Time Factor – Type B port USB converter to Bluetooth

[jodacrocker]

I want to know if it is possible to used a converter from USB Type B port to bluetooth, in order to connect the TimeFactor wireless to the tablet or celphone with H9 Software.

Someone have tried this?

Sorry, no.

To drive the Bluetooth requires a huge amount of software, which a product developed before Bluetooth existed does not have.

This will be a really good upgrade for the next SW release.

Eventide could sell the converter for bluetooth as accessory for StompBoxes.

Actually, if you want to use your TF as a Bluetooth LE peripheral, Yamaha makes/used to make a DIN plugin (MD-BT01) which should do it. Haven't tried it, however.

Look on eBay – there are lots of them. But, it does seem to be discontinued, which makes it a bit experimental.

You will also need to make sure that your unit supplies MIDI power – see post at top of Stompboxes column.

I look for Yamaha MD-BT01, but I can’t find this available.

I througth that Eventide needs to see the impact of Port Type B to Bluetooth converter.

This will take the Eventide stompboxes to the next level.
