XVive MD-1 - Bluetooth 5 Digital Wireless MIDI System

XVIVE MD-1 – Bluetooth 5 Digital Wireless MIDI System

The XVIVE MD-1 is a wireless MIDI adapter that eliminates the hassle of 5-pin DIN cables, allowing you to transmit MIDI, SYSEX, and MIDI Clock messages over Bluetooth 5/BLE with ultra-low latency of just 3–6 ms. Connect the Main Adapter to the MIDI OUT for power and send the signal to the Sub Adapter on the MIDI IN via a 3.5 mm cable, or send/receive data from a BLE-MIDI device (iOS, macOS, Windows). It has an unobstructed range of up to 20 m and automatically pairs two units, facilitating point-to-point connections between synthesizers, controllers, effects modules, pedalboards, and DAWs without the need for additional drivers.
