The FREE Roland Piano App - 2024 | Tutorial

[@DrMukundGupta]

Hi I am a blind user and using accessibility voice over feature of iOS device. I have recently purchased LX 706 digital Piano. I could able to connect application with my Piano but in the application some of the features of accessibility does not work like it doesn’t describe me some of the images and buttons name. Can this be improved in the next version so that person like me could also use application with its full features. I have explained this to the technical person here in Mumbai India at Roland Centre and he told me that he would discuss with the Roland technical team. I hope I would get soon The updated version where I could use this fantastic feature of the application.

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hello and thank you for your comment. We will mention this to Roland too. Hopefully, they will fix this in a future update!

[@Raccaboo]

My main complaint would be not being able to export your own recordings in any way….

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hi, AJ! We totally agree. We have mentioned this to Roland and requested that they work on a method to export music from the app. Thanks for your feedback!

[@Raccaboo]

@@RivertonPianoCompanythat’s great to know, thanks!

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Thank you for such great feedback! This really helps us show Roland what folks want!

[@MrPesht]

@@RivertonPianoCompany I have to second this feedback, would be really nice to allow it to convert the recordings to audio files to export

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Thank you!

[@FlammableGold522]

I have also issues with accompanient delay with fp-30x Also sugession for developement: adding tones to favourites. It is very hard to change tones during playing and scrolling the list.

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Thank you, Peekoo! We'll pass that on!

How to use AUTO FILL IN under accompaniment --> advanced setting?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hi, Sylvia! AUTO FILL IN just creates a drum fill when you switch between Variation 1 and 2. Turn it on and - when you switch between variations - it will insert a little drum fill before making the change. Thanks for a great question!

[@daytrade65778]

I really like the ability to toggle accompaniment on/off for learning, and turn off one hand or the other. How big is the library of these songs? Is it free, or does it require the subscription? Or do you pay per song?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hello and thanks for your question! The number of free songs included depends on which Roland piano you purchased. If you have an HP, LX or GP series, you'll have more than 300 songs in there. These songs don't require a subscription. If, however, you want to add more songs, you can purchase a subscription to The Roland Cloud. This adds hundreds more songs! ...and I think it's $30 per year or something really inexpensive.

[@mrchaoslordlol]

Recently bought a fp 10 really love it with the app. I might have missed it in the video but is there any way to add own songs into the app?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hello and thanks for watching! Glad to hear you're enjoying your Roland FP-10! As far as bringing your own music into the app, the only way to do that is to record a song into the internal memory and access it through the app. It's not ideal, but that's the best you can do with this app. Of course, you could use a different app (like Garage Band, etc.) to record songs from your FP-10.

[@Daniel.jac11]

Is there a way to get Sustained notes without using a sustain pedal, from the settings?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

I'd have to think about that for a minute. Why would you ever want to do this?

[@alasacademy1869]

is there a way to pre save tone settings for live performance? or does one have to change settings and go through the whole step process during a live show?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

If your piano has Registrations, yes. You can save tone settings, etc... and recall them in a live performance setting with the touch of a button (or pedal).

[@chicagobob]

Thanks for the video -- at 12:48 in the video you mention ZenBeats and Roland Cloud. I am gettin the GP-9 this week and also use RolandCloud in my studio--- how would Zenbeats work with the GP-9-- Looks like you are showing it on the iPad and not in the PianoApp -

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, the Zenbeats app is a separate app for iOS. You would use it outside of The Roland Piano App, but your Cloud membership will work with both. Hope that helps! ...and good luck with your new GP-9! What a great piano!

[@MilchSchwert]

Cool app. Is there a way to restore the default settings?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hi, Axe! Yes. You can always restore the factory settings.

[@sharingmatters]

Are there strings and guitar available?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Yep. There are several strings and several guitar sounds.

[@WeiKhan]

Got 2 question here 1)Do we have to purchase membership to use the flashcards and one week master features? 2)I know that roland fp 10 does not have the one week master feature, but from which fp seriers we will be able to have the one week master feature

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hi and thanks for stopping by. No. You don't have to purchase a membership to use the flashcards or one week master features. If your piano has access to those features, then you can use them without the "Roland Cloud" membership. I believe every Roland from the FP-30X on up has access to both features, but I am not 100% sure on that. We don't stock the FP-10 or FP-30X so I can't verify that for you. I would check with Roland to be sure.

