Very useful product. A little tricky to connect to a Mac.

Very useful product. It converts your regular MIDI keyboard to a wireless bluetooth keyboard. It is very easy to connect on an iOS device. It automatically find the dongle in the app. I use both iPhone 5S and iPad Mini. However it was hard to connect to a Mac at first, but then I solved it. You cannot find directions to connect on the manual or on Yamaha's website. But the information below which I found on another website (Yamaha Synth Dot Com) helped me a lot. Since I cannot share the direct link of that web page, I share the useful information below to help other users: “Connecting the MD-BT01 or UD-BT01 to a Macintosh computer requires the use of “Audio MIDI Setup”. This is located in the Utility folder of the Mac and easily found by typing the name into the Spotlight search (the magnifying glass in the upper left corner of the screen). First, connect the MD/UD-BT01 to your MIDI device (there’s a handy red LED to let you know when the connection is correct). Then, open Audio MIDI Setup and power on the MIDI device with the connected MD or UD-BT01 (or cycle the power once, if it is already on). The Audio/MIDI Setup application starts with an overview of connected audio devices. To see the MIDI studio, choose the “Show MIDI Studio” from the “Window” pulldown menu within the Audio MIDI Setup Application. The MIDI Studio settings show all available devices along with previously connected devices. Since each system is unique, your MIDI Studio will look a little different than the one above. The devices that are available for connection are highlighted. Click on the Bluetooth icon to open settings for the MD/UD-BT-01: My MD-BT01 appears as “BA-BT-01” (I named it using the MD-BT01/UD-BT01 Utility app on iOS from the previous article). To connect the device, click the “Connect” icon under the Action column of the dialog box below: Once you have connected your MD/UD-BT01, it should show up as an available MIDI device in your DAW software. This will allow you to wirelessly connect MIDI I/O to your DAW software, and any wired connection via MIDI or USB MIDI will appear and be available simultaneously.”

Works even on Windows 10

Had to update my Bluetooth driver and install some extra soft (MidiBerry from WIndows Store + loopMidi or LoopBe1) but in the end it worked. Not very reliable when disconnecting and reconnecting (sometimes have to reboot PC), but that's a problem on Windows side, tried with Ipad and it works without issues. Also note that there's an app to update firmware and rename the device, but only on iOS - when I loaded it I was able to update firmware from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4, not sure if that improved anything though, my main problem seemed to be default MSFT Bluetooth driver with which there was bad latency and jitter, but now after installing latest from Intel it works smoothly (when it connects, because connection / re-connection is not very reliable).

Love it. I don't have to connect to battery ...

I use this with my Yamaha N2 Digital Piano. It works perfectly. I can send and receive Midi with my iPad or computer. Love it. I don't have to connect to battery or power adapter.

Great midi adapter, doesn't require batteries

This bluetooth LE midi adapter was super easy to use and connected with my iphone right away once I loaded the Yamaha app. It doesn't require batteries since it draws power from one of the midi jacks. All my midi commands went from my iphone to my midi device as expected.

Works with iPad & Disklavier

Allows me to wireless connect my Disklavier (or any MIDI keyboard) to my iPad or laptop. Currently using it with "Playground Sessions" so that the notes I'm playing register within the app on the iPad.

Great for EWI electronic wind instrument!

This is great for wirless midi from my EWI4000s to my iPad Mini3. Very small latency if any at all. Not noticable to me when I play. Pros: - Wireless freedom! - Only $50 - Handles all the high capacity of CC Midi that my EWI can throw at it Neutral: - When my batteries run low, the first indication is that the midi drops out - SampleTank tries to cut off everything that isn't iRig brand > IK Multimedia is self defeating with their restriction attempts; I will not touch their otherwise good products since their registration controls everything you do. > To get around this just start up any other app that has midi bluetooth, and keep it running in the background. I use Cubasis or Midiflow or Korg or Polychord - anything from another company Cons: - The plugs stick out the back of the EWI like a 1/4" cable does; this has not been a problem and is better than the cables. However I am concerned that constant bumping of the midi chord might break it over time. But if it does, I will gladly buy another!

It works fine but your device may induce latency

This unit works well and the instructions are fine. However, I'm using it on a very old keyboard and believe it is the keyboard that is causing a noticeable delay (latency) between pressing a key and hearing the note on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 running Android 8.

Tied my Yamaha P80 Digital Piano to GarageBand with this adapter.

This is a great addition to my Yamaha P80 digital piano. I connected this adapter to the piano’s Midi ports, connected it to GarageBand on my MacBook Pro, and viola I had a synthesizer rack!! I was looking at buying a used synth rack, but this setup meets my needs! The Bluetooth doesn’t appear automatically like most devices. You’ll need OSX 10 or later to connect and you’ll need to go through the Audio midi setup on your Mac to identify/locate the adapter.

This product works PERFECTLY and it's extremely fast and easy to connect to

This product works PERFECTLY and it's extremely fast and easy to connect to. It's also the right size. The other product out there is too fat and doesn't fit properly. This one does. It's also very reliable. Thanks for a great product.

Works well between player grand piano and iPhone or iPad. No latency noticed.

I connected this to my vintage 1997 Yamaha Disklavier grand piano. I was able to pair with my iPhone and iPad using an app called midimittr. Once paired, I was able use the Roland Sound Canvas app in order to generate sounds to accompany my playing. There was no detectable latency. I could also use other apps to both play to and record from the piano in exactly the same way as if I had used a USB connection to the iPhone. I think any app that will work with USB midi will also work with Bluetooth once you have paired using the midimittr app. I also succeeded in connecting to an Android phone and using midi in and out, but do not recall the steps right now. The coolest thing is: You don't need a power supply or batteries. It gets power from the Bluetooth jacks directly.
