In some cases, the IN/OUT is reversed, so you may need to plug “OUT” (BM-A01) into “IN” (piano). To connect the wireless MIDI adapter, just plug the BM-A01 MIDI “OUT” connector into the MIDI “OUT” port on your digital piano.

To accomplish that, I use EBL Rechargeable D batteries and an EBL Smart Charger. I like this particular setup, because I can easily move it around and run it completely wirelessly.

Simply Piano is an Editor’s Choice app for learning to play the piano.
