app. I watched this video, but because I don't have the fp10 keyboard display, I don't know of a way to tell Garageband not to play its already programed sound and just play the Piano Partner chosen sound. So npw, I am getting both sounds. Can you help me with this?.
The android app is absolute garbage. They must have prioritized iOS unfortunately. I can't even control the metronome on my FP30! All I can do is turn it on or off with NO fine control whatsoever. What use is that when I don't even know what BPM it is? How can I send my recordings to my PC or to my email??
Hi! Brent from Merriam Music here! Unfortunately, wireless Bluetooth headphones are not a viable headphone option to use with digital pianos due to the fact that there is latency (delay) between pressing the key and hearing the sound. Thanks and all the best! :)
1. My search was for how to connect my E-X50, with Bluetooth, to a Bluetooth headphone set. You allude to that at the beginning, but then never go into it. There are a thousand videos on how to connect Roland products to my phone. I need to connect to my Sony Bluetooth Headphones. 2. Did you really do a video where you "say" push this button or that button but actually didn't take the time to add shots where you show which buttons?!? Come on. I don't have you keyboard but I might have been able to cross-tech them if shown the buttons.
Hi there - unfortunately, Bluetooth headphones are not compatible with any digital piano/keyboard due to the fact that there would be a delay between when the note is struck and the sound is produced.

Hi I am thinking about purchasing a GP-607. Does it have both bluetooth MIDI and Audio? Thanks in advance.
Still does not work with FP-30 and Android 10.
I just got an FP-30X but this app on Android is telling me that my device is "imcompatible" (the app has a few weird language errors). How come the most popular model is not compatible with this app?
On FP 30 you dont know which fonction is on or off im pretty sure. So F15 or F16 and you dont see any "N" sign you dont know it unless im blind. What i want to know aswell is if anyone can connect their smartphone to my piano right? I mean theres no way to deny it. Even thought i dont see the point but still.
I'm trying to figure this out too. I also have Fp30
S R me too
I tried for days to connect my tablet via bluetooth (which I have had for a few years.). I finally gave up and tried it on my android phone which is a newer device and it worked. Not sure if the age of the tablet was the issue, but I am happy now that it works with something.
After recording the midi track in the piano partner how do we then transfer that file out so that we could use it other DAWs?
I am not sure if that is actually possible. If you would like to record MIDI files to a DAW, the best bet would be to connect the piano via USB/MIDI ports (or Bluetooth MIDI) to the device that you are running the DAW on.
@@MerriamPianos thank you for your inputs. Truly appreciate it.
Can u connect it via the usb on the back ? Because BT is just asking for latency
Thank soooo much. Connected 😂👍👍
PLEASE if possible, help for a question. I got a lap top lenovo ideapad flex 5, but unfortunatly it is no possible to connect with my piano ROLAND FP 30, I really don't know why.
What's the problem? Drivers? Thank if you can advice right way to solve the question to turn pages
Hi! I followed all your steps and my fp-90 is connected to my iPhone, but for some reason when I try to record in the piano partner 2 app it just won't record. This is one of the biggest reasons I went for a Roland keyboard and now I can't record wirelessly! do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi. I can connect my FP-90 to my android phone with no problem and use the bluetooth speakers through wifi. It is great! I cannot connect my FP-90 to my windows 10 desktop computer through either wifi (doesn't show up on my bluetooth list) or even through the wired connection. So I don't really need it wifi. wired would be fine. Roland FP-90 shows up in the device manager under SOUND VIDEO AND GAME CONTROLLERS. So it is connected... but no way to change my output to Roland FP-90. I want to use the Roland speakers on my desktop. I really believe it is not possible! But I am hoping maybe there is a third person app I can buy.
I'm having similar trouble with getting my windows PC to recognize the USB wired connection on my DP603. I thought this would be easy. Been messing with it all day. I do manage to get some use of the BT Audio using my iPhone. But I get the same issue in device manager under SOUND VIDEO AND GAME CONTROLLERS where it shows DP603, but the MIDI programs say nothing it there. I'm getting worried about Roland on this stuff, their website seems pretty poor for support. The support pages also show the latest OS version for my piano as ver 1.15 and I have ver. 1.17 on my piano.... Hmmmm How about a video on wired MIDI connections for Roland?
