What a day yesterday!
Although we made a minor mistake with the communication of our "round latency", it turned out to be the best day of the launch of WIDI Master in terms of interaction and registrations.
To explain. We had communicated a "round latency of 10-15ms".
When we say “a round latency of 10-15 ms.” for WIDI Master, we consider it a maximum when working with all other existing products. If you use 2 WIDI Masters directly, since we implemented both master and slave firmware, you will get much less latency than the reference (10-15ms). That is because you do not need to add extra latency from computer OS and iOS. In addition, you can also pair WIDI Master with any other BLE MIDI adapters or controllers directly.
So we had to set the record straight with all the forums and MIDI enthousiasts in the world to explain even better what we mean if we say:
With WIDI Master you do not need to worry about latency! Our Xkey Air and WIDI BUD have been used by professional musicians worldwide. The WIDI Master and the future WIDI Family are the successors of these two. It will only get better!
That said we received also another really interesting question from on of our WIDI Tribe members. Keep asking those questions. Keep bringing your concerns and ideas to us. Keep providing feedback!
We are in an early stage of development. We are seeking 1,000 registrants to move to the production stage.
We have reached 88% in the first 5 days of this challenge!
Anyway, the question we received was about our automatic pairing.
What happens if I have four (4) WIDI Masters to connect two keyboards with two synths when you say they pair automatically? Do they interfere each other? Do they remember their pairing?
When using multiple WIDI Masters you pair them ones manually and set them to remember the connection to automatically pair in the future.
How cool is that when setting up multiple devices on tour?
We've done it before with WIDI Plus and WIDI BUD. WIDI plus is our software that can update firmware by air. It can be used to set and save specific pairing connections so it is done automatically afterwards.
Besides ultra low latency, automatic pairing is another uniques factor of WIDI Master. In the next post we will discuss another feature. It will be about the secure connection and automatic panic mode!
Last but not least we just recieved the news that WIDI Master has been featured on
