CME WIDI Jack + DIN-5 Cables Premium Bluetooth MIDI Adapter

This thing works very well for me. I use it with my Helix pedal and I'm able to send MIDI commands to my phone/iPad for page turning or queueing backing tracks etc. It's powered by the MIDI ports so it's literally plug and play. Compatible with my devices without a lot of extra effort, but there is an app to help with connections as needed. Great value being able to convert MIDI devices into wireless devices.

I use these to control program changes with my Kemper Rack using an Android phone and Band Helper app. I have MIDI commands associated with each song. When a song is selected in the set list, the correct patch and settings are setup automatically (and wirelessly) on my Kemper. I have them plugged into the back of an SKB roto molded 3 space case with my Kemper and the distance is great. I have been up to 50 feet away without any problem (that's as big a stage as I am likely to ever play on anyway :) ). These were easy to setup and get working. Worked great on my Android tablet. I do have to pair it every time through Band Helper (once a power up), but it has been rock solid (not drops, no misses). Well worth the money.

I was trying to connect my Roland FR-4x accordion to a Roland BK-7m backing unit and a Roland FC-300 foot controller. The FR-4x has only one MIDI port that can be configured either as MIDI-in or MIDI-out. Fortunately, the FR-4x has a USB B port that can serve as both MIDI-in and MIDI-out. The CME WIDI Uhost is appropriate for the task. The power support for the WIDI Uhost can be taken from the USB A port (for memory stick) in the FR-4x. My first attempt did not work because the USB B to USB C cable with right angle connectors ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7ZQWPK9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 ) did not work. I guess because it is not "OTG." I then ordered the right angle USB C to USB B adapter ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G1J1F68Z?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 ) and 1 ft. USB C to USB C cable ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Z6J21LY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 ). Together, they work perfectly. During the time I tried to set this up, I contacted CME Tech Support and received incredible support from Zhao (CEO of CME). He offered extra help and was with me every step of the way until I found out the problem was the cable. All of my email messages got replied within hours. I currently have 8 units of CME Master and 1 unit of CME WIDI Uhost. They are all great. Thank you, CME.

This works as expected with the correct tablet, BUT I could not get it to work with an Android tablet. I have to use an iPad. I reached out to customer service and none of the things they told me to try worked with the Android. It connects to the device but MIDI program changes do not transmit.

If you own a Donner DDP-80 and use an iPad (9th Generation) for lessons like Piano Marvel, this is the solution you need. We switched to this because the iPad 9th Gen only has one port; using this Bluetooth adapter allows us to connect the piano and charge the iPad at the same time. The Highlights: Zero Latency: I was worried about a delay between hitting a key and the iPad registering it, but the response is instant. There is no noticeable lag. Visual Feedback: A blue light on the WIDI flashes with every keystroke, confirming the signal is active. Cleaner Setup: It removes the bulky USB cable between the piano and tablet. Children broke a few of these... The Trade-offs: Price: A bit pricey for an adapter. Power: It requires its own separate power cable to stay active. Note: This is an honest review based on my personal experience; I am not affiliated with the company and this is not a paid advertisement. Quick Setup Guide: App First: Download the CME WIDI app. Pairing: Hold the small button on the side of the device to connect via Bluetooth. Firmware: Use the app to run the firmware updates. Important: There are two separate updates to complete! Launch Lessons (App): Open Piano Marvel. It detects the device automatically and works perfectly. It’s an investment, but it’s the best way to keep the iPad charged during long practice sessions on the DDP-80.

I am using this with: Windows PC Android Tablet Meta Quest 3 and Quest 2 VR headset (PianoVision app) -I have a Kawai digital piano and did not want to run a USB cable around to my devices. However, I had trouble connecting my piano's Bluetooth to anything other than official Kawai apps. Windows requires 3rd party hacks for Bluetooth MIDI and they do NOT work well. -This device saves me the headache on everything. I had some troubles updating the firmware but eventually got it squared away. Once I had set the device up, it's SUPER easy. Just plug it into any device, the piano immediately connects with no noticeable latency, and it stays connected. It bypasses your devices bluetooth stack all together which is great, because many android apps don't support bluetooth midi. Please note - when I move my receiver 8 ft from my piano it starts to cut out notes. This is most likely a limitation on my piano's bluetooth transmission power, but something to keep in mind. I highly recommend this product. I would have given up on using my keyboard's bluetooth midi if i hadn't found this device.

Got it installed and working very quickly. Easy and works great!

I bought this with the intent of making my keytar wireless. The MIDI adapter worked flawlessly out-of-the box with my iPhone. The latency is as low as you'll get, and it will connect instantly, sometimes when you don't even need it to. However!! When you use it with Windows 11 (the most popular operating system on the planet), it "connects" for a second and gives up. After scrolling through Reddit, I discovered that the only "official" fix provided by CME is to install a driver from Korg. This "fix" didn't work for me, which is why I had to find an alternative app that works with these devices, Perfect Bluetooth MIDI, which worked after I installed yet another driver (which is a problem on Microsoft's part, not CME). After all this, my keytar worked with my computer with no issues. But if I'm paying $60 for a tiny Bluetooth adapter, it should be perfect. CME should have their own drivers. Edit: Can only play 2 notes at once, if it feels like it. Realistically, you can only reliably get away with one note at once, so don't bother using polyphonic synths with this adapter.

These Widi links are a marvel, allowing me to connect a stone-age but wonderful Yamaha keyboard to the latest and greatest computer equipment. I did however have an issue installing them - my iPad would not recognise them. There was excellent and immediate support from the manufacturer and from the Facebook user group so I was able to identify the problem quickly - good support is rare these days so I think the manufacturer should be praised for doing good support. The issue turned out to be a) firmware needed to be updated and b) all other bluetooth profiles must be deleted before installation ( in my case it was an Apple Pencil causing the problem). So you must delete all existing bluetooth connections, then install and run a firmware update on the WIDI, and then re-install the other bluetooth profiles on top. Everything now works and is of high quality. Recommended.

J’ai acheté le uhost pour palier aux performances minables du midi Bluetooth sur Mac. En effet Apple est au top mais en ce qui concerne le Bluetooth, ils ont décidé que les communications n’étaient pas prioritaires, donc pour des changements de programme, ça passe, mais si vous voulez utiliser un contrôleur continu (une pédale d’expression dans mon cas, branchée sur un pédalier midi Bluetooth) vous avez une latence qui rend le truc inutilisable. Maintenant sur mon MacBook, le Bluetooth est éteint et ce petit truc est branché en usb-c, pédalier midi et pédale d’expression reconnus de suite, nouveau périphérique midi dispo sur la Mac et 0 latence ressentie !

Hem hızlı bağlantı kurdum hem de gecikme yok denecek kadar az. Ipad pro 11 2021 sadece tek usb c portu var. Hub almaktansa kulaklık adaptörü aldım. Midi klavyemi de midi master ile bluetooth ile ipad e bağladım. Hiç zorlanmadım hemen çalıştı. Cubasis uygulaması hemen algıladı. Yani ihtiyacımı kablosuz giderdim.

Funktioniert sehr gut. Einzig die Einrichtung am Computer kann ein wenig aufwendiger sein. Das liegt aber nicht am Gerät. Wer von MIDI Pins auf Bluetooth gehen will ist mit dem WIDI Master bestens aufgehoben.

Didn't received midi cable with it
