Re: Wireless MIDI Adapter Questions

2008-03-08 by uhhmmmmmmmmmm

Hi Spencer, are both halves of the WIDI-X8 identical or do they have 
different plug configurations?  Do both sides have usb capability and 
a power transformer for flexibility?  I couldn't tell from their web 
site.

If both sides are the same, then I'd be willing to buy the WIDI-X8 
and 2 WIDI-XU interfaces and split them into 2 sets.

Anyone want half of a WIDI-X8 and a WIDI-XU?  It will cost $165 
shipped.

Email me offline if interested.

the best solution is to get a WIDI-XU dongle and use that on the 
notebook computer. You can buy a WIDI-X8 pair and share it with 
another piano owner and each buy one XU.
