Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bluetooth LE?

Bluetooth Low Energy, also known as Bluetooth LE or Bluetooth Smart, is a means to wirelessly link electronic devices. Bluetooth LE consumes a lesser amount of power than older iterations of Bluetooth.

Can I use this with my Windows computer?

Yes, but it can only be connected via wired USB connection. Transferring MIDI via Bluetooth LE is not officially supported. Although workarounds do exist, latency is typically a factor that adversely affects workflow.

Is a driver required to connect this device to my computer?

No! This device is class compliant with both MacOS and iOS devices.

How can I tell if my computer running MacOS has Bluetooth LE?

Click the Apple symbol in your taskbar.
Select About This Mac.
Click on the More Info...
Click on theS ystem Report...
Select Bluetooth from the sidebar on the left, underneath "Hardware."
Scan down the list of information until you find LMP Version.

If your Mac is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0, LMP Version will say 0x6. Anything lower than that is an older version of Bluetooth.

What if my iOS app does not support Bluetooth MIDI?

Many of the iOS synth and audio apps that you love may not yet support Bluetooth MIDI and may not offer any options to select input from your LPK25 Wireless. No problem! There are a few MIDI utility apps, such as midimittr that will accept the connection and route it to your favorite apps.

Wait! What if I still have more questions?
