Also, set up the keyboard to “local” so that the sound on your keyboard is muted and you can play music using the keyboard on your Android device.īefore you start playing you should set up the keyboard layout. On your keyboard’s Music Input screen, play the highest and lowest notes so that Synthesia knows the number of keys on your keyboard. At this stage, go to the Musical Devices option on the Settings. Your keyboard will then show up in Synthesia or other apps. However, if this doesn’t happen, then you should select the ‘ cogwheel icon’ on the top right side of your device and then open MIDI/USB. You should connect the MIDI end of the cable to the keyboard. If the keyboard has a MIDI port, you will need an OTG adapter or a MIDI to USB cable. You should connect the end of USB B to the keyboard’s “ TO HOST” port.
