Great, inexpensive option!

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023

This is in light of reading other reviews here.

One quick thing up front: I've seen conflicting info here about which MIDI plug (in/out) goes where. And yes, for dozens of years you'd plug a MIDI OUT cord into your MIDI IN socket on the instrument (and vice versa - that was the standard.

Not sure if standards or changing or if this is just a single example, but their instructions are true to what worked for me: OUT goes into OUT sockets, IN to IN, not the old IN/OUT way I'm used to. For me it worked with the OUTS and INS being coupled respectively.

First, I've used MIDI since the 90's and this wasn't particularly intuitive. The instructions are only a bit helpful (plus the printing is microscopic, not kidding, I had to use a magnifying glass to read them!). It took a few hours to get it going, mostly because only the sparest info is given. It was hard to tell if you needed the 2nd part (the dongle, not the tethered pair), didn't need it, or what. Eventually after seeing a good video that the company included in its order listing, I made progress. My overall goal is to use this so I can move my keyboard far from my audio interface box, yet still input into a DAW (I use the Apple two mostly), and then Airplay it across my house (or whatever space I'm at); the idea is not only to have MIDI control but actually use an onboard instrument in my DAW to sound back to my home pods - all without needing cables.

Eventually I found that I do need the dongle plugged into my desktop Mac (I used a A-to-C USB adapter I had), and then plug in the two MIDI sockets to my keyboard, i.e. I needed all 3. 2) It took a little figuring out exactly how to GET Logic and Garageband to respond - and sound. Turns out yes it was simple, but too simple, and wasn't intuitive. First, I didn't need to do anything that the instructions said (i.e. go to Finder and Audio Setup blah blah, all that happened automatically, so that was a waste of time). Second, after perusing several internet explanations, I finally realized all I had to so was simply to make a new *software instrument* track (not MIDI instrument for my purposes), hit "R" or "I" in the DAW to hear real-time input, and it was automatically responding to the MIDI signal - but more importantly, playing the sound of the digital instrument I selected! All I had to do then is to go into the instrument library and select the one I wanted, and bingo, I was in business.

So yeah, this little device works GREAT (very little latency when hearing your playback) and I'm happy with it. I just think it's simpler than the instructions made out. I think after a small learning curve, I'll find I use this thing a lot and with increased time and hassle saving. So far I'd recommend it... just know how your individual programs or hardware might need to be tweaked.

A lot of bang for the buck - works great!

The M02045N Wireless MIDI with the USB dongle provides a lot of bang for the buck! I use it to wirelessly connect my Korg Triton Extreme keyboard to my PC laptop running a standalone piano VST. "MIDI A" plugs into the keyboard's MIDI IN and MIDI OUT. The "MIDI B" USB dongle plugs into the laptop. My laptop doesn't even have a built-in Bluetooth receiver - it's in the supplied dongle. Works great! No device firmware or Windows 10 driver installations needed.

I also use this with my Triton Extreme using only "MIDI A" to connect wirelessly to an iPhone which has MIDI Bluetooth. There are some good iOS piano apps available, and this Wireless MIDI device allow my dinosaur keyboard (with an action I still like) to act as a MIDI controller for those iOS pianos.

As for the LED colors, flashing blue means no Bluetooth connection has been made. Solid blue means Bluetooth connection has been made. Solid red means internal battery is charging. Red and Blue both illuminate (looks purple) when in use and charging at the same time.

MIDI A has two 5-pin DIN connectors, one labeled OUT you plug into your keyboard's MIDI OUT jack. The other labeled IN you plug into your keyboard's MIDI IN jack. Easy peasy. Note these two connectors have a thin black insulated wire connecting them, but it's not connecting MIDI IN to MIDI OUT like an old style MIDI cable - that would create an ugly MIDI loop! The processor and radio of this wireless Bluetooth MIDI interface are probably in the larger MIDI OUT connector, and it sends over the black wire the data and power appropriate for the smaller MIDI IN connector.

Setup is easy, knowing where to look/how to connect takes time.

Setup: Roland X8 keyboard, iPad and Mac mini

Works great, though has slight latency on the computer (negligible on iPad). I can usually fix the slight latency pretty easily in editing since all the notes have the same lag.

The important thing that I missed: bluetooth MIDI devices don't show up as bluetooth devices in the regular bluetooth devices list on iPad/iPhone when connecting directly (versus the USB stick). You have to use it with an app that supports MIDI bluetooth, and it works out of the box. For instance, iPad didn't register as connected at all till I connected by selecting it through the GarageBand advanced menu.

Mac showed as registered right off the bat in the MIDI studio (submenu on the audio midi setup util), since it was USB device connected. Make sure that the blue light is blinking before connecting any device though. Like all bluetooth devices, only one can be connected at a time and the USB connects automatically when plugged in to the computer (assuming another device wasn't connected first).

IN and OUT are BACKWARDS!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2023

I tried for a few hours to configure on my mac and nothing was working. Turns out that the IN and OUT midi cables are labeled BACKWARDS!!! If you're having trouble try switching them. Now its working great.

Bluetooth does not work

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2024

It may work great with the dongle, but as a Bluetooth device it's terrible. I tried 20 different devices which were a mix of PC's, iPhones, iPads, Android Phones, Android Tablets and none of them saw this as a Bluetooth device. Yes I tried both with the dongle plugged in and unplugged just to see if there was any way to get the thing to be recognized by any device.

Plug and play, excellent

I'd like to ask a question - but can't find the ask a question page

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2023

I found I needed to use a USB C port adapter between the cable and the MacBook Pro. Once I did that I am able to record notes and play them back. But the only playback is through the computer speakers and not through the clavinova. I also do not see the OUT indicator light doing anything. The BLUE light is on, the RED IN light is on but nothing on the OUT indicator. Any suggestions? I'm using Garage Band and Mac OS Ventura. and a Yamaha CVP79 calvinova. Thanks
