MidiWrist Unleashed

Product Description

MidiWrist Unleashed

MidiWrist Unleashed turns your Apple Watch into a standalone MIDI controller that directly connects to any advertised Bluetooth LE MIDI device, without the need of your iPhone or any other proxy.

The tactile feel of the digital crown combined with haptic feedback, gives you control over any MIDI device by touching your wrist, even when you’re not looking.

MidiWrist Unleashed is completely configurable with knobs, buttons, motion, trigger thresholds, XY pad, scrubbing, transport, programs, controller pages, presets, MIDI learn, colors and labels, and much more.


How It’s Innovative

MidiWrist Unleashed is the only MIDI controller that allows the Apple Watch to directly connect to a Bluetooth LE MIDI device without using another device, like a phone, as an intermediary. This provides a low-latency completely configurable MIDI controller that is always with you.

Using the real-time motion data from the Apple Watch also enables intuitive continuous gestural control and combined with accelerometer trigger thresholds allows for natural behaviors like finger control your devices.
