I can find instructions how to connect the piano to my iOS device (either Bluetooth MIDI or Bluetooth Audio) I can use the Roland apps I can even make GarageBand connect to the piano - but I have absolutely no idea how to use GarageBand as a sequencer for the piano. This piece has a very pronounced samba rhythm and it’s hard to practice alongside a recording of the Primo part if it wanders around tempo-wise - so what I would like to do is to create a midi version of the Primo part in GarageBand, edit that offline so that it fits the rhythm, and then have that play that over the Roland (and me filling in the second part). The Roland has a recording function but I found that not very useful for this purpose: you just record your performance and play it back. The thing is that want to practice Milhaud’s “Scaramouche”, a four-hand piece. And indeed, that works like a charm, though I’ve only managed that with Roland’s own iOS apps (eg “piano every day”). I also like to create music in GarageBand and Logic, and found that the Roland has cool features like MIDI over Bluetooth.įrom everything I read about it, it should be dead easy to connect the piano to, say, an iOS device. And also, after I had started taking lessons again because I felt I had picked up some bad playing habits, I found that the lack of key action was starting to bother me - long story short: I read a lot, tries different brands of pianos and settled on a Roland LX706.Īnd I love it to pieces: it’s a delight to play, and to listen to. It sounded OK, but after a year or two some keys started to have sustain- and velocity issues. I’ve lived in different places, including Canada for some years, and when I had settled back in Europe I bought a secondhand 25 year old Yamaha Clavinova CLP-860. Along the way I also picked up playing the guitar, but found that I keep returning to the piano. I’m a Dutch woman and have been playing the piano since I was 6 years old. I couldn’t find a dedicated introduction forum, but just to give an idea where I’m coming from: I just registered for this forum, but I’ve been reading quite a bit here last year which helped me choose a digital piano (thanks for that :)).
