WIDI Master Bluetooth 5.0 MIDI from CME Pro

April 05, 2021

CME Pro launched a new device that turns your MIDI into a Bluetooth MIDI for your computer. They have come out with three different devices that will connect your keyboard, drums, horn, guitar, lights, or other items together without a cable.

What is WIDI Master

Bluetooth MIDI is a new wireless standard the MIDI Association approved. CME-Pro developed a small MIDI connector that will attach to your instrument. WIDI Master is point-to-point Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity with ultra low latency, automatic pairing, and complete with MIDI Clock and SysEx for syncing together.

One WIDI Master can connect to Windows, Mac, Android (8 or later), and iOS (8 or later) devices. The device is compatible with Bluetooth 4.0 or better.

WIDI Jack

This device adds TRS MIDI, DIN 6 mini and DIN 5 MIDI to your wireless. You can even connect unpowered MIDI ports with the USB-C connector.

The jack is a small box that can be affixed to your instrument, and the cables to your MIDI device. WIDI Jack can communicate with WIDI Master, so a rack unit can talk with a pedalboard.

WIDI Uhost

This is a 3-in-1 USB MIDI Bluetooth solution. It adds BLE to a USB MIDI device, with all the same features as the WIDI Master. WIDI Uhost also can connect up to 4 WIDI Master devices.

Prices

WIDI Master and WIDI Jack are both available now for $59. WIDI Uhost is still in production, with a 50% discount to get this unit up to 3,000 boxes. Get WIDI Master Here