I have FP 10 wondering why in my partner 2 app rythm section is greying out ? Did I do something wrong or rythm section is intentioanlly block by Roland.
Hmmm that is a good question. I have not experienced this problem personally, so I am not entirely sure. Perhaps, one of our helpful community members that has dealt with the same issue can chime in.
You made my day!
Piano Partner 2 works as described with my F-140R and iOS devices.
In order to reconnect again, I have to turn off iPad and iPhone completely before. Otherwise MIDI error message appears.
Just want to know if i can get any BT HEADPHONES to connect to fp10?
Hi! Brent here! Bluetooth headphones are not an option for any digital piano. The issue is that there would be a delay between the key being pressed and hearing the sound of the note.
I have FP-10, I I have Samsung S6 Lite, bluetooth is off, I start Piano Partner 2, confirm the Bluetooth on and nothing.... Doesn´t want to detect FP-10 at all, regardless the function key is on.... What is wrong ? I can´t figure out it all... Thanks for help !
FYI I had a lot of problems re-connecting BT (worked fine right away) It seems to need location setting to on, on your phone, as well as a connection to the internet.
Thank you this helped my problem exactly!
Thanks
Can you play a midi file on your phone wirelessly on the fp30 ?
I don't know why my fp10 doesn't appear when I scan bluetooth devices on the app even if I forget it in my settings (I'm on Android)
Can I get some help?
Same here on a Roland Go61p, did you find a solution?
Turn on your location
@Jesus Martinez oh my God thank you so much
@@RadekOpieka No problem! glad I could help
For anyone struggling to connect an FP10, try Function+C#7 to turn Bluetooth on on the keyboard.
You should then be able to see FP10 in the "Connection" dropdown menu.
D7 should turn it off.
Is there any possible that connect iPhone to FP30 via Bluetooth Audio? I want to play music like Spotify/RUclips
I just only successfully connect to Piano partner 2. Still cannot play music on other app.
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH
Can I use the Roland FP 30 as a controller to work on my DAW (Logic Pro X)?
really weird, on my piano parten 2 app there is nothing written except scan next to bluetooth midi device and it does nothing it might scan in the voice and do nothing, i just dont understand please help me !
Hi! Brent here! There is a new Roland app called the Roland Piano App. It has effectively replaced Piano Partner 2 and Piano Every Day to my knowledge.
If I want to record video of me playing using iPhone, can I use the Bluetooth as sound source
My FP-90X Function Menu Number 9 is not "Bluetooth/Turn MIDI". I went through all 40 functions and there is no "Bluetooth Turn/ MIDI" except for Function 1 which says "Bluetooth" (not "Bluetooth MIDI"). I try to connect to my iPad Roland Piano Partner 2. Function 1 does not work. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
Hi! Brent from Merriam Music here! I am sorry to hear that you've had a bit of a tough time with trying to connect the Bluetooth MIDI on your FP90X. You check out the following article from Roland Australia that breaks down how to connect both Bluetooth Audio and Bluetooth MIDI:
rolandcorp.com.au/blog/how-to-connect-your-roland-fp-90x-to-bluetooth-and-apps
@@MerriamPianos ... Thank you for your quick response, Brent! It looks like the Roland Piano Partner 2 (both IOS and Android versions) does not support FP90X. In some fine prints (I forgot where) Roland directed me to install the "Roland Piano App". I found the "Roland Piano App (version 1.1.0 (B069)" in both Apple App Store as well as the Android Play Store. I installed the "Roland Piano App" and I am able to connect to my Roland FP90X without trouble. Again, I appreciate your reply.
My Roland f90 doesn’t have any buttons really beside like 5 little buttons that changes how it sounds...
hi
my roland rp302 version is 1.09
but i can't run my device bluetooth.
please help me
Omg im sold
great,thanks.
…but will the Bluetooth connection allow you to connect to other apps like GarageBand or Cubasis ?
As long as your computer hardware has the more recent BT hardware, yes indeed it will!
I cannot connect to piano with my iphone, i just got roland fp10 today but cannot connect
whenever i try to record midi on my fp-10 the app just close. What‘s the problem ?
