Book Your WIDI Master: Special Pre-Order Week For Enthusiasts!
Yes! We are opening up for pre-orders. That is why you can book your WIDI Master today. As you all know WIDI Master is developed upon request from our community.

We are looking for ways to involve you even more for future developments
Hi clever CME people. All very exciting. I can’t wait to place an order! I’m looking at about 5 units initially. Keep up the awesome and innovative work.
The risks and missing marketing material
We have a desire to bring WIDI Master to your doorsteps with an honest story. Therefore we need you to understand there are some risks involved. Although we consider it to be a very low risk, we do understand that this is totally different for you.
Currently we are testing our 2nd set of prototypes. At this point we are unable to provide you cool videos, nor do we have other resources available. Therefore we are unable to provide you any convincing material other than our true story.
Also, due to the coronavirus, we have had some delay in the development and maybe also in the manufacturing of the 1st batch. Nevertheless we consider it the right time to open up pre-ordering for the true enthusiasts. That said, we still target to deliver your WIDI Master in July 2020.
After reading your article. I was so sad that this adapter may not be able to fit what I was hoping to use. What I was hoping to use is to make iPad the controller to my midi to cv which only has a midi in and no midi out port. If I understand it correctly, CME won’t work with my setup in mind since it won’t have power.

We are in this together.
It would be awesome if there would be a way an alternative way to power the midi in device. I have use for this in 2 places, but none of them have a spare midi out or thru to power the midi in device…
But I understand limitations of design. And this is still awesome!
Dedicated group for music technology enthusiasts
For the enthusiasts who order during this early stage, we shall invite you to a newly created WhatsApp Chat Group. It is in this group where we are able to directly communicate with each other. This will be our special source group to discuss Bluetooth MIDI. Therewith it will be closely connected to the future developments of the WIDI family.
Also, from the conversations we have in this group, we will be able to convert your questions into the first footage of marketing videos.

Hola, ¿puedo comprar ahora una unidad y ver si se ajusta a mis necesidades y después volver a hacer otra compra con el mismo descuento?
Hi, can I buy a unit now and see if it suits my needs and then make another purchase at the same discount?
Hi Alberto,
We do not know yet if we will make more products after pre-order, it depends the market response. So we only can guarantee that you can get the best price in pre-order. Anyway, please buy the units that you really need, we do not want you spend too much money on it before you use it.
Thanks for your support!
Hello, I have an old midi keyboard which has midi out only. I want to use it with the WIDI to control soft synth on my iOS device. I assume there is no need for a midi in or midi thru for this set up to work, correct?
Completely correct. You can use the main adapter of WIDI Master separately to connect the MIDI OUT of your keyboard an pair with you iOS via Bluetooth MIDI. 🙂
Hi, this is a perfect solution for connecting my keyboard with my map too via Bluetooth. Will it work with windows 10?
As Bluetooth MIDI has originally been developed by Apple, WIDI will operate with Apple seamlessly.
On Windows PC Bluetooth MIDI requires your music software to implement Microsoft’s new UWP API which includes BLUETOOTH MIDI class compliant driver. You need to be able to set that functionality in the software you use.
If that is not possible there are 3 solutions:
1. Use virtual MIDI driver: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/midiberry/9n39720h2m05
2. Use our previous WIDI BUD: https://xkeyair.com/widi-bud/
3. Wait for our new WIDI UHOST: https://www.cme-pro.com/beyond-bluetooth-midi-controllers-…/
To answer your question. Yes it will work, but not as easy as with Apple. You need to do some extra work to allow Bluetooth MIDI to function fully on your Windows PC.
Enjoy!
