Hey everyone, I had a random idea and was curious as to what you guys thought about it.
My idea is to create a lowcost Wireless MIDI system that is designed to work with practically any MIDI device. The applications of such a device would be to allow you to run your MIDI controller from anywhere on stage with zero MIDI cabling.
From my intial research I could offer two different levels. The "base" system would offer 300 ft of range and the "pro" level would allow up to 1 mile range.
Each system uses its own PAN (Personal Area Network) so every unit would be interference free allowing multiple wireless system to be ran at the same time. The system would also allow Mesh Networking allowing you to use two seperate wireless controllers to run one midi device and vise-versa. The options are really up to your imagination.
If it was worth it I could even add phantom power capabilities which would be good for elimiating power supplies.
Some back of the napkin calculations look like the base system would run $200 and the pro version coming in at $275.
Really I am just looking for ideas/suggestions. Feel free to shoot me down if you think its dumb!!
Also each wireless unit is about the size of a large lighter. Should be small enough to be easily attached to your controller!
Attached is a concept
