Midi Interfaces

WIDIFLEX USB – ADVANCED WIRELESS MIDI FOR YOUR COMPUTERWireless Bluetooth BLE MIDI for all operating systemsWIDIFLEX USB adds Bluetooth MIDI with an ultra-low latency of 3ms and advanced jitter optimization to all major operating systems. In combination with WIDIFLEX you can then create a wireless hi-performance MIDI setup for studio or stage, featuring twice the speed and four times the range (20 meters / 65 feet) of earlier Bluetooth versions. On MacOS you can of course use the integrated Bluetooth functionality, but by adding WIDIFLEX USB you will reduce the operating system’s minimum latency from 7.5 ms down to 3 ms.WIDIFLEX USB has advanced wireless connectivity for Auto-Pairing with WIDIFLEX. Pairing other devices is equally easy when you use the WIDI app for iOS and Android (free download in the app stores). You can also use it to create and manage WIDI groups of up to 5 Bluetooth MIDI devices. Your settings are memorized, so next time you start your system all your connections are automatically re-established. Plug in and go: Plug WIDIFLEX USB into your computer’s USB connector and enjoy ultra-low latency Bluetooth MIDI without having to upgrade your PC, tablet or smartphone. You won’t even need to install custom drivers, as WIDIFLEX USB is USB-class-compliant. It uses the operating system’s built-in MIDI driver. Simply plug it in and WIDIFLEX USB will become available as a new MIDI port in your DAW software!If you use WIDIFLEX to connect your MIDI devices, simply plug them into their MIDI sockets and they will auto-connect to WIDIFLEX USB by default. This also works with BLE MIDI devices, eg. a Keytar. To set up, edit and manage those connections, you can use the free WIDI app for iOS and Android.Supported Operating Systems: WIDIFLEX USB is compatible with all current versions of major operating systems, including Mac OS, iOS, Windows, Android, Chrome OS and Linux.  KEY FEATURES:• Bluetooth 5: Secure connection for live & stage with 2x the speed and 4x the range of earlier Bluetooth versions. • SCA Technology: Unique Smart Connectivity Algorithms for optimized WIDI performance • Ultra-low 3 ms latency: ground breaking latency reduction • Automatic Pairing: Instant setup • WIDI Groups: Up to 5 devices • MIDI Clock and SysEx: Transmission of all MIDI messages over Bluetooth including MPE • Free iOS/Android WIDI App: Use the CME “WIDI App” to manage your settings and groups easily  • No external power: 5V via USBCREATE WIDI GROUPSSet up WIDI groups of up to 5 Bluetooth MIDI devices with one central WIDI device and up to 4 peripherals over 16 MIDI channels. You can easily do this via the free WIDI app for iOS and Android, or with the group auto-learn mode. The WIDI app also lets you store setups for instant recall.CREATE FIXED PAIRSYou can create fixed pairs when working with multiple wireless MIDI connections at once, and run multiple groups with automatic pairing from default memory. So when you plug your WIDI units back in, these connections will be restored automatically every time.ABOUT WIDIThe current WIDI products are Bluetooth 5 compatible and comply with the specification for MIDI over Bluetooth by the MMA. The specification for MIDI over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE-MIDI) is based on Apple’s implementation (released in iOS 8 and OS X 10.10), so that products from early adopters remain compatible with the industry standard. WIDI includes a collection of smart algorithms like Adaptive Frequency Hopping to always optimize the performance by selecting the best performing frequency at a given distance between devices. With only 3 ms, the latency between connected WIDI products is extremely low: MIDI only transmits data at a standard speed 31.25 kbit per second via cable – and WIDI products using Bluetooth 5 go up to 400 kb/sec. WIDI products are 100% MIDI compatible and transmit all MIDI messages over Bluetooth, including MIDI clock, long SysEX and MPE. They provide full bidirectional transmission and reception with dual role automation as both, central and peripheral.

WIDIFLEX – NO MORE MIDI CABLES Add wireless Bluetooth BLE MIDI to standard MIDI devicesWIDIFLEX is a set of two MIDI DIN plugs, with all Bluetooth functionality built into the larger plug that connects to your gear’s MIDI Out socket. You won’t even need to worry about external power: WIDIFLEX is powered from your gear’s MIDI Out socket! Plug in and go: All you need to do is to plug WIDIFLEX into your MIDI gear’s MIDI DIN sockets. The large plug goes into the devices’s MIDI Out, the small detachable one into the MIDI In.For a direct MIDI-to-MIDI connection, simply plug a second WIDIFLEX set into the gear you want to connect with. Automatic Pairing will auto-connect both devices, and you are good to go with full bi-directional transmission of all MIDI data, including MIDI Clock and MPE.For a Computer-to-MIDI with current Mac OS computers or iOS, you can pair WIDIFLEX with their built-in Bluetooth right away. On Windows, you might need to add a WIDIFLEX USB: Once plugged in, it auto-connnects to your WIDIFLEX, and the new MIDI port becomes visible in your DAW.Bluetooth (BLE) to MIDI connections are also supported. So with WIDIFLEX, you can pair bluetooth MIDI controllers with your stage piano or synthesizer and play them from the front of the stage!Connect up to 5 MIDI devices: But WIDIFLEX can do a lot more than just provide one wireless MIDI connection via Bluetooth: Create multiple fixed pairs and also WIDI groups of up to 5 devices, as shown further below.  KEY FEATURES:Bluetooth 5: Secure connection for live & stage with 2x the speed and 4x the range of earlier Bluetooth versions.SCA Technology: Unique Smart Connectivity Algorithms for optimized WIDI performanceUltra-low 3 ms latency: ground breaking latency reductionAutomatic Pairing: Instant setupWIDI Groups: Up to 5 devicesMIDI Clock and SysEx: Transmission of all MIDI messages over Bluetooth including MPEFree iOS/Android WIDI App: Use the CME “WIDI App” to manage your settings and groups easily  No external power: Supports 5V and 3.3V via MIDI Out DinCREATE WIDI GROUPSSet up WIDI groups of up to 5 Bluetooth MIDI devices with one central WIDI device and up to 4 peripherals over 16 MIDI channels.

