Introduction:
The Piano Designer app helps you to personalize the sound of your Roland piano. Inside the instrument are many parameters that allow you to finely adjust the sound elements of the piano, much in the same way that an experienced piano technician fine-tunes an acoustic piano for a particular artist or musical style. These parameters include pitch, volume, tonal characteristics, the extent to which the virtual “lid” is open, states of resonance from the strings and cabinet, and so on.

With the Piano Designer app, you can easily control these many elements from the graphical touchscreen on your mobile device. In addition, the app includes many ready-to-play settings, allowing you to enjoy custom sounds created by world-class piano technicians.

- Parameters related to lid position, strings, and hammers are listed at a glance, and can be edited and transferred to the piano easily.
- Enjoy playing your Roland piano with sounds fine-tuned by famous piano technicians.
- Graphically adjust the pitch, level, and tonal character independently for each of the piano’s 88 notes.

Ratings and reviews

For anyone wondering, yes this app works with FP-10, you can edit anything and save the settings in the piano or in the app. You can also connect through Bluetooth.

App has plenty of features, but connecting over Bluetooth is unintuitive: 1. Enable Bluetooth (or the app will crash) and Location (or it won't find the piano). 2. In the app, ignore the automatic initial scan as it never works, go to the settings screen in the top right, tap "Bluetooth MIDI Devices", and it should ask for nearby devices permissions and find the piano. Tap to pair & connect, then go back and select the piano from the "Device" dropdown menu above "Bluetooth MIDI Devices".

"Roland's app" - an expression meaning the app which doesn't work. I am clearly connected because I can see keys are higglited in"Single note tuning" but any changes go back to the FP30X. "My Library" doesn't work as well. I have upgraded from FP30 to FP30X expecting Bluetooth to be finally working correctly. Big disappoinment with Roland.
