Update history
[ Ver.1.09 ] SEP 2017
Functionality Improvement
  • Support for Piano Partner 2 Version 2.0 was added.
Change the specification
  • The factory-default state of the "Bluetooth Page-Turning/MIDI Switching" setting was changed from "Operates (turns pages in) a music score display app on your mobile device" to "Transmits/receives MIDI messages."
    Performing an update does not change the setting you're currently using. You can continue to use it unchanged.

    Carrying out the procedure in "Restoring the Factory Settings (Factory Reset)" after updating changes the "Bluetooth Page-Turning/MIDI Switching" setting to "Transmits/receives MIDI messages."
    Subsequently, "page-turning" or connection to the Piano Partner 2 app might be impossible. If this happens, delete the pairing data on the iOS device.
[ Ver.1.08 ] JUN 2017
Additional Function
  • A function was added for muting out a desired part (right hand, left hand, or accompaniment) from the Piano Partner 2 application during song playback.

[ Ver.1.07 ] DEC 2016
Functionality Improvement
