Killer vid! I just got this bad boy from Sweetwater & will be hooking it up tomorrow. Looks I got the right one! I’m gonna be using it just for tracking so I don’t have to run a cable. I might even check out some stuff on my iPad since it connects that way as well.

Really neat, thanks for the video Scott! Personally, I have no idea why anyone, let alone Yamaha, would build a device that transmits such a small amount of data (MIDI protocol) and then doesn't even allow it to be bus-powered. Not only does it severely degrade its live applications, but doesn't even reduce your cable clutter in the studio at all, given that wired MIDI cables don't require power. Or maybe they would insist you run it from a RipCord adapter with a power brick?
@ScottUhlMusic4 жыл бұрын
Thanks Drew! And I’m assuming you are not talking about the main one the video is on (the MD BT01), but the other usb one. The 5pin midi one gets power from your device, but the usb one does not. Yeah it’s a little odd that everything is usb bus powered but that little guy couldn’t be. And I really did consider doing that setup with the MyVolts Ripcord haha. But for now, this thing works great.

Definitely trying this, this week, except I've got a Roland wm-1 on the way and using a SY-1000 > GX-100 >VE-500. What I'm curious if you've had any experience, you said the helix has the foot switch emulation, I don't have that in my manuals of my devices so will probably have to look into specific cc# to run parallel to my foot switches so LEDs light up etc 🤣 I'm using stagetraxx , also has insane midi, lyrics scrolling, etc. I do solo gigs and build my own band in studio for my tracks. Wm-1 is battery powered... Would be nice if it doubles as midi powered but not sure yet. Anyways grabbed the app recommendation, thanks for that and great content dude 👍👍

I bought the md bt 01 to connect a kawai es8 to ipad pro 2020. The latency is noticeable in garage band, korg module, ravenscroft. I routed the audio out via a dragonfly cobalt into sennheiser hd 660s. I returned it. The question is if i hook it up via usb will the latency improve or i have to get an audio interface with direct monitoring?
@ScottUhlMusic3 жыл бұрын
I haven’t had that problem with these, but you can also try this one to see if it fixes the problem: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIOUq36og8ufebs As for latency, going USB might fix it. The only way to find out is to try it 👍

Does it work with ALL midi instruments? Power supply was not part of the original midi specs and I have heard that not all instruments will supply it and that some do so over different pins. Midi data only uses 2 of the five pins leave a choice of possible pins.

Hi Scott. I tried the Yamaha UD-BT01 on my HX Stomp. This would be the ideal solution as I need to keep my DIN ports available for daisy chaining. For whatever reason, it won't communicate with HX's USB port. Midi commands are just ignored, though the Yamaha LED flashes whenever instructions are send. Attached to an Eventide H9 or BlueSky I have no issues. Any Idea why these two won't cooperate? ps. I managed to establish communication by inserting a USB-midi interface cable between the Yamaha and the HX. But this shouldn't be necessary, I suppose?
@ScottUhlMusic2 жыл бұрын
I was not able to get the USB port to work with the Yamaha UD Bluetooth either. I believe it has something to do with it being USB midi as well as usb audio. If you need to daisy chain, you can daisy chain multiple wireless midi together with the WIDI master: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIOUq36og8ufebs

I’ve personally never used it that way, however I believe the red light comes on when the OUT is plugged in so it should work. A new piece of technology called the “WIDI Master” by CME that might actually work better for what you need, and it’s a similar price to this.

It will work with MIDI Out only as long as it delivers the power on that port. You can even detach the main and sub connector. This is they way Electronic Wind Instruments and Keytars utilize WIDI Master. For MIDI IN and unpowered MIDI OUT, we are working on www.cme-pro.com/widi-jack
