Hallo Ron, thank you very much for this your review about Roland app Every Day. I think it's a great source to utilise better this app. Very clear, simple language and very pro!!!!👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@MSoares27]

I haven't confirmed, but my guess is the orange icon you said you weren't sure about...that looks like sheet music, might have something to do with enabling a swipe/page turn feature on the app. It looks like it's an icon telling you about turning a sheet page.

[@Gragon]

My library is empty. No scales no hanon. How can I get those?

[@antonioperillo1182]

Even if the app is with clear graphics now with your explanations I've understood better many other functions. Expecially for the library! But I'm not sure to have Hanon scales and exercises....

[@SimplicityForGood]

I got some questions I hope to get answers or from somone who is honest about the digital piano 30x and 60x and this app, please have a look and to you or anyone else here on this great channel, if you can help me out it would be worth a lot as I do not feel confident the 60X for 1300 euro witht he table stand is the right choice for me... thanks ### 1. **Sound Comparison: FP-60X vs. FP-30X** - **Are the sounds on the FP-60X and the FP-30X the same as in the app?** - I’m curious if the sounds available directly on the FP-60X and FP-30X are the same as those accessible through the Roland app. Are the sounds on the piano’s physical interface and those in the app identical, or are they different? ### 2. **Fender Rhodes Sounds** - **FP-60X Rhodes Sounds:** - I’m particularly interested in the Rhodes sounds, specifically those from the 1970s. On the FP-60X display, I noticed the "Suitcase 1976" Rhodes sound, but I’m wondering if there are more Rhodes sounds available-either on the FP-60X itself or through the app. Can I find any additional, more authentic Fender Rhodes sounds from the 1970s? - **FP-30X Comparison:** - Is the FP-30X limited in terms of sound variety compared to the FP-60X? Is the main difference just that on the FP-30X, I’d need to use the app to access the same sounds that are available directly on the FP-60X’s physical interface? ### 3. **Customizing Sounds** - **Customization of Rhodes Sounds:** - I love vintage 1970s sounds and enjoy tweaking and customizing them. I found the "Suitcase 1976" on the FP-60X, but I’d like to know if I can further customize it or if there are additional similar sounds that can be modified to my preference. Is the app the key to unlocking more customization options, or am I limited to what’s on the digital piano itself? ### 4. **Sound Variety and Professional Quality** - **Sound Limitations on FP-60X:** - My concern is that the FP-60X seemed limited in terms of professional sounds, especially when I noticed a lot of novelty sounds like drums, rain, laughter, and applause, which I find unnecessary for a digital piano in this price range. I’m looking for more serious, professional sounds, particularly from the 1970s. - **Are there more professional sounds available through the app, or is the FP-60X limited to what’s on the physical display?** ### 5. **Price and Value** - **Is the FP-60X worth the investment?** - The store near me is offering the FP-60X with a table stand for a bit over 1300 euros. Given my concerns about the sound limitations, is this a good deal, or should I consider looking for a different digital piano that better meets my needs? ### 6. **App Functionality vs. Physical Interface** - **Is the app a totally different universe?** - If the app offers a lot more in terms of sound variety and customization, I’d like a clear explanation of how it works in conjunction with the FP-60X or FP-30X. Does it significantly expand the functionality of the physical keyboard, and is it user-friendly enough to justify relying on it for accessing more professional sounds? ### Conclusion: - **Your Advice:** - Based on these concerns, would you advise sticking with the FP-60X, or should I consider a different model or brand that might offer more of the professional 1970s sounds I’m looking for? Your expert opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help in clarifying these points!

[@icejd7]

Very thorough walk thru. Thank you 😀

[@antoniomaccagnan7200]

What I hoped for were other piano sounds (such as on Korg and Yamaha apps) 'cause the default Steinway on my F107 isn't great, and that's not in the app :( All what he describes here can be done using the inner functions on the piano. So, thanks for the video 'cause now i know I needin't bother with the Roland app.

[@Eric-Marsh]

I bought a new FP-30X and immediately downloaded the app and paid for a year's subscription. I am hugely disappointed. My biggest complaint is that it is impossible to change the tempo of music in the library. There's no decent documentation so I tried things like changing the metronome to no avail. The flashcards are lame - the advanced tests are not much more difficult than the basic ones. IMHO the app is not ready for prime time. One star.

[@MAGtheChosen]

Is there any difference between available Tones in the app? Like e.g. between f701 and f107?

[@edsonmorales1152]

It would have been cool if there was a Favorites option to find my favorites sounds directly

[@ronvalenziamusicchannel2304]

I agree. I know with the GP 6 digital piano, you do have a way to load your preferred sounds directly to the piano.

[@franquitofrankilopez]

Hola. Me puedes ayudar Como puedo formatear un usb en el piano gp3

[@MOSHE0515]

HI RON CAN I MAKE AND KEEP TONE PACHES IN THES APP-STORAGE ? AND I CAN CONNECT TO MY CELOLAR PHONE TO YOU TUBE TO PLAY TOGETER WHILE USING THE UPP SIMULTANESLY AT THE SAME TIME? AND CAN I CONNECT THE UPP TO A ROLAND FP30X E.PIANO

[@LouisJGomez-km8md]

Hi Ron, with this app can I upload a accompaniment track to play another instrument (like a sax) using the piano electronic system?

