Yeah, works fine without any sort of interface. The whole point of Bluetooth MIDI is to *NOT* have to worry about an interface... I just paired my Korg Nanokey Studio to my MPC Live and it took like 2 seconds. I was immediately able to play the keys on my Live's TubeSynth, Bassline, and Electric.

Wow this came back up?

Well for me in my stu l simply take the uno usb plug it into my Live and bam! I have the Roland A30 midi keyboard , 76 keys. Being my MPC is close l can rock this way. For portable keys lm looking at another joint. Flat with floating keys and light weight. Im not into the wireless BT thing. Id rather be connected.

Hmm, I think I tried getting my ROLI Seaboard Block to connect, and it wouldn't. How is the latency? Noticeable?
