Wireless MIDI for a wireless world.
The way the world is today, you need the ability to make music anytime, anywhere, avoiding cable clutter if possible. And running wireless should be easy to set up and just as reliable and responsive as a cable. Be part of the wireless MIDI revolution with the Roland WM series, where your creativity has free rein.
Plug a WM-1 into a keyboard, drum machine or other hardware with standard MIDI I/O to communicate wirelessly with MIDI apps on an iOS device and Mac computer, even at the same time. Or connect multiple instruments and devices with multiple WM-1s or the WM-1D Wireless MIDI Dongle. In addition to MIDI note data, you can send MIDI sync for tempo, effects, LFOs, loops and more - all without connecting a single cable.
Unleash your creativity.
There are situations where wireless MIDI can really solve a problem. You may need a simple and straightforward setup, just with a MIDI keyboard and your laptop, iPhone or iPad. Or you have your favorite MIDI controller away from your DAW, and require long, impractical cables to fall into. Maybe you just want the freedom to move around as you please with a small keyboard or pad controller . Complicated setups kill creativity - and once you've tried Roland wireless MIDI, you won't go back.
Low latency. High performance.
For musicians, the downside of many wireless MIDI systems is latency - that is, the time it takes for you to hear a sound after you press a key or hit a drum pad. High latency makes it feel unnatural to play and you can never quite get the timing right. Our proprietary wireless technology in the WM Series delivers an instant, responsive experience just as if you were plugged in with a regular MIDI cable.
Warp speed.
While the standard mode of the WM-1/WM-1D handles most situations, timing-intensive applications will benefit from higher speed. Fast mode turbocharges the transfer rate to 3ms - better than the built-in speed of many hardware devices - and provides ultra-fast communication between an additional WM-1 or WM-1D.
WM-1D: Computer support and ultra-short latency.
If you use a Windows computer, the WM-1D Wireless MIDI Dongle is what you need to go wireless in your setup. Simply plug it into a USB port for constant and responsive communication with any instrument or device in your WM wireless system. Mac computers and iOS devices with a WM series device in Standard mode over Bluetooth MIDI. But if you need the advantages of Fast mode or want to connect several computers wirelessly, just insert a WD-1D.
