Making Settings (Pairing)

As an example, we explain how to make settings for an iPad. If you're
using an Android device, refer to the owner's manual of the mobile
device you're using.
* In order to use an app with the piano, you'll have to make pairing
settings each time.
1.
If the GP609 is already paired in the Bluetooth settings of
the mobile device, temporarily cancel pairing.
If the device name "GP609" is not shown, the piano is not paired.
Proceed to the step 3.
2.
Temporarily turn off the Bluetooth function of your mobile
device.
3.
Near the piano, place the mobile device on which you've
installed the app that you want to use.
4.
Press the [Ambience] button and [Brilliance] button
simultaneously.
5.
Use the [K] [J] buttons to select "Bluetooth Turn/MIDI,"
and then press the [s] (Enter) button.

Explanation
You can view musical scores of the internal
songs, automatically add an accompaniment
by detecting chords when you play the
keyboard, or play note-guessing games to train
your ear.
You can use the "Piano Designer" function
(p. 15) in a more visual and intuitive way
to adjust various aspects of the piano's
sound, such as the piano's strings and pedal
resonance.
6.
Use the [–] [+] buttons to select "MIDI."
7.
Turn on the Bluetooth function of the mobile device.
NOTE
At this point, only turn on the Bluetooth function; don't
tap the device name "GP609" even if it is displayed. If you
tapped this to execute pairing, repeat the procedure from
step 1.
8.
In the settings of the app (e.g., "Piano Partner 2") that's
installed on the mobile device, pair the device with the
piano.
When pairing is completed, the indication "MIDI" appears beside the
Bluetooth logo in the piano's screen. Settings are now complete.
If you have more than one piano
For example, if you want to pair your mobile device with multiple
pianos located in a music school, you can specify an ID for each piano
to pair your mobile device with the desired pianos.
To pair your device with multiple pianos
Specify the Bluetooth ID on each piano.
When you make this setting, an ID number is added to the end of the
device name shown on the mobile device (e.g., GP609_1).
1.
Press the [Ambience] button and [Brilliance] button
simultaneously.
2.
Use the [K] [J] buttons to select "Bluetooth ID," and then press
the [s] (Enter) button.
3.
Use the [–] [+] buttons to edit the value of the setting.
Value Explanation
Set to "0": "GP609" (default value)
0–99
Set to "1": "GP609_1"
* If you are pairing in an environment where there are multiple
pianos, we recommend that you turn on the power of the mobile
device and only those pianos that you want to pair (turn off the
power of other devices).
