Looks incredibly useful!
With some of these devices can I connect my usb midi keyboard controller to hardware synth with midi din input?
Yes. You can use U6MIDI Pro for this.
I bought the WIDI Thru6 BT on October 24 in pre-order and I’m still waiting for it to be shipped
Orders for EU countries already are in The Netherlands and will be send out shortly. If you want any detailed info on your order simply email to shipment(at)cme-pro.com
Great! Now we can go to shows & watch people on stage look at their cell phones. Thrilling stuff…
Actually it is the other way around. With these you get to see people who would of been “looking at their phones” using the midi instruments to control the auv3s of their dreams. =Happy musicians and happy audience, no trigger warnings needed.
I guess I’m a sucker for these widgets. As I look into a box on my studio floor that is filled with old Anatek “Pocket” devices, MIDI Solutions devices, and even some old Studiomaster stuff, I’m looking at the prices and will probably ending purchasing at least a couple of each. It would have been nice if they put a merger on the interface box, because that would maki it unique. I kind of wished that Anatek never folded. Their Pocket Merges are probably the most indispensable thing I keep in my gig bag. Even thought the MIDI solutions clones appear to perform equally as well, the sixe and look of the Pockets are what makes them valuable.
Wow I like that U6MIDI pro! Nice features and price point. Being able to use it with or without USB is interesting. Now if it could only work in USB host mode as well as device mode…..
