・ Music player feature that can be used like a music app
PianoRemote includes a wide variety of songs and classical pieces that are built-in to Kawai digital pianos.[*2]
This music can be controlled in the same way as regular music app. However, it’s also possible to change the sound used for playback, allowing songs and classical to be enjoyed with a different tonal character and atmosphere.
・ Interact with music using “Lesson” and “Concert Magic” modes

Why no rhythms for ES 120 users!!!
With all the app can do with my new ES 120, it’s so frustrating that the simple rhythms selection option isn’t available, unlike the competitors I checked which greatly excel in the rhythm section accompaniment aspects relatively speaking for a lower price range. Instead, we have to use an archaic chart and buttons + key combination. This has got to be a minimal software adjustment that I hope gets fixed with an update. I unfortunately had to settle for the much more expensive es120 because it had the lightest touch for my older gigging hands.

Not Quite the Same as the CA901 Screen
Generally works fine but problematic that it doesn’t appear to use my user settings (speaker/headphone) saved within the piano. Have them customized for my room and dont want to manually change when using the app.
