Introduction:
The Piano Partner 2 app provides a friendly, interactive way to help you learn and enjoy music with your Roland digital piano. Songs and DigiScore Lite show the piano’s internal music collection on your device’s display, while Rhythm and Flash Card allow you to build skills with intelligent accompaniment and engaging music exercises. Piano Partner 2 also enables your iPad/iPhone to work as a remote controller for your Roland piano, offering an intuitive graphic interface for even easier operation.

Recorder and Diary functions help you progress more quickly, allowing you to evaluate performances and keep track of your daily practice activities. The Diary logs stats about playing time, which keys you played, and more, and it’s even possible to share them with your family, friends, and teachers directly from the app. To use Piano Partner 2, connect your device and a compatible Roland piano wirelessly via Bluetooth®, or wired with a USB cable. 

-Songs—browse and select music from your Roland digital piano’s onboard song library

### 3/5 — Could be great!

*2026-07-22, version 2.0.16*

Love the additional worlds this opens up for Roland digital instruments. Just needs some major TLC. Please update this Roland!

### 1/5 — Discontinued

*2026-07-17, version 2.0.16*

It doesn’t work anymore

### 4/5 — Dommage ?

*2026-05-06*

J’ai bcp utilisé cette appli qui ne fonctionne plus à mon plus grand désespoir depuis une des dernières mises à jour ! Qqn pourrait m’aider svp?

### 5/5 — Compatibility

*2026-02-21, version 2.0.16*

This app is compatible with IOS 26.4.  I have Beta.  The Piano App at this date, is not compatible.  I hope it will be soon.

### 2/5 — Cool features but terrible UI

*2026-01-03, version 2.0.16*

This opened up quite a few features I didn’t know my FP-10 would have. However the UI is just awful. It looks like it was made back in 2009 and never updated.

### 1/5 — 正しく反映しない。

*2025-09-19*

ダイアリーの活動履歴の時間、鍵盤が記録されるのが面白いのだが全く正しく反映しない。
30分以上弾いていてもいつも記録は3~4分。
せっかく面白いのでちゃんと反映するようにしてほしい。

### 1/5 — 録音出来ない

*2025-04-30*

スマホとは接続出来ませんでした。タブレットに接続して使っていますが、録音が出来たり出来なかったりします。9割くらい録音できない感じで使い物になりません。

### 1/5 — ゴミ以下

*2025-02-01*

アプリを開いたら数秒経った後に落ちる。本当にうざいしアプリのアカウント引き継ぎをしてもunknownとか言われてできないし、なんなの本当に。嫌い。ストレスの塊みたいなアプリ作りやがってもうちょっとどうにかならんのか？

### 3/5 — Some great features, but needs work

*2025-01-16, version 2.0.16*

The Piano Partner 2 app has some innovative controls and some developed features, but there are two issues with it: 

1. It doesn't allow you to save recordings to an external device, (or at least explain why it can't). Recording playback slows down and acts very strange when the app is minimized.

2. Bluetooth problems. For about a year,  I couldn't connect with Bluetooth, but it was fixed once I realized the bluetooth settings on my FP-10 were turned off accidentally (it uses white keys and function button for the bluetooth settings and is not very obvious when it gets changed, which probably causes a lot of confusion for people). Also possibly fixed in updates, but it's hard to tell.

### 1/5 — Enregistrement catastrophique

*2024-12-23*

L’application sature dès que l’enregistrement du piano dure plus de 2min… c’est n’importe quoi, le song en lui même change lorsque qu’on le réécoute
