Roland FP-10 and Android tablet - Bluetooth MIDI not working

Trouble with Synthesia, your keyboard, or adapter? Think you found a bug?
When describing problems, always mention your OS and game version (shown at the bottom of the title screen).

If your keyboard has USB or MIDI ports, there is a tremendously high chance (>99%) it will work with Synthesia. See what you'll need on the keyboards page.

My current setup is not working, can you help to confirm whether this is a known issue/bug?

- Keyboard: Roland FP-10 (88 keys, Bluetooth)
- Tablet: Lenovo P12 (12.7") with Android 13
- Software helper MIDI+BTLE
- Synthesia 10.9.5916 for Android

ISSUE: The keyboard connects to the tablet via Bluetooth, and it appears correctly in the "Music Input" list at Synthesia. However, it doesn't work beyond this.

For comparison, when I do the same using an iPad (9th generation), at the "Need help connecting your keyboard?" option I can see the FP-10 enabled and it plays just fine in Synthesia.

Instead of connecting/pairing with the keyboard in the usual way, does it work if you use one of the "BLE-MIDI Connector" apps out there (like this free one)?

Once you establish a connection in that app and switching back to Synthesia, it should show up in the Music Input and Music Output lists on the Settings screen. (This assumes you have "Android M MIDI" selected for your Music Device Connection Method. The built-in USB driver doesn't work with BLE devices.)
