CME Introduces Low Jitter Wireless MIDI

CME has announced the release of WIDI firmware v2.6.0, a major update that significantly improves timing stability in wireless MIDI applications. They say that with this update, WIDI achieves sub-1 millisecond jitter in WIDI-to-WIDI connections, setting a new benchmark for wireless MIDI performance.

In addition, grouped connections benefit from up to 60% lower latency, delivering a more stable and reliable experience in complex setups. The company says that, over the past six years, WIDI has become one of the most widely adopted wireless MIDI solutions, with more than 250,000 devices in use worldwide. The platform is used across live performance, studio production, education, and mobile music creation.

CEO Zhao Yitian told us, "Wireless MIDI has always been about removing barriers without compromising performance. This progress is the result of long-term engineering focus, combined with real-world feedback from musicians. It sets a new reference point for what wireless performance can be."
