Disklavier

Good evening, everyone.

Joan, Yamaha makes a Bluetooth MIDI adapter that should work with any Disklavier: MD-BT01. You can find it on the internet for $50.

Quite a number of iPhone and iPad MIDI apps have a feature for connecting to Bluetooth MIDI devices. The connection is established with a MIDI app, not at the System level. Any time the pairing is broken by powering off one end of the connection or the other, the connection must be re-established; it is not memorized in the manner of a BT connection to a speaker.

On the Mac, use the Audio MIDI Setup app to establish the BT MIDI connection. Audio MIDI Setup is found in Application : Utilities. It’s a bit of a nuisance to set up. Once established, any MIDI app should recognize it. Similar to the iOS BT MIDI connection, the connection is not memorized and reestablished automatically.

I am not sure what the state of BT MIDI is on Windows.

I see that there is a midi bluetooth device for the Pianostream app that is recommended for the Disklavier Mark IV.  I am wondering if this works with any other midi software on the Mac to play songs from my laptop to the piano directly via the bluetooth connection.