[@WeiKhan]

Thanks you for answering my question, can I ask you to reply after you had confirmed about the FP 30x?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

I put in a request to Roland. I will post what they send me - if they reply.

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Good news! I got confirmation from Roland that everything from the FP-30X on up has the One Week Master feature.

[@WeiKhan]

Thanks you so much ❤️ am planning to buy one

[@tfoprincess]

I connected on my android device. Thank you. Hi Android users. Do not connect via your phone's Bluetooth (if you are then disconnect or else it'll screw you over). Connect directly via the app.

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

YES! That's a great reminder. We mention that - do NOT connect through your Bluetooth settings on your tablet or smart phone. Connect through the app. It does all the work for you. Thanks for watching!

[@MOSHE0515]

I have 2 questions 1. Is it possible to connect to the Roland the piano designer app and to KZbin at the same time so that you can play KZbin music simultaneously? 2. Is it possible to save sound presets in this Roland software and retrieve from there for playing?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hello! Thanks for watching and for your questions. Here are the answers: 1. Yes. You can connect to the Roland Piano Designer App via Bluetooth MIDI and connect to KZbin via Bluetooth AUDIO and use them simultaneously on most Roland models. 2. Yes and No. You can't save registrations in The Roland Piano App, but you can save your customized piano setups in Piano Designer. I hope that helps!

[@CrackerJayherber]

How can I export my recording as an mp3 file that I can later edit in another program?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hello and thanks for watching. First of all, if you want to edit your recording in another program, you should record it as a MIDI file - not an mp3. If your Roland has a writeable USB flash drive port on it, you can record the song to the flash drive in MIDI format, transfer it to your computer and edit it in any MIDI editing software. If you want to record an audio file, you can record a .wav file to your flash drive in the same way (just make sure you go into the settings and change your record mode to AUDIO before you record). Then just follow the same plan - transfer the song to your computer and edit it in whatever software you have. Finally, you can convert a MIDI file to an AUDIO file (.wav format) onboard most Roland pianos. ...so you can go either way. That said, there is no way to export a song from The Roland Piano App so - whatever you do - you will need to do it without the app. Thanks again for watching and best of luck!

[@fontaineandre7021]

Géniale l'application mais quel dommage qu'on n'ait pas 1 version française

J'espère qu'ils pourront en faire un bientôt !

[@Raccaboo]

When I go into piano settings, the only setting I’m able to see is master volume. How do I get the other settings such as master tuning and brilliance to show up? I have a Roland FP-30.

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

The Roland Piano App conforms to each instrument's capabilities. If those features aren't showing up, they aren't available on your keyboard. The FP-30x doesn't have as many features as the piano we were showing. Sorry for the confusion!

[@arianevr3427]

In the module Learning, I have only Flashcard, and not One Week Master. Do you know why ?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hi, Ariane! Which Roland do you have? (The Roland Piano App conforms to the features available on your piano.)

[@arianevr3427]

Hi Riverton, thank you for your return. I have a FP-10. I conclude that it's normal, it’s a pity.

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Yeah. The FP-10 is the least expensive Roland Digital Piano on the market and - thus - has the fewest features. If you decide to upgrade down the road, let us know and we can help recommend a Roland piano with that feature. Best of luck to you!

[@rawrpancake]

Are there any plans for adding fp-e50 to the list of compatible pianos?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

From what we understand, no. That keyboard is not considered part of the "Home Piano" line so it uses a different app. Wish we had better news!

[@rawrpancake]

@RivertonPianoCompany I can tell you already that there is a huge interest in Japan, so it will most likely be added, however no ETA for it yet :). I've got this from Roland support

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

That's really exciting! Fingers crossed!

[@sylvialee2022]

After saving my recordings, can other users playback the recordings using the piano without my phone?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hi, Sylvia! Unfortunately, the recordings are saved on your phone so you have to have the phone to access them.

[@DIProgan]

Why on earth do you not implement an export feature for the recordings? Feels like you have to break out of jail to get your recordings out into the actual (digital) world. Recording to wav directly would be ideal as well.

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hi, Di! When we asked Roland the same question, they said something about copyright concerns. It's not a great answer, but it might explain why they do that. They have always been VERY cautious about copyright.

