Hi all, and happy early new year!

I've turned local control off...
I've even plugged in a USB C (for iPhone) to USB A (for keyboard) cable

But the only sounds coming out of the keyboard are the keyboard's own.

Also: if I disable Bluetooth, no MIDI data is going through the cable from the keyboard to Pianoteq (I thought that would work).

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much!

I don't have an FP-90x, but you don't mention following steps described in the manual.  What documentation are you using to determine the proper steps?

I would forget about using Bluetooth midi while trying to get the audio thing to work, it's just one more variable that can screw things up.  And get midi working through a USB cable before you try to do audio over the cable.

You should be connecting a USB cable to the square 'USB Computer' port on the FP-90x, not to a USB-A port.  As described in this article:
https://support.roland.com/hc/en-us/art...a-Computer. (Note that this article is for FP-90, not FP-90x, so includes no information specific to the USB audio interface.  But principle is the same, connect USB on keyboard to the square USB port, not to the USB-A port. Audio and midi will share the USB cable simultaneously.)

I'm curious, have you gotten the keyboard to feed midi to the computer using a USB cable, or have you been sending midi so far using only Bluetooth?  The only cable-based midi out you'll get from the FP-90x will be from the square USB port.

Hi there and Happy New Year!

Well, that's it I'm sure... I was plugging into the USB A memory port, not the USB-B midi port (smh) - I'll run out and get a USB C to USB B cable and try again later, then report back.

Thanks

Thanks so much for the help - somehow, after pouring through the FP-90X manual (I'm a geek), I missed the fact that the MIDI USB port was not the same as the memory USB port. I picked up a cable today and everything works perfectly - with the new cable, MIDI goes to my iPhone and the sound comes right back to the keyboard. Thanks again, all!

Hi all, and happy early new year!

I have a new FP-90X and the demo version of Pianoteq.

I can set up Bluetooth MIDI so that Pianoteq on my iPhone (16Pro) receives info from the keyboard, but no matter what I do, I can't get the Pianoteq sounds to come out of my keyboard's speakers.

I've turned local control off...
I've even plugged in a USB C (for iPhone) to USB A (for keyboard) cable

But the only sounds coming out of the keyboard are the keyboard's own.

Also: if I disable Bluetooth, no MIDI data is going through the cable from the keyboard to Pianoteq (I thought that would work).

It should work. There’s some talk about it here.

For some reason, it’s difficult to find clear and precise directions.

If it were me (I have neither an FP-90X nor an iPhone), I would start with the USB connection and first be sure Pianoteq on the iPhone is receiving the MIDI. Then look in Options | Devices within Pianoteq and see where the output is directed; it should be something that designates the FP-90X. Not having an iPad, I can’t tell you if there is something you have to do in the iPad to tell it to make the FP-90X available; if you can’t find it in Pianoteq, I would look for something in iPad settings.

I can set up Bluetooth MIDI so that Pianoteq on my iPhone (16Pro) receives info from the keyboard, but no matter what I do, I can't get the Pianoteq sounds to come out of my keyboard's speakers.

I might be wrong (since I don't have a recent Roland keyboard) but IIRC I don't think they can act as a wireless or USB audio interface (what you need to get the audio out from their speakers). If I am wrong, in the Pianoteq Options->Device menu you should find the Roland FP90X in the list of Audio Output and selecting that should make it work. If you don't find it, Roland doesn't have such a feature. Some Yamaha keyboards have that.

An alternative, if your Roland has line-in, would be to purchase an USB-to-line-out adapter for your iPhone and connect an audio cable instead.
