Thanks. So walk me through this. To play with Pianoteq, I turn off local control to send keyboard data from my Roland keyboard to my Mac, where Pianoteq resides. How can I channel a backing track to the headphones where I'm hearing myself play?

The basic idea is indeed: MIDI from the FP9 to PT in the Mac and then any (PT included) audio from the Mac to any available audio output - Bluetooth "probably" included, but I can't check here.

Hey, thanks. It works (of course). The solution should have been obvious, but I'm a little challenged in this realm. Btw, no need for bluetooth. Just cycle the backing track (iRealPro) from Mac to headphone amplifier (via cable) along with Pianoteq. Fantastic!

I would like to play a backing track via bluetooth while using Pianoteq but can't seem to pair up my phone or laptop (playing the backing track) with the digital when Pianoteq is in the picture. I suspect the problem is that, when using Pianoteq on my Roland fp-9, I have to turn off "local control" on my piano, so I'm just sending midi data to my Mac. When attempting to pair via bluetooth, my phone's bluetooth function will tell me that I've successfully paired with the Roland but no sounds come out of my headphones except for Pianoteq itself. Does anyone know how to overcome this barrier ? The piano has a port for me to directly hook my phone to the piano, but I suspect I'll run into the same issue with local control turned off. Before I run out and get a cable for a direct hookup, I'd like to know if what I'm attempting is possible. My basic setup is Roland (midi) to Mac; Mac to headphone amplifier; amplifier to headphones or external monitors.
