Nektar WIDIFLEX Bluetooth Adapter for MIDI Devices

Add Wireless Bluetooth BLE MIDI Capability to Traditional MIDI Devices

Introducing Nektar WIDIFLEX Bluetooth Adapter for MIDI Devices, a pair of MIDI DIN plugs with integrated Bluetooth functionality in the larger plug that links to your MIDI Out socket. No external power source required; WIDIFLEX draws power from your gear’s MIDI Out socket.

Easy Setup: Simply plug WIDIFLEX into your MIDI gear’s MIDI DIN sockets. Connect the larger plug to the device's MIDI Out and the smaller detachable one to the MIDI In.

For direct MIDI-to-MIDI connections, connect a second WIDIFLEX set to the gear you wish to link with. Automatic Pairing ensures both devices connect effortlessly, enabling full bi-directional transmission of all MIDI data, including MIDI Clock and MPE.

For Computer-to-MIDI connectivity with current Mac OS computers or iOS, pair WIDIFLEX with the built-in Bluetooth. On Windows, you may require a WIDIFLEX USB for connection. Once plugged in, it automatically links to your WIDIFLEX, making the new MIDI port visible in your DAW.

Bluetooth (BLE) to MIDI connections are fully supported. Utilize WIDIFLEX to pair Bluetooth MIDI controllers with your stage piano or synthesizer, allowing you to perform wirelessly from the stage.

Connect Multiple WIDI Devices: WIDIFLEX offers more than just one wireless Bluetooth MIDI connection. Establish multiple fixed pairs and WIDI groups of up to 5 devices for enhanced functionality.
