Piano Designer for Android
okay app but not compatible with ipad air 2 - though it worked with my old mini ipad +3 years old.
I too had issues getting this app to connect to my HP603... What solved it for me was deleting the pairing from my bluetooth settings then running the app. It still wouldn't detect it immediately on load, but going into the app settings and doing a search for midi devices found it and allowed me to connect. I have now successfully downloaded the patches and it seems to work fine.
***Update: i have updated the HP603 as recommended to version 1.09 and it still doesn't work. ***My phone displays the piano as paired but the app does not list my piano. Would appreciate feedback with a solution.
Roland should be embarrassed by this app. It totally defies android hi patterns. It doesn't respond, it is really badly designed and doesn't even look like the Roland brand.
Poor and I would argue untested app. Bearing in mind the LX17 piano cost me 4k I had foolishly expected more. Perhaps the IOS version works, I'll do Rolands job and test it when I get my hands on an iPad. As I mention in the title I have noted various issues, Roland please feel free to comment, but the most annoying is when using one of the apps piano setups it does not return the piano to as it was after powering down. This is despite not having saved the settings to piano. One function it changes as a result is the Master Tuning!
Paid 3.5 Grand in sterling for the Lx-17 it CANNOT pair with my Samsung Note 4!!!!!!
I had to explicitly allow all permissions to be able to connect to hp603 by bluetooth
Am I right to assume this app doesn't work with the very latest F140R that has full Bluetooth functionality? If so, will this piano be added to the supported list?
I cannot use this app anymore with the HP508 which connects via WiFi, not Bluetooth. Please fix to provide both options. I can't buy a new piano every year.
I can pair my phone and iPad with my hp 605 but piano designer can't find them as an instrument.
application can't connect to roland hp603
So glad it's been updated for this year's models of roland digital pianos. But do check the version on your piano as if it's under 1.4 it won't work but you can update your piano version from the roland website and then this app will work fine.

Works great when I finally got it going. Required upgrading the piano (HD 603) firmware to 1.12 then performing a factory reset. Without the reset the piano still wasn't discoverable via Bluetooth. Hope this helps others.
