The developer website at www quicco co jp wireless midi interface mi 1 2 is down The app does not detect the device on any iPad or iPhone I own on 8 0 or 9 0 O S     WARNING Developer website down app does not work Abbrown

Bluetooth signal not showing up and software will not update to version 2     Really Everett0518

The new firmware with the Apple BLE MIDI support is great now both iOS and Mac OS X find and connect seamlessly to the device with no separate app necessary I m using with my old Roland RS 9 from across the room with no wires to trip over                     New firmware is great NSXFreddy

While the mi 1 hardware is near magical in its ease of use and simplicity the software component leaves a bit to be desired mainly any sort of instructions and explanations There is no onscreen or web help nor any manual provided withe hardware except for how to upgrade the firmware While several synths I own were up and running immediately others were not yet nowhere to go to ask why not I wrote to the developer apparently in Japan but had no response Their official website is no help either I really want to love this device and it sure is technologically sound and a great bargain but the developer MUST provide documentation and some sort of support and better customer relations Step it up Quicco         Lacking documentation and support noiseplayer

I am reviewing the hardware and the app as the app doesn t do anything without the hardware Keep in mind that this is only day one but I am impressed I ordered this on Amazpn Prime on Friday and had it by 2pm Sunday I set it up withing 10 mins using my 90 s vintage Yamaha WT11 which is an midi synth that I use with my Yamaha WX11 wind controller I used it to test varrious apps like MusicStudio Thumbjam and Magellan JR on my Iphone 6 plus I was worried about latency as with sound over Bluetooth it is like playing in Grand Canyon but with ear phones I didn t find latency and issue BTLE Thumbjam responded to wind control of vol and pitch bend as good as IOS midi apps can I did run into a problem with my BT7 battery power midi interface as it did not provide enough power I tried it with a M Audio usb interface and that had enought power so I think I can find a battery power midi interface to bump up the power I will contact tech support to see if they have any suggestions but I think I can find a fix for this issue Their web sit warned that it may not work on all equipment so I am not supprised to run into this I had tired the PUC wifi midi IOS interface but took it back as it keep losing connection and it was too difficult to reconnect I tried switching apps on and off and I did get it to lose connection but was very simple to reconnect It did not lose connection while playing but time will tell I also connected my Iphone to a bluetooth speaker at the same time that I had the BTLE connection going and it did work but the latency made that not a good solution for real time playing I would give it a 10 out of 10 as the company has made the set up very simple if you follow the directions and I am not one to do that often I read enough on the internet to make sure I followed every step This will not work on an Ipad 2 and I have an Iphone 5 that I will test it on but I expect the same results that I have on the Iphone 6 plus Using the app Apollo you can link both phones so you can trigger midi apps on both at the same time Not sue about latency until I test it                     This is a game changer mhoman
