WIDI Uhost
Advanced Wireless MIDI
Ultra-low latency premium Bluetooth MIDI
What is WIDI Uhost?
WIDI Uhost is your Bluetooth MIDI Interface + USB host.
Add Bluetooth MIDI to your class compliant MIDI controllers, instruments and computers via USB.
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 the USB port of your MIDI device or computer.
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 auto-pairing between WIDI devices
Transmit any MIDI message
Transmit any MIDI message over Bluetooth including notes, CC, MIDI clock, SysEx and MPE.
USB host for class compliant USB MIDI
Add premium Bluetooth MIDI to plug-and-play USB ports of class compliant MIDI devices

What can you do with MIDI over Bluetooth?
Plug, pair & play
USB MIDI to MIDI I/O
Connect two pieces of MIDI hardware with two (2) WIDI devices.
USB MIDI to Bluetooth MIDI
Pair USB MIDI devices wirelessly with any Bluetooth MIDI device using one (1) WIDI Uhost.
USB MIDI to PC, Laptop & Mobile
Pair class compliant USB MIDI devices with all major operating systems using two (2) WIDI Uhost units.
USB MIDI to iOS/macOS
Pair USB MIDI devices wirelessly with your iOS/MacOS device using one (1) WIDI Uhost unit.
Add a secondary WIDI Uhost to bypass limitations of built-in Bluetooth of your Apple device.
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.
3-in-1 Bluetooth MIDI Interface
USB host + smart power split for Class Compliant USB MIDI devices
WIDI Uhost allows direct wireless communication between your USB MIDI controller and hardware.
Keep one single USB power source for both the WIDI Uhost and your bus-powered MIDI controller.

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's 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.
