MIDI is magic.
In this video I'll show off the advantages of new wireless MIDI tech like the CME Pro WIDI Master. We'll test out the latency and talk about some (not so) comparable alternatives as well.
The Musical Instrument Digital Interface (or MIDI) is a way to connect devices that make and control sound - such as synthesizers, samplers, and computers - so that they can communicate with each other, using standardized messages. This lets one keyboard trigger sounds on another synthesizer, and it makes it possible to record music in a form that allows for easy note editing, flexible orchestration, and song arrangement. Virtual instruments - computer programs that simulate hardware synthesizers and samplers - also communicate with computer sequencing software running on the same computer using MIDI messages.
MIDI was developed in the 1980's and has remained a standard of music production ever since, with minor advances in the technology, and almost all professional music equipment being included with it's functionality.
Up until very recently, MIDI was available in 2 standard forms: MIDI DIN and USB MIDI, USB being a more modern equivalent that can send bi-directional information with just one cable. In the last few years we have seen advancements allowing for MIDI over wifi and wireless technologies like bluetooth but until BLE5 (Blueooth Low Engery 5) was introduced in 2020 there was just too much noticeably latency.
Today, we have the WIDI Master by @CMEPro ... let's see what it can do!
