MidiWrist Unleashed available for beta testing
Hi everyone,
MidiWrist Unleashed is a standalone Apple Watch MIDI controller that directly communicates with Bluetooth LE MIDI devices, without the need for an iPhone. It's the successor to my original MidiWrist app (https://uwyn.com/midiwrist/) and finally delivers the features I tried to achieve many years ago.
I've started beta testing MidiWrist Unleashed, if you're interested and have an Apple Watch with watchOS 10 or later, and an iPhone to get the TestFlight invite, please send me your Apple ID in a direct message. I'll get you added.
Thanks for your help in testing!

That is incredible. Love it.
Made an account just to applaud and test this out, my watch has been gathering dust and this will breathe a lot of life into it!
Thank you! 🥰
Thanks for your interest, I added you to the TestFlight
Mind blowing idea! Impressed what’s you can achieve with your knowledge!
Thanks for your interest and encouragement!
Umm, I've actually not seen a reason to own an apple watch until now...
And I just ordered an S9. Damn it Geert, look what you gone and made me buy. 😂
@GeertBevin just DM’d - MidiWrist Unleashed is looking pretty sweet! 😻🎛🚀
Questions on Bluetooth LE devices and Apple. Would love to use this new app between devices but I found currently connecting 2 Apple devices by Bluetooth impossible.
Watch to ipad or Mac mini doesn’t seem to advertise one or the other for connecting? This problem been around for a while.
Anyone else have issues connecting between devices ?
I use CME WIDI devices UHost, Widibud, Widihost. Does having these sat in the Bluetooth cache affect connectivity even if they are not turned on ?
What device with Bluetooth LE are people testing with this new app?
On the Mac you need to launch Audio MIDI Setup, show the MIDI Studio and open Bluetooth configuration. There you can advertise your Mac and connect from the Watch. For the iPad, you need an app that is able to advertise itself as a BLE MIDI peripheral, AUM does this, all Moog synths have this too in their MIDI settings.
Hope that helps.
It's a pretty compelling use case!
The S9 is really cool, I also got one a few months ago when I figure out how to make the direct BLE connection from the Watch work on my S4.
Invite on its way, thanks for your interest! 🤟
Nice!
@GeertBevin this looks amazing, I’d love to try it, but would need to get a watch first. Do you know the oldest version of Apple Watch it will work on?
Thank you! It's working with my Series 4. MidiWrist Unleashed requires watchOS 10, so think the Series 4 is actually the oldest that would work.
Thanks for quick reply - I was researching concurrently, but good to have it confirmed by you. Off to eBay now. How long do you think the test flight beta will remain open for?
Probably for another week or so.
I love the idear. I could see my self using this 😄
Just did some more research, if you're getting a watch for this, maybe a Series 5 is the oldest to go for, because it has an always on display. This will keep things running more smoothly, otherwise when your display goes to sleep as you move your hand around, you might get more Bluetooth disconnections.
Yup it’s like inspector gadget midi style, MWU ain’t nothing to F with!
Actually it is, and controlling the octotrack crossfader with the crown of my watch is melting my ever loving mind in a wonderful way.
Received & thank you! 👌
Works well on initial test 😺. However, I can’t see a way to get program change to work like in the picture above, ie press a button to move up/down preset numbers, is this not possible on the beta?
It's the stepper panel, do you not see that in the list of panel, it should be towards the bottom when you scroll the list down.
🤟🥰🤟🥰🤟
My bad - i didn’t realise it was in Stepper - but that makes sense..This is gona be so much fun!! 💗🌈🎸
All good! FYI, you can rename any panel, also rearrange and delete them. You can also create any number of panel types and then edit the label and MIDI message for each control ... all on your watch!
Experimented with a lot of different devices and my Series 4 Watch, and it looks like I've managed to make the connection really reliable. So we're back to any watch that can run watchOS 10
