In one of the first videos, Doug said that the Wi-Fi module in the device also supports bluetooth, and that they can activate it if necessary. And I stumbled upon an awesome reason to do this:
Great midi controller: good solid body, 2 expression pedals, bluetooth, fantastic flexibility, 300 hours of battery life. It will be very cool to connect this device without wires or additional receiver.
@MP_Mod Well, obviously I would like that. But again, it is nowhere mentioned and I even had a conversation about this with the Neural DSP Support. I wrote as a feedback/wishlist:
Itâs been noted a few times in the past year from NDSP and on various forums and someone posted screenshots of the internals as well indicating as such. As of current, BT or no BT, itâs not enabled or available. It would make sense as just about every Wi-Fi module available to date includes BT support.
I think you can easily solve with CME WIDI Master.
For monodirectional communication i think youâd use only one of the two dongles.
With two (o with a WIDI Jack) I controlled my QC with an iPadâŚ
Didnât try anything over USB other than audio inputâŚ
WIDI Master, WIDI Jack and WIIDI Host are different âflavoursâ of the same Midi-over-BT technology.
I agree100%. We would also greatly benefit the controller buttons having ability to control multiple on/off functions. Meaning, I would like to hit one switch and activate multiple switches ie compressor off with drives on.
Not sure if you sorted this out yet but a âwidi masterâ will do the trick. Costs about $55. You just plug it into the back of the cortex and it should auto connect to your airstep. Works great!
WIDI master does work, Iâve had one for a while now. But considering the QC has a BT radio on board users shouldnât have to buy one. Neural just needs to activate the radio.
