Perfect Bluetooth MIDI: An open-source utility bridging BLE MIDI keyboards to Windows MIDI Services
By

Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
Erwin built a free open-source utility called "Perfect Bluetooth MIDI for Windows" that bridges Bluetooth LE MIDI keyboards into the Windows MIDI Services stack. The project was born from his frustration when his Roland FP-90X piano's Bluetooth MIDI didn't work properly with Windows 11 due to three independent bugs. The utility allows any DAW or Web MIDI app to use Bluetooth MIDI keyboards as if they were wired.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledI bought a Roland FP-90X piano partly because it had Bluetooth MIDI.
On my Windows 11 PC, pairing succeeded, but my DAW couldn't see the keyboard, and notes I sent from the PC never made the piano sing.
After a regrettable number of evenings, I'd separated this into three independent bugs stacked on top of each other.
