WIDI Jack
Advanced Wireless MIDI
Ultra-low latency premium Bluetooth MIDI
What is WIDI Jack?
WIDI Jack is your virtual MIDI interface
Now you can connect all your MIDI devices with standard MIDI I/O wirelessly via Bluetooth MIDI.
Enjoy ultra-low 3ms latency and secure connectivity via Adaptive Frequency Hopping.
Smart Connectivity Algorithms
Latency is not an issue with WIDI.
WIDI distinguishes itself from any other Bluetooth MIDI technology available through its unique SCA technology.
SCA is a collection of highly effective algorithms that optimize performance and minimize interference.
Latency is reduced to an inaudible 3ms as measured between 2 WIDI devices.
MIDI transmits data at a standard rate of 31.25 kbps via cable. WIDI products go up to 400 kbps.
Plug, pair & play
Transmit and receive Bluetooth MIDI via standard TRS/DIN MIDI I/O ports
Bluetooth 5
High performance wireless MIDI with a working range of 20m/65ft without obstacles
Ultra low 3ms latency
Breakthrough latency reduction of just 3ms between two WIDI devices
Automatic pairing
Setup instantly. Operate easily, with convenient auto-pairing between WIDI devices
Transmit any MIDI message
Transmit any MIDI message over Bluetooth including notes, CC, MIDI clock, SysEx and MPE.
Wide compatibility
Add the right TRS/DIN MIDI cable to connect all your MIDI devices. Plus TRS type A/B switch.
Smart Power Solutions
Works fully standalone via powered MIDI OUT. USB power for unpowered MIDI ports.
Bluetooth MIDI groups
Connect up to 5 Bluetooth MIDI devices per group via WIDI App or Group Auto-learn mode
Magnetic design
Clever design solution with magnetic sticker to stick on any surface
WIDI App for iOS/Android
Get lifetime updates and personalise settings with latency or jitter optimisation
What can you do with MIDI over Bluetooth?
Fully Standalone. Completely Wireless. 100% MIDI.
MIDI I/O to MIDI I/O
Connect two pieces of MIDI hardware with two (2) WIDI devices.
Bluetooth MIDI to MIDI I/O
Pair your Bluetooth MIDI controller directly with MIDI hardware using one (1) WIDI Jack.
Operating system to MIDI I/O
Pair macOS, iOS, Android or Windows built-in Bluetooth MIDI to MIDI hardware using one (1) WIDI Jack.
Add WIDI Bud Pro or WIDI Uhost to macOS, iOS, Windows, Android, ChromeOS and Linux for optimal performance.
Bluetooth MIDI Groups
Add up to five (5) WIDI devices with one (1) central WIDI device and up to four (4) peripheral devices across 16 MIDI channels. Communicate wirelessly between the central and its peripherals.
Create fixed pairs when working with multiple WIDI connections simultaneously. Configure 1-to-4 or 4-to-1 MIDI thru, split and merge setups that automatically connect from memory.
WIDI Jack vs. WIDI Master
TRS/DIN MIDI cable options | external power via USB-C (No data)
With 5 different cable options, WIDI Jack is compatible with almost any MIDI device via standard MIDI I/O (not USB MIDI).
WIDI Jack even works with unpowered MIDI OUT ports, devices with only MIDI IN and can switch between TRS MIDI type A/B.
Optional MIDI cables for TRS 2.5mm, 3.5mm (1/8") and 6.35mm (1/4") and switch for Type A and B.
Connect all 5-pin DIN MIDI devices. Even devices with only MIDI IN via optional USB-C port for power.
Connect MIDI devices with more rare DIN-6-mini MIDI ports like the Yamaha Reface Series.
Connect all MIDI devices. Even devices with unpowered MIDI ports via USB-C port for power.

What industry leaders say about us
I was lucky enough to be able to start working with a pair of prototype WIDI adapters from CME. They worked flawlessly and transparently. For example, I immediately had our flagship synthesizer, the Moog ONE, controlling and being controlled by our older MIDI instruments and vintage MIDI controllers.
CYRIL LANCE
Former CTO MOOG Music
CME WIDI is the first Bluetooth MIDI adapter that can perform as both a “peripheral” or “central” device, allowing fast, low-latency, and stable point-to-point wireless connections between any two devices.
TOM WHITE
Former President of MMA
I (Roger) have tested WIDI and found it to be well-designed, fast, easy to use and low-cost. Interestingly, CME have figured out how to get the latency down to as low as 3 ms, which is quite an accomplishment. In my test playing 3-note chords and melody with 3D MPE expression, I didn't perceive any added latency or delays normally associated with Bluetooth.
