My NAMM highlight: Yamaha MD-BT01
How cool is that?
Comments
Very cool indeed.
About as cool as the quicco mi.1
I wonder if Yamaha bought them, or if they've got to pay to use the patent
I know. But the mi.1 is not available here in Germany. And shipping costs from USA are inacceptable expensive. Yamaha has a international distribution. That's a big advantage for me.
Pretty cool! They have a USB version too.
What is the latency on these BT adapters? Is it acceptable for live playing (vs just entering notes into a DAW)?
Confirmed. We have tested both Yamaha wireless adapters (and will support them with Cubasis soon) and indeed, these are great little devices.
Best,
Lars
I don't know exact numbers on BTLE latency, but I've been using it for some time with my Miselu C.24 and have been very pleased with the latency on that. It might be a different matter if the midi stream is very dense, but I haven't been able to test that, since I only play with two fingers
I think I read somewhere that the engineer who designed the im1 used to work for Yamaha. I ordered one (im1) direct from Quicco sound in Japan. It took a couple of weeks to arrive but the cost of postage was only a few £s.
USB version:

Looks like the USB version needs external power which is a little less convenient. The Midi DIN version looks to be powered by the Midi socket.
A keyboard with a MIDI DIN port almost inevitably needs to be connected to power somehow. Since a USB MIDI device can usually be bus-powered via USB, you still end up needing one power cable for either solution.
Hi All I just purchashed this, really nice looking but unfortunately iOS 9.2.1 is not detecting this on Bluetooth search, tried with both iPad pro and iPhone 6. Resetting network settings doesn't solve the issue. My Windows devices, Windows 8.1 and 10 can find the device on Bluetooth search so I guess there's an issue with iOS 9.2.1. Anyone experiencing this too and how can I get this solved?
You need to activate the connection with an app with explicit support fot BT MIDI. Gadget will do but also Yamaha Synth Book, which is free. After that you will be able to see the connection undér BT settings. Beware of the IK Multimedia apps, like Sampletank. They not only does not support BT MIDI but will disconnect them.
Have you tried midimitr
I got myself the USB version UD-BT01. It works with Korg nano series devices, tecontrol breath controller, iRig keys and brain Jr. What doesn't work very unfortunately is the KMI 12 Step, M-Audio Radium and cmc pd (which is weird because it's actually made and abandoned by Yamaha). And it's not possible to connect multiple devices through a hub so it's one device per bt thing...
Hi Owel - it won't recognise it when you switch on your Bluetooth. Turn on Cubasis, hit setup and MIDI. Click the Host button and it should find it and detect it. I am sending my MD-BT01 back to Bonners Music tomorrow - the latency is dreadful. No problem triggering my Motif XF8 from the Ipad Pro, but vice versa is impossible. I think I'll just stick with IC Pro controlling Cubase sat in front of my keyboard for ease. I hope the USB version is a little quicker!
There is definitely some latency in the USB version too. Maybe less but I don't know.
Yamaha MD-BT01 vs Quicco mi.1, what do you guys reckon?
Bump!
This thread is pretty high in Google for md bt01 vs Mi.1
From what I can see,I think the MI.1 looks favorable: it's been around longer, is now in firmware v3 and it's a lot smaller.
But: the Yammie is from a big name, second to market might skip bleeding edge child diseases.
From the MI.1 FAQ i read that the latency is 8.4ms and that yes: the channel gets worse when it gets filled up.
Anybody have or tried both?
Hi @buis, which one did you finally get? I'm having the same question now...
Anyone have any experience with the Puc+?

With the Puc+ you can use both USB MIDI controllers and 5-pin DIN MIDI controllers.
I have the Yamaha MD-BT01; and it works great!
I sold my Yamaha UD-BT01 because it didn't work with everything I wanted it for and I found latency too high.
