Yamaha UD-BT01 Bluetooth Wireless MIDI Adaptor
The Yamaha UD-BT01 is a compact Bluetooth wireless MIDI adaptor designed for compatible Yamaha digital pianos, keyboards and other musical instruments equipped with a USB TO HOST terminal.
By connecting the UD-BT01 to your instrument, MIDI data can be transmitted wirelessly between the instrument and a compatible iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac. This provides a convenient way to use supported music applications without having to connect your mobile device directly to the instrument with a cable.
The UD-BT01 uses Bluetooth Low Energy MIDI technology for wireless communication and supports Bluetooth 4.0 compatible devices. This makes it a useful accessory for controlling supported instrument functions, working with compatible music applications and transmitting MIDI performance data wirelessly.
The adaptor connects to the USB TO HOST terminal of your instrument using a USB cable. The UD-BT01 also requires an external USB AC adaptor for power. Once connected, Bluetooth MIDI can be enabled from within a compatible application on your iOS device or Mac.
Measuring just 45 x 12 x 40 mm and weighing only 10 g, the UD-BT01 is compact enough to become a discreet part of your keyboard setup. Compatibility varies between instruments and applications, so we recommend checking that your Yamaha instrument and chosen app support the UD-BT01 before purchasing.
