I have a Roland digital piano and I heard that you could use garage band to Bluetooth midi to a digital piano to record what you are playing. I can get my piano to connect to GarageBand no problem via the advanced settings for Bluetooth midi devices.
The problem is now what?
I can’t find where I could click record and record my piano.
The reason why I want to do this is because I would like to record myself sometimes but my kids are so loud it’s really hard to get a good recording without any background noise when I use my video app on my iPhone. I just like to have a way that is more simpler and more clean audio.
Can anybody help?

Do notes play on the phone?
Does pressing keys on the piano cause notes to be played on the iOS device? If that doesn't work, recording likely won't either.
Garage band will force the device into landscape. The majority of the screen is often taken up by the keyboard, so control buttons will be located along the top and bottom edges of the screen.
I have not tried recording yet, only using the piano to activate the instruments with the midi properly connected.
Recording in garage band
You simply can activate record on your device and start to play.
Did you get this working and
What other iOS apps have you used with your Roland piano which our accessible? I have a Roland FP 30 X piano. I'm using the Roland piano partner app which is usable but it's not easy and a bit it's a mess. Screen recognition is needed for some tasks

Should work in theory… With a virtual instrument selected and the keyboard connected via Bluetooth, notes should play on the phone when you press a key, there is latency though as expected from a Bluetooth connection so try and get it hardwired.
To answer the other question.
I.e. what else will work with it, anything that takes midi input. If you've got any Bluetooth midi device connected, it's just like any other midi device. So any instruments, e.g. Pianoteq, that take midi input will play. You're just lookingatwhat's accessible, at that point, or what you're willingto playwith thedefault if it's not.
Simple
With the virtual piano keyboard showing and no other menus in the way, hit the red Record button, which AFAIR is at the top-middle of the screen. You'll start with a 4-beat count-in, after which everything you play (up to 8 bars) will be recorded
