6. Configure settings: Within your chosen music app, navigate to the MIDI settings or preferences. Select the Kawai CA67 as the MIDI input device. This configuration enables the app to recognize the piano and receive MIDI signals from it.
7. Start playing: With the connections established and settings configured, you can now start playing the Kawai CA67, and the sound should be transmitted to your Android device. You can record, compose, or use various features offered by the music app to enhance your playing experience.

Remember to consult the Kawai CA67 user manual for specific instructions on connecting to Android devices, as the process might vary slightly depending on the model.
