MIDI is the language that was established to allow digital music instruments talk to each other. Getting this digital signal into the world of wireless and mobile devices has been tricky, but the PUC solves this problem.
The name pretty much describes it, a black puck-like unit, with an on/off button, a MIDI connection, and a USB port (to use instead of powering it by 2 AA batteries) A Wi-Fi display lights up to indicate if it’s working. Pretty simple.
Just power the unit up and connect it to a MIDI device, like a keyboard or drum machine, and it can connect to your Mac or iOS Device wirelessly via the included free app. No adjustments or any settings.
It retails at about $99, and it might seem hard to justify at first. But considering some MIDI devices don’t have a way to connect to an iOS device without any special cable, this can fill that need, wirelessly, and can connect to your desktop machine, as well.
