Pairing your Woovebox
After the pairing procedure for your particular operating system, your Woovebox can be used as a regular MIDI device within other applications, or can be managed through the Wooveconnect app.
Your host device's BLE radio needs to be BLE 4.0 compatible, and please make sure that your Woovebox is not already accidentally connected to some other device; it can only handle one connection at a time and will not be visible to any other devices while it is already connected.
Please make sure any Battery Saver mode that may interfere with Bluetooth is off (Android, iOS, and Windows Power Management).
The stability of your MIDI over BLE connection is heavily dependent the quality of the drivers and quality operating system's Bluetooth stack. Unfortunately this quality can be found lacking on various hardware/OS combinations from Microsoft, Google and Apple. If you require a rock solid plug & play MIDI over BLE solution that works on any machine, we recommend the WIDI Bud Pro solution by CME.
By far the easiest and most stable MIDI over BLE solution, is to use a WIDI Bud Pro USB adapter that was specifically designed to provide a rock-solid connection for musicians and performers.
Most modern Linux distros allow you to pair with your Woovebox, after which it can be used system-wide as an input and output MIDI device automatically.
MacOS users can use the built-in MIDI over BLE support.
Though likely to work on many systems, Windows 11 is not officially supported by Woovebox due to dependency on third party drivers, as Windows is the only operating system that does not natively expose MIDI over BLE devices to applications such as your browser.
Please use the Woovebox Wooveconnect app in the Google Play store. Woovebox Wooveconnect for Android works on Android 9+.
Most iOS software will detect your Woovebox. For any apps that don't however, you can use a utility app like Bluetooth MIDI Connect to connect your Woovebox to these apps.
