Wireless MIDI made simple
The WIDI for K.O. II and Medieval removes the need for cables or computers when connecting your teenage engineering instruments. By acting as a virtual MIDI cable, it allows your EP-133 or EP-1320 to send and receive MIDI information wirelessly over Bluetooth. This means you can integrate your K.O. II or Medieval into a wider setup without worrying about tangled leads or limited physical connections.
Whether you want to control another piece of MIDI hardware, link with a controller, or sync with software on a computer or tablet, the WIDI handles the connection seamlessly. Once plugged into the TRS MIDI port, it is immediately powered by the instrument itself, keeping everything fully portable and cable free. Simply plug, pair and play.
Ultra low latency and stable performance
One of the main challenges of wireless MIDI is latency, but the WIDI addresses this with its unique smart connectivity algorithms. These algorithms manage data traffic and interference to deliver a latency of only 3ms between two WIDI units. This is faster than human perception and ensures that the playing feel is natural and in sync.
For comparison, standard wired MIDI transmits at 31.25 kbps, while WIDI operates at speeds of up to 400 kbps. This performance allows you to enjoy the freedom of wireless MIDI without compromising timing or accuracy. Adaptive Frequency Hopping further enhances stability by automatically avoiding crowded channels. This means you can use the WIDI in live environments or shared studio spaces without losing connection quality.
Compatible with a wide range of devices
Although designed specifically for teenage engineering’s K.O. II and Medieval units, the WIDI is not limited to those instruments. It connects with any Bluetooth MIDI device, including products from Yamaha, Roland, Korg, Akai and Roli. It can also pair directly with macOS, iOS, Android and Windows devices that support Bluetooth MIDI. With the addition of a WIDI Bud Pro or WIDI Uhost, you can expand this compatibility to platforms such as ChromeOS and Linux for optimal results.
Expandable with groups and app control
The WIDI app for iOS and Android unlocks even more possibilities. It allows you to form groups of up to five WIDI devices, with one acting as the central unit and four as peripherals. These groups can be set to communicate across all 16 MIDI channels, enabling wireless thru, split or merge configurations. Once saved, the groups automatically reconnect from memory, so you do not need to repeat the setup every time. The app also offers personalisation of settings such as latency or jitter optimisation, keeping your system tuned to your performance needs.
Fully standalone and easy to use
Power is drawn directly from the TRS MIDI output of your K.O. II or Medieval, meaning there is no requirement for an external power source. Setup is instant with automatic pairing, so you can go from plugging in to playing in seconds. The working range extends up to 20 metres in open space, giving you freedom of movement in rehearsals, performances and studio sessions. Despite this capability, the unit remains compact and purpose built to fit seamlessly with the teenage engineering design aesthetic.
