Currently, Bluetooth MIDI works for iPads and most Mac computers. But you can get Windows computers to utilize a Bluetooth MIDI connection, with a little extra effort.
Windows computers are also Bluetooth MIDI capable using the instructions in this article here: http://newbodyfresher.linclip.com/how-to-use-with-daw.

How to set up Bluetooth on an iPad:
On an iPad, go to your iPad’s settings and scroll all the way down on the left hand side and click on Piano Marvel. Make sure that you choose the setting to allow Piano Marvel to utilize Bluetooth on your device. Make sure your Instrument Bluetooth is turned on and connected to your iPad. Then go into Piano Marvel and log into the app. Go to Options, Instrument Settings and click on the box that says “Connect Devices Via Bluetooth” and select your Bluetooth connection from the list there. You should then be able to play a note on your piano and see the blue circle in the middle of the Instrument Settings page flash. Click on the Next button in the lower right corner, play the lowest note and highest note on your keyboard when prompted, and then click the Finish button. You will then be able to use your Bluetooth MIDI connection to receive feedback and grading in Piano Marvel.
My piano gets detected just fine, but there is a significant delay when using bluetooth, which makes it basically impossible to complete the assessments. Is there a way around this issue? I am using a NU1X with MD-BT01 adapter. Thank you!
Thank you for reaching out to us. Please only use Bluetooth MIDI, not Bluetooth audio. Frequently, the Bluetooth audio will automatically connect, but it will need to be turned off because of the inherent latency that Bluetooth audio has. If you have any questions, please let me know at contactus@pianomarvel.com.
Thank you, you were perfectly right. The delay did not come from the bluetooth MIDI but instead from the bluetooth audio playing through the piano. Removing the later fixed the issue.
If the piano is equipped with a USB-B input and a MIDI-Bluetooth connection, is the cable connection of any interest?
Thank you for reaching out to us. It depends on what type of device that you want to use. Some devices are not capable of Bluetooth connection, so you would use the cable connection for those, or the Bluetooth connection for devices that are Bluetooth. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us at contactus@pianomarvel.com.
