TIE 1i1o-e Bluetooth MIDI Adapter

For the price it works well.I found a little bit of lag when playing the keyboard but that could just be my PC.

I use this to distribute midi clock to my synth's. One in and 4 out selected by front panel button. Needs to be reset each time pc powers down and removes usb link. Not a big deal if the unit is handy but not fit and forget.

Works well so far. Using it with an iPad Pro with lightening to USB 3 adapter (cck) and an old Yamaha P-80 Electric piano. It does not require external power to the TIE adapter with this set up. No dropped notes. Cables are a little thin but fine. Was warned against cheap cables but this one has a good cost/quality balance as seems to function very well. I bought a Warehouse deal one as although the packaging was damaged etc it was arriving much sooner than the regular new one would (several weeks) and was a little cheaper at under £10. Was worried that it might be a broken returned item but works fine.

At first this didn't work with Garage Band when using it to talk to and from external kit, I could only get it to work as a midi input... Then I found out that Garage Band doesn't support this kind of working. The device worked perfectly with Cubase first go.I think the instructions are slightly wrong in that mine has a blue power light, not red... but hey, all in all pretty good.

I'm using it with Ableton Live Lite 9 and a good quality Technics keyboard. There's barely any latency so this is a great way to compose on the laptop. I saw one bad review about cable termination so I've checked mine carefully: there are no wires hanging out. I think this is going to last me years and give me great fun - all for about a tenner!Connecting the MIDI cables immediately causes an annoying buzz in my laptop's audio. It's OK if I unplug the mains adaptor and run on battery, so this os some kind of earthing fault. A MIDI interface should have a very high level of isolation between devices so this should not happen at all. I wonder whether they cut corners in the design and skipped the opto-isolator.

Originally got a normal cheap midi usb connector, used with most things, but wouldn't work transfering Sysex files to my Volca Fm. Saw on a review page someone waa successful with this cable. Very pleased!

I bought this product so I could have a separate MIDI in/out for each of my 4 rack mount synthesizers - particularly for sending System Exclusive commands so I can tweak sounds in real time, and doing bulk dumps and bulk loads of patches over MIDI. I'm running Reaper 6 on Windows 10.I connected the unit up, so each synthesizer had its own MIDI in/out, fired up Reaper, and went into the MIDI hardware settings so that Reaper recognised the MIDI inputs and outputs for the new device. So far, so good.Next job was to test that everything was working. Output 1 was working OK, and I was hearing sound. However, outputs 2, 3 and 4 would cause each respective synthesizer to show a MIDI data error, and not play anything.Being the geek that I am, I thought that I'd fire up MIDI-OX to analyse the MIDI data going out from Reaper to ensure that the note on messages were going to the correct output. However, MIDI-OX was not able to open the MIDI output - turns out that the driver for this only allows the interface to be open in one application at once. That's useless for me - as I want Reaper open so that I can map a keyboard connected to a different MIDI interface to a synth module connected to the TIE 4i4o so I can play the keyboard into Reaper and hear the synth module make sound, while tweaking the sound via System Exclusive in another application. The MIDI interfaces for my Roland MX-1 and even my Creative SoundBlaster allow this - so goodness knows why the driver for the TIE 4i4o does not.This product is going back ASAP, and I'm going to hunt down an M-AUDIO Midisport 4 instead. At least that should actually have a chance of working!

Well priced. This product is cheaper than other brands like the M-Audio but has the same functions.I am using this with the Korg Volca FM to send Sysex data from my Mac and iPad. This product works with both. It also has no hanging notes, which every cheap USB MIDI cable does. It also successfully sends Sysex data, which cheaper products also do not.Sysex capabilities seem to be a completely hidden function among USB MIDI cables, no products state whether they do or don't have it. This one thankfully does.I'd 100% recommend just getting this product instead of faffing around with cheap ones and never having a good experience with them.
