Quick Start
The Piano Partner 2 app provides a friendly, interactive way to help you learn and enjoy music with your Roland digital piano.
The Songs tool enables you to access your piano’s onboard song library from the tablet.
DigiScore Lite displays music notation for the onboard songs.
The Rhythm function provides accompaniment that follows the chords you play.
Flash Card is an interactive music game for developing listening and reading skills.
The Piano Partner 2 app works with iPad and Android tablets.
The tablet and piano can be connected wirelessly via Bluetooth.
Here, we’re connecting an iPad to the Roland HP605.
In the piano’s function menu, go to the “Bluetooth Page Turn/MIDI” setting and select “MIDI.”
Tap the Settings icon on the iPad and turn on the Bluetooth function.
Open Piano Partner 2 on the iPad.
In the Settings menu, select “Bluetooth MIDI Device.”
Select "HP605," and then tap "Pair."
When “Connected to HP605” is displayed,
the connection is completed.
Songs / Digiscore Lite
The Songs function enables you to access a connected piano’s built-in song library by category on the tablet’s display.
When you tap the DigiScore Lite button,
the selected song is displayed as digital sheet music.
You can practice each hand individually by muting the left-hand or right-hand part.
It’s also possible to use the metronome and freely adjust the tempo as needed.
Rhythms
Piano Partner 2’s Rhythm function provides accompaniment that automatically follows the chords you play.
This lets you enjoy playing along with various music styles, including pop, jazz, blues, and others.
Playing with this full-band sound provides a fun way to develop your sense of timing and groove.
You can adjust the pedal and leading bass functions in the Rhythm settings area.
It’s also possible to select different sounds to play with the rhythms. In Keyboard Settings, you can set the keyboard mode to Split or Dual.
* When Split is selected, the Rhythm function’s chord recognition mode generates full chords with very simple playing in the left half of the keyboard.
In this mode, the left half keyboard is only used for assigning chords to the rhythm, without sounding any notes.
If you like, you can select different tones from the tablet's display. In this example, we’ve selected an organ tone.
Tips
When Sync Start is set to “Start,” the rhythm will start playing when you press a key.
Flash Cards
Flash Card is an interactive music game.
You’re challenged to play a note that’s shown on the tablet or sounded from the piano.
In each session, the player is awarded after five challenges.
It’s also possible to play with Flash Card without connecting Roland digital piano.
Piano Partner 2 is available for free from the App Store or Google Play.
