WIDIFLEX USB - advanced wireless MIDI for your computer.

Wireless Bluetooth BLE MIDI for all operating systems

WIDIFLEX USB adds Bluetooth MIDI with an ultra-low latency of 3ms and advanced jitter optimization to all major operating systems. In combination with WIDIFLEX you can then create a wireless hi-performance MIDI setup for studio or stage, featuring twice the speed and four times the range (20 meters / 65 feet) of earlier Bluetooth versions. On MacOS you can of course use the integrated Bluetooth functionality, but by adding WIDIFLEX USB you will reduce the operating system's minimum latency from 7.5 ms down to 3 ms.

WIDIFLEX USB has advanced wireless connectivity for Auto-Pairing with WIDIFLEX. Pairing other devices is equally easy when you use the WIDI app for iOS and Android (free download in the app stores). You can also use it to create and manage WIDI groups of up to 5 Bluetooth MIDI devices. Your settings are memorized, so next time you start your system all your connections are automatically re-established.

Plug in and go: Plug WIDIFLEX USB into your computer's USB connector and enjoy utra-low latency Bluetooth MIDI without having to upgrade your PC, tablet or smartphone. You won't even need to install custom drivers, as WIDIFLEX USB is USB-class-compliant. It uses the operating system's built-in MIDI driver. Simply plug it in and WIDIFLEX USB will become available as a new MIDI port in your DAW software!

Bluetooth MIDI WIDIFLEX USB

If you use WIDIFLEX to connect your MIDI devices, simply plug them into their MIDI sockets and they will auto-connect to WIDIFLEX USB by default. This also works with BLE MIDI devices, eg. a Keytar. To set up, edit and manage those connections, you can use the free WIDI app for iOS and Android.

Supported Operating Systems: WIDIFLEX USB is compatible with all current versions of major operating systems, including Mac OS, iOS, Windows, Android, Chrome OS and Linux.

Create WIDI groups
Set up WIDI groups of up to 5 Bluetooth MIDI devices with one central WIDI device and up to 4 peripherals over 16 MIDI channels. You can easily do this via the free WIDI app for iOS and Android, or with the group auto-learn mode. The WIDI app also lets you store setups for instant recall.

Create fixed pairs

You can create fixed pairs when working with multiple wireless MIDI connections at once, and run multiple groups with automatic pairing from default memory.

So when you plug your WIDI units back in, these connections will be restored automatically every time.

About WIDI
The current WIDI products are Bluetooth 5 compatible and comply with the specification for MIDI over Bluetooth by the MMA. The specification for MIDI over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE-MIDI) is based on Apple's implementation (released in iOS 8 and OS X 10.10), so that products from early adopters remain compatible with the industry standard.

WIDI includes a collection of smart algorithms like Adaptive Frequency Hopping to always optimize the performance by selecting the best performing frequency at a given distance between devices. With only 3 ms, the latency between connected WIDI products is extremely low: MIDI only transmits data at a standard speed 31.25 kbit per second via cable - and WIDI products using Bluetooth 5 go up to 400 kb / sec.

WIDI products are 100% MIDI compatible and transmit all MIDI messages over Bluetooth, including MIDI clock, long SysEX and MPE. They provide full bidirectional transmission and reception with dual role automation as both, central and peripheral.
