Wireless MIDI Dongle
A World of WirlessCurrently more and more products are becoming wireless to save you from tangled cables, clutter and restricted distance. Wireless control is now a common must have feature for most products whilst remaining as reliable and high quality as a cable. Roland have kept up with the wireless evolution with their WM-1D wireless MIDI dongle.
If you're using a Windows computer, you’ll need the WM-1D Wireless MIDI Dongle to bring wireless MIDI into your setup. Simply plug it into an open USB port for smooth and responsive communication with any instrument or device in your WM wireless system.
Mac computers and iOS devices can communicate with a WM-series unit in Standard mode over Bluetooth MIDI. But if you need the benefits of Fast mode, or want to connect multiple computers wirelessly, just plug in a WM-1D.
Spark Your Creativity
More Room For CreativityMany situations can be solved with wireless MIDI. For example, you might want a clean and simple setup with just a MIDI keyboard and laptop, iPhone, or iPad. Alternatively, you may have a favorite MIDI controller set up a distance away from your DAW which would otherwise require a long cable.
You may just want the freedom to move around with a small keyboard or pad controller without any trip hazards. Wireless connectivity gives more room for your creativity without the inconvenience of wrapping and unwrapping long cables. Once you’ve experienced the freedom of the WM-1, you’ll never look back.
Low latency. High performance.
Instant ResponseThe main concern for musicians when it comes to wireless is the latency it might cause, making it extremely difficult for them to stay in time when there is a delay between hitting a note to hearing it.
Thankfully, the wireless technology found in the Roland WM-1D gives you an instant, and incredibly responsive playing experience. You wont notice any difference in sound or latency than a standard MIDI cable.
Warp Speed
Incredibly Fast CommunicationThe standard mode on the WM-1/WM-1D will cover most playing situations, timing-critical applications may benefit from even more speed.
Fast mode upgrades the transfer rate to 3 ms better than the internal speed of many hardware devices, giving you incredibly fast communication between another WM-1 or WM-1D.