Go for Yamaha
I’m sorry but is there anyway i can connect my bluetooth earbuds ( as a headset) to play sound?? I’m going crazy…
Thanks for the question! This is not possible. Bluetooth headphones and earbuds are not compatible with digital pianos. The issue is that there is a latency between when a note is played and when the signal transmits. For this reason, digital pianos do not support them. You will have to use a wired connection.
Can the FP30 connect to Bluetooth headphones?
App will just not find my FP10. It used to, now when i press scan, it just scans for 5 seconds and goes blank again. What a boring problem to have. The FP 10 DOESNT HAVE A SCREEN!
I am very sorry to hear that you have been experiencing problems with app connectivity. It may be worthwhile to reach out to the retailer you purchased the piano from to see if there is an issue with your specific FP10. Best of luck!
Does FP30X support playing audio through Bluetooth headphones?
I could not find such information.
Can anyone please confirm or disprove that?
I believe answer is NO. Based on his review of that device on this channel.
@@Nikola16789 I've just received my Ugreen 40761 Bluetooth transmitter. I connected it to a 3.5mm audio jack of my FP-30X from one side and to a USB port from the other. It was a bit tricky to connect my Sennheiser BT 350 Bluetooth headphones to the transmitter. If you face difficulty, just hold a transmitter button for 10 seconds to reset it and then press it twice to enter pairing mode. Then you have to enable the headphones and they should be connected automatically (check that your headphones are not connected to another device and enable the pairing mode on them if needed, and yeah - don't forget to put the volume up on both piano and headphones).
So, if you connect just one piece of headphones to the transmitter, it transmits music without latency at all (I press the key and hear the sound as if it comes out of the piano speakers). However! If you connect two headphones to the same transmitter at once (it supports the option), you will have about a half second delay, which is frustrating.
Another thing is during the first 15-30 seconds after connecting, you may hear some sound glitches but they disappear shortly and never come back.
To sum up, as long as you have a Bluetooth 5.0 headphones with aptX Low Latency codec support, you can connect them to your FP-30X piano and play without any delay 👍
I've described the initial connection process but the next time you have just to enable your headphones and click the transmitter button once to reconnect them.
@@EAGauss How do you like it so far? I'm deciding between fp60x and es520
@@Nikola16789 I've been choosing between Kawai ES110, Yamaha P125 and Roland FP30X since they are in the same, below $1000 price range. Roland is more interesting in terms of keyboard action, that is closer to a real piano and further from synthesizers. It also has more recent features, like two USB ports and Bluetooth, that I'm using. I haven't considered the models that are more expensive, because I'm a beginner and that's enough for me so far. Regarding the two models you mentioned, they both look great at a first glance. I bet, you would not be disappointed with any of them 🙂
I don't understand how to play along to Spotify when connected via Bluetooth. Can connect my tablet, but when I start Spotify the music just comes in the tablet speakers. What am I missing?
I have the FP-10.
The FP-10 doesn’t have the ability to play bluetooth audio from a phone or tablet. He says it at 1:45 or so. It can only send midi over bluetooth. I couldn’t figure out how to connect with my fp-30x initially so my work around was to put on an ear bud from the tablet in one ear and the other ear open to the speaker/headset from the keyboard
How to share the recorded audio as mp3
Hi! Brent from Merriam Music here! Are you referring to the playing that you record internally within the unit? If that is the case and you are trying to share the recording via Bluetooth, this is not possible. Bluetooth audio allows you to play music from a device through the onboard speaker system of your digital piano. However, you can share recorded songs/playing from your piano as audio (and in mp3 form) by using either the headphone outputs or, if your piano has them, dedicated audio line outs. From here, you would have to run that connection into an audio interface/device that has a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). Within that software, you would be able to record the audio and export/bounce it as an MP3 file. Thanks and all the best!
I am BORROWINg a fp-50 sooo? Does that work
trying to use the roland fp-60 inside logic prox as a bluetooth midi. Strangely enough it recognizes the device, but hitting the keys doesn't produce any signal.
Did you ever find a solution?
@@nirelsharon I am also having this problem.
The kind teacher does not show us which BUTTONS he is pushing!! This is NO HELP for a novice like me. I have no idea what button he is pushing.
