Connect your piano over Bluetooth on Android
If your piano has Bluetooth MIDI, you can play without a cable. Turn it on in the piano, then start the search in PianoGo.
Is your piano compatible?
It must offer Bluetooth MIDI, which you turn on in the piano's settings. Recent digital pianos have it. Check your model's manual.
How do I connect it?
- In the piano's settings, turn on Bluetooth MIDI.
- Open the PianoGo app, then open a song in practice mode.
- Open the "Connect your piano" window with the connection chip, then choose the "Bluetooth MIDI" tab.
- Start the search. Your piano appears in the list: tap it.
- Play a note to test, then tap "Start playing".
Which permissions does Android ask for?
To look for your piano, Android asks for permission to access Bluetooth. On some Android versions, the search also needs the device's location to be turned on. The app tells you so and offers "Open Settings". Turn it on, then start the search again.
If you denied the permission, tap "Open Settings", allow PianoGo, then come back. In the meantime, USB and the microphone remain available.
What about Chrome, in a browser?
On Android, Chrome, Edge and Opera can also look for a Bluetooth MIDI piano, but practice on phones and tablets happens in the app. The browser then shows its own window for choosing the device.
Piano not found?
- Check that Bluetooth MIDI is turned on in the piano, and that the piano isn't already connected to another device.
- Start the search again.
- Otherwise, connect the piano over USB (USB on Android) or use the microphone (Playing with the microphone).
Bluetooth MIDI adds about 15 ms of latency, which you won't notice in practice.
