Please refer to the appendix <MIDI Route>.

11.1 Searching for a MIDI device

When the UF v2 product is turned on, the WIDI-EK will automatically find another free WIDI device and establish the radio communication. To search another WIDI device again, please press the【WIDI SEARCH】button in the front panel. A “Free WIDI devce” is an available WIDI device that is not in use with another one.

11.3 Setting Frequency

11.4 Selecting a radio Channel

The WIDI-EK system supports 64 radio channels. You can use up to 32 pairs of WIDI devices at the same place, and each pair use a exclusive channel. You can select the radio channel to make your UF v2 product work at the same radio channel with another WIDI device. Operation：【SHIFT】ÖA#3【WIDI Channel】Ö【Set value】Ö【ENTER】 Default value：1 Value range：1-64(F0 00 20 63 00 07 01 02 10 nn F7)nn=00H-40H Please make sure the same pair of WIDI devices use the same radio channel, and different parts use different channels for proper communication.

Up to 32 pairs of WIDI devices can be use at the same place. When many pairs of the WIDI devices are used at the same place, please keep the channel settings within 1-32 for best communication quality. Please try your best to avoid obstacles or interference. In case of the following events, the WIDI-EK will automatically send “All Notes Off” and “All Sound Off” to stop the sound module: poor signal with data loss; the transmitter is switched off; radio channel is changed.
