I just recently opened the box of my newly ordered Bluetooth MIDI 4btn Foot Controller, bought especially to use with VSTLive. Opening VSTLive willing to add new device to MIDI I/O’s.
Can’t see it appearing
After Googling, there was a quick video, showing how to add a Korg BT MIDI controller to Cubase. The key was, "Use Device “WinRT MIDI” needs to be ticked. As soon as clicking to it, the new BT MIDI Ctrl appeared and started working with Cubase.
Hi @musicullum! Oh, I see
I will try to figure out then what to do now (it’s not a Korg one, it’s a 4 btn foot ctrl, I bought to use it for play, next, mute, whatever),
Do you think BT MIDI (WinRT API?) will be added later?
Has anything changed in the meantime regarding the support of MIDI via Bluetooth? We are considering using the WIDI devices (Master/Jack) from CME, but MIDI via Bluetooth is not currently supported. Is this feature on the to-do list?
I use CME WIDI with Windows and MacOS without any issues - but I do plug a WIDI uHost into the PC and bypass the onboard Bluetooth. It then appears as a MIDI device in VL.
I did play with using the PC’s onboard BT but Windows has a habit of forgetting connections hence the uHost.
If you have a free MIDI port, try to use CME WIDI. It connects fine with the Korg Controller and you have the adavantage to turn the controller on/off whenever you like to save battery life and VL has no problem, as the CME WIDI is still connected. And you’re independent from the OS you use.
