Bluetooth Midi Adapter with ME iO?

Post by rcf56 »

I have the first gen version Midi Expression with the round body. I’ve always been impressed by the reliability when used with my iPad, and the config app is great too. I’d love more footswitch inputs; I also wish there was an Audiofront Bluetooth version available. I’m expecting delivery of a CME WIDI Master soon; it’s a 5 pin din Bluetooth midi adapter. Will the Midi Expression iO 5 pin din output port power the WIDI Master?

Very pleased with the Midi Expression iO. A big step up from my first gen, which wouldn't allow me to use the smoothing parameters in the app. Great to be able to save my configs now too. Very quick delivery and no taxes/import duty to pay this time. ;-)

Happy to report that ME iO works perfectly with the Widi Master for Bluetooth connection with my iPad Mini 5. I was hoping to be able to use it in conjunction with a portable powerbank for full wireless use, but the Widi Master drops the Bluetooth connection with all the USB power banks that I've tried plugged into the ME iO, this happens after about 1 minute. I have also tried my Ripcord adapters plugged into the ME iO dc power socket and the same thing happens. I will experiment some more and report back if I have any success. A great product though.

Many thanks.
