M-Audio has announced shipment of the new MidAir wireless USB MIDI system and MidAir 37 wireless keyboard controller. Combined with the MidAir 25 keyboard controller, these new additions round out a complete family of wireless products.
The MidAir wireless MIDI transmitter and receiver system allows users to wirelessly transmit data from any device that outputs MIDI—keyboards, drum machines, electronic drums and more. Users can simply plug the battery-powered transmitter into the MIDI Out port on their controller of choice and connect the receiver to the MIDI In port on the device they would like to control. The MidAir receiver also includes a USB port and functions as a class-compliant 1 x 1 MIDI interface for connecting to a computer.
The MidAir 37 allows users to take control of any standard software or MIDI instruments with a compact wireless keyboard. Packed with many of the same features as the Oxygen8 keyboard controller, the MidAir 37 boasts 37 velocity-sensitive keys, a three-digit LED display, nine MIDI-assignable faders, eight MIDI-assignable knobs, mod and pitch bend wheels, and sustain pedal input and button—all in a totally wireless design. The controller can be powered by standard batteries or the included 9V power supply.
With wireless technology from Frontier Design Group, all MidAir devices operate in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, enabling users to interface MIDI hardware and/or software at distances up to 30 feet with "the same feel and response as a wired connection" .
The MidAir wireless MIDI system is now shipping with an MSRP of $149.95 USD. The MidAir 37 is currently expected to ship mid-November, with an MSRP of $299.95 USD.
