GO:PIANO with Alexa Built-in
Quick Start
GO:PIANO with Alexa Built-in (which we’ll subsequently call “the GO:PIANO”) lets Amazon Alexa control the
piano in response to your voice.
You can play back music, review a past practice, or even check the weather forecast...
Let’s download the GO:PIANO Alexa Setup app from the Apple App Store® or from Google Play™, and set up
Amazon Alexa.
“Alexa,
Ask GO:PIANO, Play For Elise.”
Before using this unit, carefully read “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES”(the leaet “USING
THE UNIT SAFELY” and the Owner’s Manual). After reading, keep the document(s) where it will be available for
immediate reference.
