CME / WIDIMASTER

Bluetooth MIDI (BLE-MIDI) compliant wireless MIDI adapter

WIDI Master is a convenient tool that can be called a ""virtual MIDI cable"" because it complies with Bluetooth MIDI (BLE-MIDI), a new wireless standard approved by the MMA (MIDI Manufacturers Association). This standard makes it possible to connect many compatible MIDI devices via Bluetooth without a computer or cables. This WIDI Master works by connecting to the MIDI port of the hardware, and power is also supplied from the MIDI port, so there is no need to prepare batteries or charge them.

◎ Completely standalone and wireless. What you can do with the 100% MIDI-supported WIDI Master.

- MIDI port to MIDI port

By using two WIDI Masters, you can pair two standalone MIDI hardware devices. For example, wirelessly connect the MIDI OUT port of a MIDI controller to the MIDI IN port of a MIDI sound module.

Bluetooth (BLE) to MIDI port

You can pair a Bluetooth MIDI controller with standalone MIDI hardware using one WIDI Master. For example, wireless connection between a wireless MIDI keyboard and the MIDI IN port of a MIDI sound module.

macOS/iOS BLE to MIDI port
You can pair one WIDI Master with an iOS device or Mac and play standalone MIDI hardware from your DAW. At this time, the WIDI Master automatically switches to slave mode using a smart algorithm.

・Point-to-point BLE-MIDI connection
You can simply use the WIDI Master as a replacement for a MIDI cable. By connecting the WIDI Master to both the MIDI master and MIDI slave devices, you can experience the freedom that only wireless can provide.

・Bluetooth 5 adopted
By adopting a standard that is faster and has a longer communication distance, reliability has been improved during live performances and on stage. Achieves reliable MIDI connection at twice the speed and four times the range of previous models.

・Ultra-low latency
Achieves an innovative low latency of 3ms. Transmission is optimized using a smart algorithm.

・Automatic pairing
Easy operation for instant setup. Automatically switches between master and slave and pairs automatically.

-Supports MIDI clock and SysEx (system exclusive data)

Also supports synchronization of drum machines, step sequencers, and arpeggiators. Sends all MIDI messages via Bluetooth.

-Detachable design of MIDI IN (sub-adapter)

MIDI OUT (main adapter) side can be used alone. This is a great design when you do not need MIDI IN or when connecting to a device that does not have a MIDI IN terminal.

-Connection with various devices

The bridge cable terminal for connecting the sub-adapter is equipped at 45 degrees on the side of the main adapter, so it can also be used with rare devices that have a vertical DIN connector.

-No external power supply required

WIDI Master receives 5V or 3.3V power supply via MIDI OUT DIN. A truly standalone wireless solution has been realized.

-Lifetime updates

The latest updates are always provided by the “WIDI App” (Android / iOS app).

・Wireless upgrade via Bluetooth
Firmware upgrades can be easily performed via the “WIDI App” (Android/iOS app).
