Apps Roland V-160HD Remote iPad App

V-160HD Remote is a dedicated iPad app used exclusively for the Roland V-160HD. You can connect the V-160HD to your iPad via Bluetooth, USB or wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and use the V-160HD Remote app to remotely control the V-160HD.

Connectivity

The V-160HD Remote app and the V-160HD disconnect when you switch to a different app or when the iPad enters sleep mode (auto-lock). The app and the unit automatically reconnect when you return to the V-160HD Remote app, but it may take several seconds for the connection to be restored. When you want to use V-160HD Remote for a long time, we recommend that you turn off the auto- lock feature on the iPad. Change this setting in Settings Ó Display & Brightness Ó Auto-Lock. This app is compatible with V-160HD system program version 1.04 and later. Make sure that the system program of the V-160HD is updated to the latest version.
