MIDI out over bluetooth - possible on Windows?
I've read that this is doable on Mac, but what about on Windows? Or would I need to buy a dedicated USB -> Bluetooth MIDI adapter? I've got my iPad on an iTrack Dock now and I'd like to be able to send MIDI to it without having to take it out and swap everything around. Thanks!

I just found out that it is possible. It's a bit complicated today, I'm sure it will be much easier in a couple of months or years. You need Windows 10 with latest updates, MIDIberry from the Windows Store, and some kind of virtual MIDI port like loopMIDI. I'm not sure if BT 4.0+ (BT LE) is necessary, I guess it is.
Run MIDIberry and enable Bluetooth in Windows Settings. You may need to manually add the BT device you want to connect in Windows Settings. In MIDIberry, the new added device should be visible in both input and output lists. Select the device in the input list. Then comes the difficult part, selecting the virtual MIDI port in the output list. MIDIberry does give proper names to the virtual ports in the input list, but may not give proper names in the output list. You may see a dozen of ports there with names like "MIDI [0AB1A38D]". In such a case you have no other choice than to select one after the other of these obscure ports, until you find the right one.
Run a standalone synth or a DAW with a virtual MIDI port as input. Play the BT controller and select one after the other of those obscure MIDI ports in the MIDIberry output list until you hear a sound. I'm sure there will be an update for MIDIberry to solve that problem, or another Windows app that does list every virtual MIDI port with the correct name.
For sending BT MIDI from Windows to a device the setup should be easier because the virtual ports in MIDIberry are named. I haven't tested this yet. And right now I don't see an option for bi-directional MIDI connection via Bluetooth.
For such cases I think it's still better to use the usual wifi connection and rtpMIDI, which provides stable bi-directional connection. Bluetooth MIDI is generally for one-directional Bluetooth controllers. Today. This might change in the future.
My test was done with a rather cheap Windows tablet from 2014-2015 (x86 CPU), and a Korg Monologue with a Yamaha MD BT-01 attached to both MIDI ports. For owners of modern, expensive Windows Laptops and Flipbooks (or whatever they name those tablet-laptop devices) and Bluetooth KMI/Roli/etc. controllers, this is certainly good news. Maybe old news. For me it is new.
Damn dude, thanks for the reply so long after the fact!! This is potentially really good news. I'll look into it after work. Cheers!
This has a sort of message in a bottle thing about it.
