• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

MIDI Transmitter

There appears to be one and only one device available that can transmit MIDI data wirelessly. It's a product by M-Audio and has a transmitter and a receiver. However, it appears to be compatible with Macs, not PCs.

Has anyone worked with this unit? I need to find a way to send MIDI data to instruments (including an Allen organ) that are not connected to a laptop but may be able to receive MIDI data sent from a computer in the sound booth at the hall.

I do not know what type of computer is in the sound booth, as I had not considered an option of this type previously.

I haven't used the MidAir but the M-Audio website says that it is compatible with PC and Mac. But the drivers for the PC are only 32-bit.
Also note (if I understand it correctly) that one Midair unit can only handle one Midi device/instrument. If you want "a way to send MIDI data to instruments" I presume you need multiple MidAir units at $150US MSRP each.

Compatibility/Mutiple Instruments

Thanks, el_supremo, on the compatability question. I am not sure if the MidAir could only work with one instrument because presumably it can send on more than one channel. The instruments would be daisy-chained. The organ uses different channels for each of the three manuals, a fourth for the pedals and a fifth for what appears to be "performance information" that sets the pistons.
