How do I connect the MD-BT01 to my iOS device and start sending MIDI data to a music app?
First, plug the MD-BT01 into your instrument's MIDI OUT port. Then, in your iOS music app, enable Bluetooth MIDI and select "Yamaha MD-BT01" from the available devices; no pairing is needed directly in the iOS Bluetooth settings.
Can I use the MD-BT01 to sync the clock between my hardware sequencer and a DAW on my computer wirelessly?

My MD-BT01 isn't being recognized by my iPad. What are some common troubleshooting steps I can take?
Ensure the MD-BT01 is securely connected to your instrument's MIDI OUT, that Bluetooth is enabled on your iPad, and that you're selecting the MD-BT01 from *within* your music app's MIDI settings, not the iOS Bluetooth settings. Also, try power cycling your instrument and the MD-BT01.
Does the MD-BT01 support MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) messages for transferring patches or firmware updates?
Yes, the MD-BT01 supports MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) messages, allowing you to transfer patches, sound banks, and even firmware updates wirelessly between your instrument and computer or mobile device, provided the app supports it.
Is there any noticeable latency when using the MD-BT01 for playing virtual instruments in real-time?
While the MD-BT01 offers low latency for Bluetooth MIDI, some latency is inherent in wireless connections. The actual latency experienced will depend on factors like the distance, interference, and the efficiency of the devices' Bluetooth implementations, but is generally suitable for playing most virtual instruments.
