WIDI Uhost
3-in-1 USB MIDI Bluetooth Solution
The wireless interface for "Class Compliant" USB MIDI
We have been working on wireless MIDI solutions for over 15 years (read the story here).
After we launched our first crowd created project WIDI Master early 2020, our community requested more specific solutions for advanced Bluetooth MIDI connectivity for USB devices.
Today we present the 3rd member of the WIDI family: WIDI Uhost. Your wireless USB MIDI solution via Bluetooth.
Finally, you can connect your USB MIDI devices with any of your traditional MIDI hardware. The possibilities are endless with our WIDI technology.
