WiDig BLE on Windows Without the Widi Bud Adapter

It is possible to use a WiDig configured in Standalone mode to receive BLE MIDI data on a Windows 10 computer with a built in BLE interface (most modern laptops, for example) without the Widi Bud adapter. However, it must be configured beforehand using EditorX.

You will need:

- A WiDig configured in Standalone mode, and USB power source

- loopMIDI virtual MIDI application

- MIDIBerry BLE to MIDI bridge application

Also, we need to route the BLE MIDi port to a virtual MIDI port, so loopMIDI

Pairing the WiDig

Go to system Settings->Bluetooth & Other Devices, and click on add:

Then, select the WiDig device:

Connect to the device (If it fails once, try again and eventually it should connect):

Make sure loopMIDI is running and there is at least one virtual port available:

Finally, open MIDIBerry and select the WiDig as input, and the "MIDI" virtual device as output.

Now, you will be able to access WiDig sensor data from any MIDI application via the virtual loopMIDI port!