We're sorry that you found the video difficult to follow. With that said, if you look in the user manual of your Roland piano, there will be a step-by-step written process on how to connect your piano with Bluetooth.
@@MerriamPianos thanks for getting back to me. But the manual instructions are not working for me either. As the manual says to shut down the bluetooth if it does not connect I do this and if still does not connect. Is there no one anywhere to walk me through this? Like a live person. Or a trouble shooting how to manual.
Your tutorial as to the fp30 is in fact: 'i spent hours to find out how to connect your device to your keyboard. I will tell you, it is rather complex. Connect your device via F15"... 😫
Exactly 😂😭 I’m like say what ?! How do I do this ! Why did Roland make it so hard ! 😫

How to connect it to Windows 10 over bluetooth?
Hi there! I believe you will have to have the proper drivers installed in order for Windows 10 to detect Roland pianos via Bluetooth.
Anyone managed get this working on android? It does not work at all on my A10 samsung android app. I can see piano in bluetooth devices but not in the pp2 app no matter what I do. I have installed latest formware, turn locations on everywhere, pair and unpair device in bluetooth settings but it does not show in app. Either my piano bluetooth does not work properly or there is issue with android app.
Got it working problem was in one location setting that have overlooked. It does not work without location set on both on app and device.
I have Rp 102 & A50 Android Phone, what make Pad should I get instead of using phone, so I get Bluetooth & Audio compatible ?
Hey Jo Harris - any current iPad will do the trick, you don't need any crazy processing power or RAM, so I'd just get the lowest cost iPad you can find that's from the last 1-2 years to make sure that it has the latest Bluetooth Protocols / radio built in. Thanks! -stu
@@MerriamPianos Thank you for that very helpful
Get a midi device connection error E001. Can see that the piano is connected to the phone, and also to piano partner, but still get the error. No matter what I do.
You might need to update the Firmware. I had to do this for my FP30 to get Piano Partner 2 support.
but what about the fp e50 😅 its a mystery...
The Roland FP-E50 was not designed to be compatible with the Roland Piano App unfortunately.
[ Firmware Ver.1.20 ] JAN 2024
Additional Function
The Roland Piano App is now supported.
Bug Fixes
Minor bugs have been fixed
Hi, I have an FP 10 and I am connected to Bluetooth, but when I play in Garageband app, I get both the sound of what I want from Piano Partner 2 and what is programed on my Garageband app. I watched this video, but because I don't have the fp10 keyboard display, I don't know of a way to tell Garageband not to play its already programed sound and just play the Piano Partner chosen sound. So npw, I am getting both sounds. Can you help me with this?.
Is there a headphone jack?
Nearly all digital pianos have headphone jacks onboard. :)
Bless Ethan Becky
Thank you for tuning in!
The android app is absolute garbage. They must have prioritized iOS unfortunately.
I can't even control the metronome on my FP30! All I can do is turn it on or off with NO fine control whatsoever. What use is that when I don't even know what BPM it is?
How can I send my recordings to my PC or to my email??
I can connect with fp-10
Yup! The FP10 does have Bluetooth MIDI connectivity, which allows for App connectivity. :)
i dont really understand, and also i have an RP-30
The RP30 does not have Bluetooth MIDI or Bluetooth Audio if I recall correctly.
How to use bluetooth headphones with your piano ?
Hi! Brent from Merriam Music here! Unfortunately, wireless Bluetooth headphones are not a viable headphone option to use with digital pianos due to the fact that there is latency (delay) between pressing the key and hearing the sound. Thanks and all the best! :)
1. My search was for how to connect my E-X50, with Bluetooth, to a Bluetooth headphone set. You allude to that at the beginning, but then never go into it. There are a thousand videos on how to connect Roland products to my phone. I need to connect to my Sony Bluetooth Headphones. 2. Did you really do a video where you "say" push this button or that button but actually didn't take the time to add shots where you show which buttons?!? Come on. I don't have you keyboard but I might have been able to cross-tech them if shown the buttons.
Hi there - unfortunately, Bluetooth headphones are not compatible with any digital piano/keyboard due to the fact that there would be a delay between when the note is struck and the sound is produced. For this reason, they are not a viable option and digital pianos/keyboards are not designed to support them.
