@@rombsix what we are currently looking at is a tx/rx solution that can make your wired headphone go wireless. You can use your favorite headphone, and we can make it wireless. That is the first idea 💡

@@CMEPro - that sounds great, but the problem is there would still be a cable between the rx and the headset (the actual cans). In that case, some of the wireless IEMs that already exist would be serving a similar function, no? I get it, that your tech will be more affordable than the pro level IEMs that cost in the thousands of dollars, but there would still be the hassle of a belt-pack and the hassle of the cable going from the belt-pack (i.e. the rx) to the cans / earbuds that are in contact with the user's head / ears. What I like about the Yamaha and the AIAIAI solutions is that they are truly cable-free, so just a short cable from the audio interface to the tx, and zero cables on or near the body of the musician (and no belt-packs but rather just the headset that has all the rx tech inside the headband). Can we dream of such innovation from CME in the future? Basically, it would be the current Yamaha product minus the interference (I know, that is one of the two hearts of the matter). After extensive testing, I had to return the Yamaha headphones (after purchasing them twice and not being able to get rid of the dropouts) and accept the limitations of the AIAIAI headphones. With the AIAIAIs, there are zero dropouts, rarely (if any) pops/crackles, and the audio quality is acceptable, but yeah, clipping issues, signal is not loud enough, and that damn hiss... Save us, CME! :P

@@rombsix we take this step by step. First the core technology, followed by integrations like you propose. So, yes it is possible we will go into that direction. The idea is, HD audio, without latency, without interference 😊

@@crabbydad8931 the power consumption of WIDI devices is really low. Make sure you have a power bank that does not have a sleep mode, as those will think there is no device attached, because the power consumption is so low, and turn themselves off. If you use it as a wireless host for a USB MIDI client device, it can power that device through a single standard USB power source. The question is which hardware are you powering via the WIDI Uhost, that is the one you should scale your power source towards.

@@TheIllynow MIDI Thru5 is a MIDI splitter. You can have a single input and copy that to its 5 outputs. It is only for MIDI I/O, not for USB MIDI. So, if you have one central hardware device, and you want to control 5 other pieces of hardware, you are good with the MIDI Thru5 and using 16 MIDI channels.

Yes, 65ft, yes 👍 You can wirelessly connect to the built-in Bluetooth of your Mac. You can also use it as an advanced Bluetooth MIDI interface to bypass the onboard Bluetooth by plugging it into your USB port. Range is 65ft (30m) without obstacles. WIDI can transmit any MIDI message, including MPE, Sysex and CC/PC

@@CMEProthanks for the response:)) Also, does it send back MIDI? I’m looking to connect it to an Akai APC 40 mk2 to move on stage controlling Ableton. The plan is to give power to the device trough a battery with pass through connected to the Apc USB port,and then connect the WIDI device to the battery. But the Apc show’s the lights of what’s going on in the computer. So would it receive that information from the computer?? Could I change things on the computer and it would appear on the device like when it’s connected with usb cable? Thanks!🙌🏻

@@betsonmusic it depends on how your APC is designed. WIDI devices are bidirectional by default. They can transmit any MIDI message. I do not know your device, but if it is class compliant plug and play USB MIDI, it is compatible with WIDI Uhost. You can power both your hardware and the Uhost via a single power source plugged into the Uhost. Make sure to use a USB OTG cable between your Uhost and APC to ensure it can operate as the host for your client controller. Also, some manufacturers use USB ports to transmit other data than MIDI. WIDI devices only transmit MIDI messages. You can learn more via the online start guide: www.cme-pro.com/widi-uhost-start-guide-bluetooth-midi-usb-host/ Hope this helps 😀👍

It means that is is either sending or transmitting messages. Maybe you have a constant clock transmitting or another MIDI message. It is normal behavior.

