    Why Roland Musical Instrument can’t connect to Bluetooth MIDI?
    • L
      lauraphillipsAug 31, 2025
      For the Bluetooth MIDI function, you’ll execute pairing not via the Bluetooth settings of your smartphone, but by using the settings within the app “Aerophone Pro Editor.” Even if your smartphone’s Bluetooth device list shows “AE-20,” do not tap it. If you tapped it by mistake, cancel “AE-20,” turn the Bluetooth function off and then on again, and make the connection again.