[@Enofeli]

I installed this app and it works fine with my iPhone 12 but not so with my iPad. The iPad wont detect my fp30x. Worst of all, now none of my apps detect it….😢

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Keep in mind that Bluetooth is a monogamous connection. If you are still connected to your iPhone, your piano won't show up on any other devices. If you are connected on your iPad, it won't show up on your iPhone. Etc. I recommend turning Bluetooth off on your iPhone and trying to connect with your other devices. As for other apps detecting the piano, just make sure you connect with the Roland Piano App first and - once you are connected to the piano with Bluetooth MIDI, the other apps should be able to see the instrument. If you have further troubles, check with the company you bought the piano from. They should have a comprehensive training program like our Roland Owner's Club. Best of luck to you!

[@PanopticMotion]

Is there a feature to show what note is getting pressed on the keyboard?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Probably not in the way you mean. The app does have a digital flashcards feature that responds to notes you play as part of a note recognition or ear training "video game." Faber Piano Adventures Player has a keyboard visualizer that shows you the notes you're playing in realtime... and several MIDI apps can notate (or write the music for) the notes you're playing. I am not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but there is an app out there that will do it. Hope that helps!

[@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 🤷‍♂️

Hello Riverton, i have a Roland piano FP 10 , I use app Roland patner 2 , Rhythm fuction can not use. Can you help me solve the problem ? Thank you

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hello! First of all, you should stop using Piano Partner 2. That app is no longer supported. Use The Roland Piano App (featured in this video). Secondly, are you using an iOS or Android device? If Android, you need to connect your tablet via USB instead of Bluetooth for the rhythm functions to work. Finally, make sure your FP-10 is updated with the latest firmware (currently version 1.04). That should get you up and running!

Hi, Youngjaelee! Unfortunately, there is no way to do what you're asking.

I have the FP-10 and I sadly just found out that the app doesn’t support accompaniment mode for it yet and it says it will in a future update. Do you know when this might be(weeks, months, years)? I’ve had other companies do that sort of thing but didn’t continue to update the item cause it’s an older model. Do you think it might be added in? First time owning a keyboard and a Roland especially so I’m a little unfamiliar with the company. If you reply thanks for the help!

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hi, BMJ. I can totally understand your concerns. While you're waiting for Roland to update the app (and I am sure they will do that in the next few months), you might try playing along with MIDI files in Piano Adventures Player or with audio files in Play Along by Sheet Music Direct. That'll give you a better experience anyway and both modes should work with your piano via a USB connection. Hope that helps!

[@TheMactarra]

Hi, I have a question. I just bought the FP-10 and installed the Roland Piano App. I was expecting many options of different sounds, as you mentioned here replying to other coments, like 130 extra sounds. But it only shows like 20 total sounds, and much of those are already built in. What is going on? Do I need to update the piano?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hi and thanks for your question. The Roland Piano App ads those extra features to the FP-30 on up. We have never tested it on the FP-10. It is possible the FP-10 doesn't have the necessary hardware to support the additional features.

Hi there! We haven't experienced this and none of our clients have reported it... but we don't typically stock the FP-30X. I would recommend first making sure the FP-30X is updated with the latest firmware. Next, I would recommend deleting the app and reinstalling it. If that doesn't work, I would contact Roland or the dealership you bought the FP-30X from and see if they can help further troubleshoot the problem. If we had an FP-30X, we'd test it for you!

Thank you, Lars! ...and yes. You can adjust the volume balance in the app. Go to the Accompaniment Module, select "Advanced Settings" and move the Balance slider to the right or left until you achieve the volume balance you're looking for.

Go into the Functions menu and follow the instructions in your manual to Copy a Song from your USB flash drive to your piano's Internal Memory. Once the song is there, you can remove the USB flash drive. The songs in your piano's internal memory will appear in the "Internal Memory" menu in the Roland Piano App's Library module.

Thank you for the informative video. I recently bought my new fp30x Roland piano and I have a question about the accompaniment module.

Is there a way to fix that?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hi, Cr, and thanks for stopping by! As for your accompaniment problem, you can switch to single finger chords in the "Advanced Settings" or just make sure that you are doing your chord changes just before the beat so the piano has time to catch up. You'll want to play your traditional chords in root position so you don't confuse the app... and - if that doesn't fix it - you can remove the background instruments and just play with drums (in advanced settings). Hope that helps!