Sorry for the inconvenience. If you connect two WIDI devices to each other, one will stay blue, the other turns turquoise indicating it operates as the central. When you connect a WIDI device via Bluetooth to an operating system, it will stay blue as it will always operate as the peripheral of the operating system that acts as the central. This is about the Bluetooth LED on the left. The green LED on the right turns green when you connect the USB side and it powers on. This is normal behavior: www.cme-pro.com/widi-uhost-start-guide-bluetooth-midi-usb-host/#tve-jump-1835c2af79e I guess your WIDI Uhost is automatically connected to the device that you used to upgrade its firmware. This occupies the connection, and at that point it is no longer available to connect to your MIDI device via Bluetooth. That is standard behavior too. You should remove your WIDI Uhost from the general Bluetooth device list of your mobile device used for updating via WIDI App, to avoid this auto-connectivity. Once that is done, the left LED will blink blue slowly, indicating it is waiting for a connection. If your MIDI device has integrated Bluetooth MIDI, they will now be able to auto-connect. You can use group auto-learn to create a fixed connection between your WIDI device and your 3rd party Bluetooth MIDI controller.

@@CMEPro Sorry. You’re right. My bad. Didn’t mean to go “Karen” on you.🙄 I humbly apologize. I’ve updated the firmware, (I think?🤔) and the WIDI Jack is paired and seems to receive information (flashes blue) imbedded in the iPad-Stage Traxx3-Lyrics. However, it no longer changes the patches (PC) on my Roland GT-1000Core, as it previously did. As far as I know, nothing was changed on the effects pedal to cause this. Not so sure bout the syntax in Stage Traxx3, however. I am seeing differences, now, from what Peter’s online messages and video tutorials offer, compared to what I originally culled from the online User Manual - that WAS working. For reasons still unknown to me, whatever was working between these three devices suddenly isn’t with regard to midi PC messaging implementation, and it’s negatively impacting my solo ‘live’ performance. 🎩😖🙏

We’ve chosen to provide a power option via USB-C. This way, you do not have to pay for features you will not use.

And that was a bad choice. Up the piece and include internal power!!

@@meatmeep3462 internal power requires additional certifications, and will increase the sales price of the device. This while most hardware provides power over MIDI Out. At the same time, we cannot compete with pricing of power options currently on the market. The USB-C solution is the best choice for us, and the majority of the MIDI community. Of course not for all, but I think it is justified with its current price point. Hope this helps to place things in a wider perspective.

@@CMEPro This is not true. MOST hardware devices do NOT provide power. Certain music devices do, like Keyboards or multieffects, but many controllers do not provide power at the MIDI jack. This severely limits the use of the product and makes it unusable for me, as about 80% of my devices do not provide power at the jack, so I agree with meatmeep above. I would happily pay three times more to have internal power as part of the device. Having to attach a third-party battery completely negates the point of having a small MIDI jack device, and makes this unusable as a solution almost anywhere.

@@KudaBear-jy1zl I understand your position on this. The honest story us that it has been considered, but the best option is to offer WIDI Jack with an external power option via USB-C. Actually, WIDI Jack was specifically designed for this scenario. It does exactly the same as WIDI Master, and adds exchangeable cables and external power. This widens the usage of WIDI to unpowered MIDI ports, devices with only MIDI in, TRS MIDI type A/B and even the rare DIN-6 mini, sometimes used by Yamaha. Again, I understand it is not the perfect solution for your scenario, but it delivers a solution for many. From a development perspective, you have to keep in mind that adding batteries has consequences for certification, safety and the design. It requires a different moulding, and a higher cost. As WIDI Master and WIDI Jack already offer a solution for many, the remaining market for your solution becomes small and the price will go up. Not only for certifications and safety requirements, but also for a small market with a small production requirement. These are all decisions we have to take into account, and that is why we are currently at this stage. Of course, an internal battery can be considered, but imagine what it will do for service matters. An external power option is easily replaced. Integrating an internal battery in the design, requires servicing for many years of that exact same model for replacement. Maybe in the future we are able to meet your requirements, as the demand rises for WIDI, making the market large enough for a solution like yours. I hope the above provides you sufficient insights to understand why these kind of decisions are made. I do appreciate and understand your demand for this, but we simply cannot supply that at this moment. 🙏🙏

Yes, it can. If I remember correctly, the Volcas have only MIDI In. If that is correct your solution is WIDI Jack + 5-pin DIN accessory cable, and an external power source via USB-C 😀👍 www.cme-pro.com/widi-which-device-will-you-connect/
