Hi I have a Korg Havian piano which has usb A and B ports. I want this to control my Technics KN2000 that has 5 pin midi port’s. Please advise what I need to get these guys talking to each other?
Regard and much success to all of your amazing developments !!
I would like to purchase with the discount in the UK please if possible. Cheers Barry
Hi Barry,
Your safest option is to get yourself WIDI Uhost in pre-order with the right cables. For your Korg you can go for WIDI Jack + 5-PIN DIN cable option.
You can learn more here and following the buying guide: https://www.cme-pro.com/widi-which-device-will-you-connect/

Hope this helps!
Hi there I am based in UK and have just ordered one of these from UK supplier to avoid the hassle with customs and VAT, so sadly not able to take advantage of the summer promo . But I am looking forward to using it with EWI5000 and Widi Master to give me Wireless freedom for Sax and Brass etc..I keep getting tangled in cables when playing with band and have occasionally pulled out the USB lead so being able to move off the spot and around will be a luxury. I wonder if there is a 5pin right angled adapter for widi master so it doesn’t stick out of EWI 5000 ?
Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a pleasant wireless experience with WIDI Master. There is no angled adapter available. What you can do is disconnect the small sub-connector and only use the large main adapter. This way you only connect WIDI Master with your MIDI OUT and there is no cable bungling around that you do not need.
Another solution that might interest you is WIDI Jack + 5-PIN DIN. You can stick the WIDI Jack anywhere on your device and use the smaller cable to connect it with MIDI OUT.
In its essence WIDI Jack and WIDI Master are the same. Only you can use different cables with WIDI Jack and add an external power supply if needed. So, if you can find that special cable you need you can go from TRS 2.5 (3/32″) MIDI of the WIDI Jack to your DIN-5 of your EWI.
Hopefully this helps: https://www.cme-pro.com/why-you-should-buy-widi-jack/
Let’s keep connected.
