The
midiBeam v2
from
Panda Audio
is a wireless transmission system for MIDI data with transmit and receive unit. At a distance of up to 250 meters (at open air events) the system reliably transmits all incoming and outgoing MIDI data. The RX02 receiver unit is USB-powered and also has MIDI inputs and outputs as a second data path that can be merged in parallel to wireless transmission. The TX02 transmitter unit is powered by three AAA batteries.
The software has also been improved: among other things, there is now a merge function that allows the connection of a second MIDI source to the receiver unit and then processes both together. It is also possible to reduce the amount of data transmitted, e.g. to prevent older synthesizers from spinning. With the web-based configurator you get access to all relevant settings of the midiBeam v2.
This is a great device for someone like me who plays a wind controller - light enough to attach to the instrument with no noticeable increase in weight, it is liberating! ie using the midiBeam, I'm free to carry on playing whilst moving around the studio - so in that sense, it's great but - from time to time I find I do get 'stuck notes' (notes which once begun are never switched off) - in my case, the 'panic' button on my software soon unsticks the note - interrupts the flow of what you're playing, though, and definitely not something you want happening during a live performance, so best to go back to hard-wire link-up in that case - I had a midiBeam v1 and it had the same fault, which at the time I began to find more and more stressful - and so I sold it - bought this in hopes that v2 would not have the drawback but no such luck - still, you do feel quite free playing with the midiBeam attached, so I'll probably stick with it - ps this might be a fault more in evidence with wind controllers than with other midi instruments, I couldn't say - neatly made and not a bad price so - make your own mind up . . .
Hi this is the fourth unit I have purchased from your great music store and I have been delighted with the results from every one of them. I have used these midi Beam mostly for midi accordions and also some midi keyboards, the results have always been first class. Many thanks to your music store for excellent first class service in every way. Morris Grant Scotland UK.