Unfortunately, assuming your devices meet all the specs and both your piano and mobile devices are all updated to the latest firmware, this might be an Android problem. Android and iOS systems process MIDI differently. I assume you're connecting to The Roland Piano App with Bluetooth MIDI... correct? If so, you might consider connecting with a USB cable. This fixes the problem some Android systems have with Bluetooth MIDI. We haven't seen this problem with our Samsung devices or IPads, but we haven't tried with the F701 and your devices may be configured differently. It's really tough to troubleshoot. Hopefully, the USB cable will fix it for you!

Is there drumbeat?

The Roland Piano App offers a number of rhythm options. You can have just a drum beat or a full backing band.

How do you export recordings from the app (and not directly from the piano), to your phone device or pc? Export to a usb key isn’t working if the recording is already on the app.

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

In short? You can't. There is no method for exporting music recorded in The Roland Piano App.

[@larsforseth]

That’s really a pity and exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the answer here though, which saved me time googling further 😂

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Thanks, Lars! I wish we had better news!

14:00 It won't appear in the my recordings list. It never saves.

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

With so little information, it's hard for us to help, but the first thing you should check is that you are connected with Bluetooth MIDI or a USB cable. If so, make sure you are looking in the right place for your recording. There are four different places you might find it depending on what you recorded. Finally, make sure you are following the saving/naming instructions in the video. We haven't seen any problems with disappearing recordings.

[@christhelmoquiala3651]

I recorded using the app but the sustain pedal wasn’t recorded. It’s as if if I didn’t use the pedal at all. Is there an additional setting i need to set? Im using the FP-10 and connecting thru bluetooth.

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

That's a tricky one. Technically, the FP-10 is not listed as compatible with the app. It may be because of that problem. Have you tried connecting to the tablet via USB? Try that... and - if it is still doing it - it's a compatibility problem.

[@tridang2377]

My app displays Japanese in the Tones and Internal songs sections after connecting to the piano. Does anyone get this issue?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

This is not an issue we have had with the app. Try uninstalling and downloading the latest local version.

[@HuyVo-sv8ci]

This app work good for Android or IOS?

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

As with most music apps, it works best on iOS products, but it does also work on Android.

[@d_ino.]

it doesn’t let me connect my fp 10 work

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Sorry to hear you're having problems. I would recommend making sure you have the latest firmware on your FP-10 and then delete and reinstall The Roland Piano App. That should help.

[@МихаилЛомидзе-э8л]

There is the most important question. By connecting via bluetooth in the application, you can listen to your recording and download it and send it to other people, I can’t. I can listen to the same thing through a flash drive, but I can’t send it. Doesn't open for other people. Programs do not read the file. I think this is one of Roland's biggest problems. If I'm wrong, please help me find no information on this topic. I know about midi cable connections. The only question is why I can not download my record from the application ?????????

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Hey there. You've got a few things wrong and a couple of things right. Let's walk through it step-by-step. First, if you record a song in the app, there is no way for you to download or share it. Anything recorded in the app stays in the app. That's our biggest complaint as well and we have spoken to Roland about this several times. Second, if you record a song onto your USB flash drive, you can remove the drive, transfer the song to your computer and edit it or play it with any MIDI file software. We recommend Finale Print Music to edit/play the file... though the VLC Media Player can play MIDI files as well (but not edit them). Sibelius is another MIDI software title. There are several. Finally, you don't need MIDI cables anymore. If you connect your piano to a computer with a simple A to B USB cable (otherwise known as "a printer cable"), you can record MIDI or AUDIO files directly to your computer. Hope that clears things up!

[@МихаилЛомидзе-э8л]

Thanks for the answer.But it does not clarify the situation. Of course, a midi cable is a natural one of the connections. But the claim is that I would like to edit it by downloading it through the Roland App and then editing it without any problems in programs such as Abalton, Adobe Audition did not accept midi to my surprise. I couldn’t even translate the format using the conversion. But I understand that I shouldn’t suffer so much, it’s very inconvenient when Roland has such an application that can record via bluetooth but without the hope of downloading, but only listening. I will try the programs above.

