The Yamaha Bluetooth MIDI adapters, MD-BT01 and UD-BT01, connect synthesizers, keyboards and electronic drum kits to Mac computers and iOS devices. They send and receive MIDI data over Bluetooth LE and do not require batteries. The UD-BT01 is for USB-to-host computer MIDI connectivity and the MD-BT01 (shown) is designed for instruments with traditional 5-pin DIN jack MIDI in/out ports.
Essentially these are both plug-and-play systems for on-the-spot setups to get MIDI data back and forth instantly from instruments to computers or other instruments.
Both the Yamaha UD-BT01 and MD-BT01 sell for $79.99 each.
