⚫ Connect WIDI Master with Windows 10
First, the music software must integrate Microsoft's latest UWP API to use the Bluetooth
class compliant MIDI driver that comes with Windows 10. Most music software has not yet
integrated this API for various reasons. As far as we know, only Cakewalk by Bandlab currently
integrates this API, so it can directly connect to WIDI Master or other standard Bluetooth MIDI
devices.
Of course, there are some alternative solutions for MIDI transmission between the Windows
10 Bluetooth MIDI driver and music software through virtual MIDI port software applications,
such as LoopMIDI and MIDIberry. This approach adds a small amount of latency and some
limitations, but it can be used to meet basic connection requirements.
In addition, we have developed WIDI UHOST as a professional hardware solution for
Windows users, that meets the requirements of professional users for ultra-low latency and long-
distance control to the greatest extent. Please visit WIDI website for details.
⚫ Connect WIDI Master with Android device
Like the case of Windows, the Android Music App must integrate the universal Bluetooth
MIDI driver of Android’s OS to communicate with the Bluetooth MIDI device directly. Most music
apps haven't integrated this functionality for various reasons. Therefore, you need to use specific
apps dedicated to connecting Bluetooth MIDI devices as a bridge.
1. Turn on the power of the MIDI device with the WIDI Master plugged in, and confirm that
the blue LED flashes slowly.
2. Turn on the Bluetooth function of the Android device.
3. Go to the PlayStore to search and download the free application [MIDI BLE Connect].