[@ludwingsanabria3842]

hello, I need to know, how is the midi ext for FO 10....thanks

[@vernon_4411]

The button shall be automatically turning the page.

[@nathyatta]

Where is the A.bass+Cymbol tone? It’s there when I first open the app, but if I choose another tone, I can’t find it again 🤷‍♂️

[@ronvalenziamusicchannel2304]

The only way i see it is when I select “split” from the piano section. You can also find it in a scene.

[@RenanteNate]

how do you export the recorded (i suppose is just a midi file) ?

[@Travler-xr]

You can’t.

[@musiclover470]

where do you close this app? i can't find a button.

[@alexmaquilingjr.3294]

Hii. I just wanna ask is it normal for notes not to sustain while recording using the app? Im pressing the sustain pedal while recording but the notes doe's not sustain Btw i have the fp30x Tnxxx

[@ronvalenziamusicchannel2304]

That does not sound normal. I have not experienced this but I would do all the defaul resets that I could to try and figure why this is happening. Sorry that this is not much help.

[@TeacherMattVlog]

Same problem here. Did u fix it?

[@MeaHeaR]

It dusunt be worké wuthé FP-30X

[@gregorykell6903]

Hi Ron, can this app work with Roland Rd 300NX

[@MeaHeaR]

[@alanreid8962]

Mine won’t connect help

[@oirogerg99]

Can we add additional accompaniment style ?

[@ronvalenziamusicchannel2304]

If you mean internal accompaniment styles, I don’t know if you can at this time but the Roland cloud has so many new features that it might be possible. It’s worth a look.

[@davidcunningham7330]

Was money the reason you chose the GP6 from the GP9? If you're a Roland representative it seems Roland would want you to have the best - the GP9 or LX9

[@ronvalenziamusicchannel2304]

Hi, I am NOT an official Roland rep. I am more of an ambassador. The price and size were the top 2 reasons for the GP 6. The GP 9 was newer and dealers had less control with making a good deal so the additional investment would’ve been huge.

[@Boleyn1895]

How important do you think the app is for a complete beginner? I'm trying to choose a piano to buy and I'm looking at the FP-60X and the FP-E50 both of which use the app and the RD88 and the RD08 both of which don't use the app. Thank you.

[@ronvalenziamusicchannel2304]

Hi. The apps main features are making it easier to navigate features but this can be done on the keyboard itself. The app ALSO has some learning tools that can make practice more fun and it can track your progress. If having those two features are important to you, then I would go with the FP-60X. Personally I would prefer to use the app as a beginner. I hope this is helpful.

[@Boleyn1895]

@@ronvalenziamusicchannel2304 Thank you. You recommend the FP-60X over the FP-E50? despite the E50 being 2 years newer, £300 cheaper, having ZEN-Core and hundreds if not thousands of more tones plus an arranger and two modulation wheels?

[@Brenda-b9r]

How do I find the app please

[@Theseakeys]

play store 😐

[@ronvalenziamusicchannel2304]

It will be in your App Store.

[@gamhazell]

When I try to Pair with my Roland Go:Keys I get "Error occurred during MIDI connection from your piano [E001] Delete your piano from the "settings" menu of your mobile device and try again."

[@cinepost]

Did you ever get it to work?

[@ronvalenziamusicchannel2304]

I don’t know about the Roland GO. I wasn’t aware these keyboards used the same app.

[@normmadson5381]

Will this app work with a Yamaha piano?

[@ronvalenziamusicchannel2304]

I really don’t think so. These are proprietary to the manufacturer.

[@DoctorAkke]

This app has major Bluetooth connection issues.

[@lilifonteno30]

what instrument do you have?

[@ronvalenziamusicchannel2304]

I have not had any issues with Bluetooth but typically BT issues are resolved by firmware updates and such.

[@DoctorAkke]

[@DoctorAkke]

@@lilifonteno30 I have the FP-30X. The way I make it to work again is by cleaning the app cache. So I need to clean the app cache everytime I need to use it.

[@shanepate332]

I have NEVER been able to get my Roland FP30X to stay connected to the app on my phone. App is a waste of time!

[@ronvalenziamusicchannel2304]

That’s interesting. I have never had an issue. Since the X series is relatively new, I wonder if there is a possible firmware update. I don’t have the FP30X. I would also delete and reload the app on your phone again just in case. I have had success doing this with other apps. Worth a try??? Best of luck.

[@shanepate332]

@@ronvalenziamusicchannel2304After deleting the app and reinstalling it, two or three times, with no success, I called the piano store where I bought my keyboard and they explained that when the Roland piano app stopped working, the keyboard would need an update in order for the app to work. I will have to go back to the store in order to get a USB stick with the update.

[@nmfl100]

Works fine with my FP30X.

[@rexrockel3852]

There is a new software update for your piano which solves the bug
