CME april fools but in march ( original thread was "new bluetooth keystep pro clone" )
This CME keyboard looks quite promising for the price.

Edit: my mistake, I haven't seen the april fools mention in the CME wepbage.
Seems that they have a calendar issue.

A knock off of a knock off. Interesting.
Sorry, I just saw that it has already been mentioned by @AlmostAnonymous in this thread:
https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/45215/widi-from-cme#latest
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to ripoff the ripoff artists.
What are the odds that CME uses Berhinger chips and they still make money on the clone of a clone? Just asking?
Knocking off their own knockoffs with a dummy corporation propped up by Behringer? Now there's a player.
Considering the date of the next announcement, you may want to wait to see about this one.
April fools jokes are dumb enough on April 1st. But pretending you’re going to release something a lot of your customers might actually want as a joke (and to get a dig in at Behringer) and to miss the whole point of April fools by not actually announcing on the right day is even dumber.
Not as dumb as I’ll look if it’s not a bad joke though!
Companies shouldn’t do April fools jokes. The joke products are too often ‘better’ than their real ones!
I was wondering how long it would take to make someone go "hmmm"
Reminds me of when Drambo came out on April Fools 2020. I think an ABF user made an April Fool's thread for it, then it actually turned out to be true: https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/38018/drambo-is-out
It would be a nice surprise if it’s for real — at €79 with 4 streams of wireless midi and wireless charging as it has ‘no redundant ports’ i think I’d buy one. No ports. Not even for power. Cool.
Apple should take note. Ports are redundant.
This sounds plausible.
The CME announcement takes a dig at Behringer, both for copying and for chip availability. Would be a weird way to start a new relationship… but from the company that gave us the cork sniffer anything is possible… 🤷
The marketing seems to have changed since then to me. They've taken a couple of digs at themselves recently already. As a business move, the WIDI stuff would fit well with their products. It would be a bit strange, but it does seem plausible.
Haha.
Like Rock bands that do a quirky cover song, which ends up being their most popular track and ultimately defines their 20/30/40 year careers.
It's planned to be the real deal now.

A bluetooth MIDI keyboard? It’s ridiculous. Even a tiny amount of lag is noticeable. Just make it wired.
There’s no lag with Bluetooth midi, or at least it’s so tiny you don’t notice it. There are tons of BT MIDI keyboards around, including from CME.
Bluetooth audio has a delay because it has to compress and decompress the audio stream. MIDI just gets sent.
A wired connection operates at the speed of electricity. Bluetooth does not.
Not quite true. MIDI Is a very old standard and transmits serially at a very low speed. Early
Midi synths had very slow CPUs so midi speeds had to be slow for them to keep up.
MIDI data is sent at the same speed today as it was in the early 80s.
31 kbits/sec is well within Bluetooth capabilities.
Early Midi Sequencers had data thinning features to prevent the MIDI stream getting clogged and getting laggy when too much data was sent at once.
MIDI 1 is dog slow.
This is an excellent article on the speed limits of Bluetooth MIDI for anyone who's interested in facts and learning.

I didn't know that iOS and macOS both have hard limits on BT MIDI delays, because its not considered as high priority as Wi-Fi etc--which is probably for the best. I also learned that there's a BT MIDI box (from CME) that is faster, and can auto-connect to Bluetooth LE devices.
Apparently the minimum latency is 3ms, which is the time it takes sound to travel one meter. I expect even our most speedy-eared trolls won't notice that.
