Re: I want to send wireless MIDI from a laptop's USB port.


CME WIDI really is quite good, I built one into my keytar and lasts ages on batteries (I have it powered by the keytar but on it's own batteries (AAx2) the receiver will last 15hrs+ easily), plus it's duplex so transmits midi in both ways. The m-audio unit was quickly discontinued and from the reviews I've seen is useless and only has a ~10M (30ft) range. The CME WIDI states 250ft and I reckon it could do it. It is 2.4Ghz but hasn't interfered or got interference for the many wifi networks around where I live.

In all fairness £150 (it's roughly £75 per transceiver on Thomann (the only place I've seen it)) it cheap for what you get.
