Mark is correct, of course! Bluetooth MIDI and Bluetooth audio are two separate technologies. I corrected by original post and apologize for any confusion.2: This is going to get slightly confusing, but Genos 1 has no bluetooth capabilities whatsoever; Genos 2 *does* but not in the way you need for a page turner (bluetooth midi). The G2 only has bluetooth audio (in). So yes the Genos 2 has bluetooth, but not the kind of bluetooth connection you need, so you'd still need to get a midi to bluetooth adapter like the MDBT01 or the UDBT01. (5 pin midi vs USB B midi)Neither Genos1 or Genos2 implement Bluetooth MIDI from the factory, i.e., "Bluetooth MIDI not included". You can add an optional Bluetooth MIDI adapter to the MIDI ports, but that's a whole other can of worms. I recommend getting the built-in hardware working for you first.![;)]( "Wink")
I tried to explore the differences between Bluetooth MIDI and Bluetooth audio -- and it made my head hurt. I went back to watching football. Aren't standards wonderful? That's why we have so many of them!
Extra credit. My AirTurn BTS200 wants to rendezvous (pair) with a host. Yamaha Bluetooth MIDI adapters implement only the peripheral side (protocol). One might need a CME WIDI host adapter. As I said, a can of worms...
Have a good weekend, all -- pj
