M-Audio MidAir

[Paj]

My keyboardist used an M-Audio MidAir (wireless MIDI) with his remote keyboard last week. Some initial thoughts:

(1) Don't open the box right before a gig and expect to get it going. The battery compartment markings and directions in general are not user friendly. M-Audio claims 20 hours continuous use for two AA batteries.

(2) Have a thin metal paper-clip handy to reset the recessed seek/setup button.

(3) The claimed 30-ft operating range is a little conservative.

(4) When you do go beyond the operating range, the system resets MIDI volume to 127.

(5) All in all, he had a blast being wireless. So far, it's a keeper.