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Well, it sounds like you now understand how to record onboard the piano via USB flash drive and then unplug the drive, plug it into a computer and use MIDI software to edit the file. That's the important thing. Unfortunately, you cannot edit your recordings or export them with The Roland Piano App. It's a piano control app - not a professional recording app. Thanks for watching and best of luck to you!

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

One more thing - you can convert MIDI to .wav audio onboard your Roland Piano (HP, LX, GP Series). That should work in audio editing apps like Audition and Abelton.

[@МихаилЛомидзе-э8л]

Thanks for the advice. I understand that the Roland app is not a professional audio recording software, but it can record and then let you listen to the recording. But why doesn't it give the opportunity to ask me to download a midi file so that I can then work with it in other editors. My question is just this. In other programs, I can translate everything correctly into Wav format, but the file is blocked from the flash drive, as I understand it, by the manufacturer itself, that is, Roland. Therefore, I had problems with converting in other professional programs. I just needed my file. With which I could not work due to the blocking of the file itself. I do not know the reason. I will disassemble according to your tips, although I know them all well. But maybe I missed something I do not deny. I'll post as soon as I check. Thanks for the fedback.

How do you compare this to the roland partner 2? I am a beginner on roland f140r.

Hello! Thanks for your question. We love Roland Piano Partner 2, but The Roland Piano App does all the same things and more. The user experience is pretty similar, but soon The Roland Piano App will replace Piano Partner 2 and be the definitive Roland control app. I think that will work out just fine!

I can't hear my recordings on piano app :( It catches the midi notes when I record but after saving the file and wanting to listen it's totally silent ! Same problem with accompagnement, can't hear anything... Could someone explain me why ? Roland FP90X updated Android UI updated

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

Where are you saving your recordings? The app can only record the MIDI notes you play, but it can't record backgrounds and it can't record audio. If you record onboard your piano with the USB flash drive, you can record MIDI or AUDIO and you can record backgrounds. You can also export those recordings. If you are saving MIDI files in the app, but you can't hear them when you play them back, I would recommend checking your piano's song volume settings in the Functions menu (this is a separate setting from the main volume). If that's not it, you should contact the company you purchased the piano from for more in-depth guidance. Hope that helps!

[@HoneyBear45]

Actually you were almost right, the song volume knob on the piano board was down, that's why I couldn't hear anything ! As simple as that ! Thanks dude 🖖🏻 P.S I'm very disappointed by the accompagnements :( I wish there were more style beats and more time signatures...

Have you tried connecting with Piano Every Day? Try that one and see if it will connect. If so, we know it's a problem with the app (in which case, I would uninstall the app and reinstall it). If not, then there might be a Bluetooth connection problem with your mobile device. Which mobile device are you using? Is your piano firmware up to date? (I think the current version is 1.07).

Everything nice according to the video. But, what is really happening? Roland Piano App is the first app I've ever used (and I've used hundreds) that has problemas to log in. And when the planets are aligned and I got logged in, then the second step is to connect with the piano via bluetooth. That BT connection fails almost every attempt. So only 10% of the times I want to practice with this APP it works. And this is not my isolated opinion. Almost every one using (or trying to) the app has the same issue.

[@sjli1484]

I have a FP10, which is supposed to run with the app

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

HI, SJ LI. Sorry to hear you are having troubles connecting with the app. I can tell you that I've heard this a few times with folks who own Roland FP-10s. Hopefully, Roland will soon fix this. It might help you to know that the app needs to connect to the internet when you first login... so you need a WIFI connection and a Bluetooth connection to start. I am not sure if that will help... but you might also try uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. (An early version of the Roland Piano App wouldn't connect to the FP-10 at all.). Finally, make sure you are running system version 1.04 or later on your FP-10. If you do all of this and it still doesn't work, I would definitely contact the company you bought your FP-10 from. It may have a problem. In any case, I hope you can work this out soon! Best wishes!

[@RivertonPianoCompany]

The first thing to check is that you don't have another device connected to it. You can only connect one device at a time. Go into your Bluetooth settings on any other devices you have and turn Bluetooth off. Then, go into your primary device and clear out all Bluetooth connections (ie "forget device). Turn Bluetooth off. Turn the piano off. Now try again. Remember that not all mobile devices handle Bluetooth the same way and, thus, some are not compatible. If your device isn't compatible, you can always connect via USB. Hope that helps!
