Would this CME Wireless MIDI work with the Fantom G?

11 Jun 2025, 07:47

Having purchased a Fantom G...again, I completely forgot that is was not class compliant and so would require USB drivers.

I am running a Mac Mini M4 so obviously there are not going to be any drivers available. I could go into an Audio/MIDI interface, but I really wanted to avoid extra cables and yet another bit of clutter on my desk.

So I am wondering if this CME Widi Master device would work? It connects via low-latency Bluetooth. Has anyone here tried it?

Tried SK7 Bluetooth MIDI with AX-Synth, Fantom-06 and King Korg Neo and it worked without any hustle so my guess is CME version would work even better.

The USB interface needs drivers, not the MIDI ports.
DIN MIDI is a standard that always works. You only need special software for SYS EX messages that are company and model specific and implement special features of an instrument.
MIDi over USB needs drivers though as does AD/DA streaming using the USB port.
So everything that uses the DIN MIDI port of the Fantom G works.