Paired with the included Nektarine 2.0 software, AURA becomes a plugin control powerhouse for VST, VST3 and AU plugins. Whether working a single multi-sound drum plugin or hosting a comprehensive kit using multiple plugins, setting AURA’s pads up is fast and intuitive, with real-time auditioning. Nektarine can host up to 16 different instrument-plugins simultaneously, so that each of AURA’s pads can play its own plugin. Any pad can be re-routed to a new plugin by creating a plugin slot and loading a patch or plugin directly from AURA’s browser. Pad assignments are saved as part of a DAW project/song or a Nektarine Multi-Patch for instant recall. AURA’s ‘Plugin’ mode provides instant control of hosted instrument plugin parameters. When programming drum sounds, quick access to key parameters such as pitch, decay or level is essential. Nektarine makes short work of this by auto-selecting the relevant parameters for control with AURA’s 8 rotary pots based on the last triggered pad. Nektar plugin maps ensure that even plugins with thousands of parameters can be controlled seamlessly. Nektarine 2.0 provides 4 FX insert slots per hosted instrument plugin for up to 64 insert effect plugins per Nektarine instance. Dedicated AURA ‘FX’ buttons enable selection and control of hosted effects plugins. Each Nektarine instance has another 4 global send effects slots. Their send levels are controlled for each instrument plugin from AURA’s mixer page. Other mixer page controls are volume, pan and mute/solo for each plugin slot. Nektarine’s Browser is designed to manage thousands of patches with features like customizable tags and sorting tools, with full control from AURA. Browser settings are independent for every instrument and effect plugin slot. They are stored with a Nektarine Multi-Patch or even a DAW project/song, along with all other settings. Nektarine can be run in any DAW hosting AAX, AU, VST or VST3 plugins or as a standalone application in Windows and Apple OSX. PAD REPEAT: AURA’s on-board pad repeat engine is directly accessible, featuring a dedicated on/off button and settings menu. Using pad pressure to control velocity while changing repeat rates with the RGB LED buttons, makes it a great tool for creating dynamic rolls. The Repeat engine is highly customizable, parameters include Repeat Rate, Gate, Accent Interval, Accent Velocity Offset, Swing, Trigger Mode and Clock Source. HARDWARE STEP SEQUENCER: On pressing AURA’s ‘SEQ’ button, the 16 LED buttons below the pots become the much loved, classic 16-step programming interface. 16 patterns (one per pad) with 4 parts (comprising of up to 16 steps each) add up to a total of 64 steps. This provides a lot of flexibility for inspired beat creation. A set of patterns can be saved in one of AURA’s 16 Collections. AURA’s sequencer is all about interaction and performance: Parts may be triggered in any combination at any time. Each pattern, and even each part in a pattern, can have a different length – massively simplifying the creation of interesting poly-rhythms. Many of the editing features go all the way down to step level and include play rate, velocity, accent, gate and swing. Internal and external clock modes ensure perfect sync. The sequencer may also be used stand-alone for MIDI instruments connected to AURA’s external MIDI Out. DAW INTEGRATION: The dedicated ‘DAW’ button assigns AURA’s surface to take control of many popular DAWs, offering Nektar DAW integration features such as extended transport control, track selection, project navigation and more. Nektar DAW Integration software is included for Ableton Live Suite, Bitwig, Cubase, Digital Performer, Garageband, Logic, Nuendo, Reaper, Reason, Studio One and Sonar/Cakewalk. 7 transport buttons are otherwise fully MIDI assignable, including MMC commands, and can be used to set up transport control for any software not supported by Nektar DAW integration. MIDI PROGRAMMABILITY: AURA is designed for control of Nektarine, but it can also be used as a self-contained programmable USB MIDI pad controller in ‘Internal’ mode. It connects with hard- and software via USB or the MIDI output jack. 16 presets store pad and control assignments for use for the 16 pads, 8 pots, 7 switches and 2 foot switch connections.
