Hi guys, before buying a piano and the synthesia app I would like to know if it is possible to connect an
iPad 11" with Synthesia app and
Roland FP-10 piano together and how ? Thanks in advance

They should work together just fine.
Did you mean the 11" iPad Pro? If it's the model with USB-C, you can get away with connecting the two using a
single, plain USB B-to-C cable.
Even better, the Bluetooth feature should let you connect them with
NO additional hardware (although, the latency--or delay between pressing keys and the iPad finding out about them--over Bluetooth is usually a little higher than when using a cable).

One small caveat: if you've already updated your iPad to iPadOS 13 or later, that OS update broke the "Bluetooth Settings" button in Synthesia, which now crashes immediately if you tap it. (If you've still got an older version of iOS, it should be fine.)
We'll hopefully be releasing a small bug-fix update in a couple days to fix it on iPadOS 13, too!

I have an ipad pro 12.9 and ios 13, when i press bluetooth midi, my piano is not detected (kawai), i launch a kawai app (virtual technician) my piano is detected and connected, than i go back to synthesia, my kawai is now connected in BT and i can practice with bluetooth.

That is a nice workaround, thanks for the report! (I'd forgotten that once a BLE-MIDI device is connected via any app, it shows up in the list of MIDI devices in every app.)
