CME Announces World’s First Duplex Wireless MIDI/USB System
CME, based in China and distributed in the US by Yamaha Corporation of
America, continues it’s string of world’s firsts with the shipping of the WIDI X-8, a full duplex wireless system for
MIDI and USB communication.
A great way to clean up long MIDI cable runs or extend USB connections, the WIDI X-8 comes with two identical MIDI/USB
devices that operate in four different ways depending on the users needs. First, each unit can work independently as a stand-
alone USB to MIDI interface. With both units in MIDI/RF mode, a keyboard or MIDI controller can be wirelessly connected to
rack modules, samplers, or other keyboards – great for use on stage. With both units in USB/RF mode, USB data is transmitted
between devices, allowing wireless communication between two computers in different areas of the home or studio. Put one
unit in USB/RF mode and the other in MIDI/RF mode and you have a wireless interface to connect a keyboard or MIDI
controller to a computer.
Key Features:
- Operates on 2.4GHz ISM license-free band
- Transmission range up to 262 feet (unobstructed)
- Low power consumption, high speed, error correction ability
