Musicians and technophiles in need of a wireless MIDI solution will appreciate the CME WIDI Uhost, a wireless Bluetooth USB MIDI interface for Class-Compliant MIDI controllers and operating systems. The WIDI Uhost connects to your MIDI device and transmits MIDI over Bluetooth between your MIDI hardware and BLE MIDI devices.

You can also connect the Uhost to the USB host port of your MIDI instrument and add advanced Bluetooth MIDI to your MIDI hardware. Connect to the USB port on your computer and ensure ultralow latency Bluetooth MIDI without having to upgrade your PC, tablet, or smartphone. The WIDI Uhost is compatible with Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, and ChromeOS.

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 the performance of WIDI in any given situation. SCA stands for Dual Role Automation, Automatic Pairing Mode, Smart Hub Functionality, Latency Reduction Optimization, and Range Performance Optimization.

• Ultralow 3 ms latency
• Go pro with ground-breaking latency reduction
• Advanced jitter and latency optimization capability

• High performance for studio and stage
• Operate with 65' range

• Easily configure WIDI groups via WIDI app or with group auto-learn mode.
• Create fixed pairs and 1-to-4 MIDI Split/Thru or 4-to-1 MIDI Merge with one (1) central WIDI device and up to four (4) peripherals consisting of WIDI or standard Bluetooth MIDI devices over 16 MIDI channels.
• Run multiple groups at once with automatic pairing from default memory.

Each WIDI device implements high-performance Bluetooth Low Energy 5 (BLE 5) with twice the speed, four times the range, and Adaptive Frequency Hopping technology for minimal interference, secure connectivity, and optimal wireless performance.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Are the line outs 3/4 able to be switchable outputs? For example I use Vmix for streaming and need to be able to send something different to my speakers than what is going to my headphones. So I want to make sure I can route output 3/4 as like just playback and main outputs as the master.

A: Line Outputs 3/4 will output the same audio that is coming from your main monitor outputs 1/2. The reason for outputs 3/4 is primarily for routing to outboard gear like reverb or effects processors and then bring that audio back into your line inputs, to mix with your existing audio. You can also monitor through another pair of monitors using line outs 3/4.

Q: 2. Does this come with any software?

A: This interface includes Ableton Live Lite, MOTU Performer Lite, over 100 instruments for Performer Lite, as well as 6 GB of loops and one-shot samples.

Q: 3. Can this handle a low gain sensitive mic like EV RE20..without cloud lifter ?

A: While it does have enough gain for a mic of this nature, some users have reported noise when turning up the gain, so you may want to consider a fethead or cloud lifter anyway, for the headroom.

Q: 4. Can we output audio from both Input 1 and Input 2 simultaneously to the usb so that we hear both inputs at the same time (mono-mix or stereo mix)?

A: Yes. This will allow two simultaneous inputs.

Q: 5. Will this work on a 2015 iMac?

A: This should connect to a 2015 iMac via the included USB C to A cable. Your macOS will need to be 10.11 or higher in order for this unit to operate.

Q: 6. Can you use this to record Skype calls into your DAW i.e., Garageband?

A: The best way to do that would be to have the Skype coming in from a mobile device like your smartphone or tablet and connect it to one of the line inputs on the M2 using a cable like this one. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/157944-REG/Comprehensive_XLRP_MPS_6ST_XLRP_MPS_6ST_EXF_Stereo_Mini.html You would be able to adjust the level between the Skype call and the microphone that you would have connected to the Motu M2 interface.

Q: 7. Have the drivers been updated to work correctly with Apple Silicon M1 and M2?

A: Yes, the MOTU M2 USB Audio-MIDI Interface drivers are now compatible for use with Apple silicon M1 and M2 computers.

Q: 8. I can't get the m4 to turn itself off when the computer shuts down. Has anyone got this to work? Every other usb device does this.

A: The MOTU M4 has a physical on/ff switch, so if your computer is sleeping it will remain on. In order to have it shut down with your computer, you may have to adjust settings in your computer to stop power being sent to USB when shut down.

Q: 9. does this interface work with Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro 250 ohms?

A: Yes the Motu M2 headphone output can drive 250 ohm headphones.

Q: 10. Does the motu m2 can work fine with a pair of Yamaha HS7 studio monitors?

A: Yes, they will work well together. You will just need a pair of 1/4" TRS to TRS cable to connect them: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1036641-REG/pearstone_pm_trs03_pm_series_trs_m_to.html
