Late but for anyone landing here from a search: I have an FP-90X with the same headache and ended up writing a free open-source Windows app that bridges BLE-MIDI from the piano into the new Windows MIDI Services loopback, so Pianoteq just sees it as a regular MIDI input: https://mayerwin.github.io/Perfect-Blue...r-Windows/ . Heads up on the FP-90X: by default it receives on channel 4, not 1, even when its panel says Channel 1. The app has a Detect button for that.

Win 10 basically allows software to connect to MidiOverBluetooth - but the software has to implement it. I think Sonar supported it ....

for Win10Apps it should integrate more easily but music software is most often not using the Win10App frameworks.

if you want to use it - take a look at sonar/cakewalk ... ( not sure if they still support it after the owner changed and made it free)

hope that helps

Just realized I can plug a USB cable into the back of the FP90 and do MIDI over USB. Seems to work fine.

I have a FP-90 and have connected it via Bluetooth, both as an audio device and Midi device, ie "Audio" and "Midi" shows up on the FP-90's display next to the Bluetooth icon.

Playing audio from Pianoteq 6 (eg clicking the Pianoteq keyboard or playing the Blues demo) works fine, I hear the audio coming out of the speakers on the FP-90.

But I can't get notes played on the FP-90 to be detected by Pianoteq 6.

Does Midi over Bluetooth work with the FP90?
Does Midi over Bluetooth work the Pianoteq 6?
Is there some other Windows 10 software I need to make it work?

I understand there may be latency issues with Bluetooth, I will buy a USB Midi cable later, I just want to try out the Pianoteq 6 demo first.

Thanks!
