I am trying to connect my tablet (Samsung galaxy tab a 10.1 2019) to my piano keyboard (Yamaha P-70) using a midi cable. The keyboard is connected to the tablet through the midi cable and a USB b to USB c adapter. I tried a simple sight-reading app that shows a sequence of notes to play at the right time and the problem is that the communication of the MIDI signal works perfectly for the first input (the first note pressed), but every input after that is not recognized at all. I also tried a virtual keyboard app and I get the same problem,but i also noticed that every note pressed after the first stay pressed forever. I find this behavior quite strange because there is communication between tablet and keyboard, but for some reason it doesn't work. I would like to know if someone had the same problem and he solved it. Thanks

First check to be made is, whether the interface works from a real PC. Tablet USB ports are typically more capable than those of digital pianos but may still not support everything.– guidotFeb 3, 2020 at 8:08

Apparently, running status does not work in your setup.
This is a known bug of the CH345 chip, which is used mainly in cheap Chinese USB/MIDI interfaces like this:
