Frequently Asked Questions

While it supports standard BLE MIDI controllers, its primary design focuses on seamless integration with CME’s WC series, offering the most robust functionality.
It allows multiple WIDI Cores to communicate, essentially acting as a MIDI network; the number of devices supported will depend on the host device's capabilities and Bluetooth version.
Latency can vary slightly depending on the host device's processing power and Bluetooth implementation, but 3ms is a good baseline expectation for a stable connection.
