Troubleshooting

MidAir is a professional-grade wireless MIDI system that has been tested under a wide variety of conditions. But in the event 
that  you  experience  difficulty  with  your  MidAir  system,  this  section  covers  some  common  issues  and  tips  to  remedy  these 
problems.

I’ve installed and set up all of the software correctly, but the MidAir receiver does not seem to be receiving any 
data from the transmitter.

<

   The first time you use your MidAir system, you may need to press the Wireless Connect buttons on the MidAir 

transmitter and receiver unit to allow the two units to establish a wireless link.  Once a wireless connection is 
established, the green Wireless Connect Status LEDs on the transmitter and receiver will illuminate, and you’re 
ready to go.

My MidAir transmitter’s wireless range seems limited.

<

   Certain  kinds  of  building  materials  and  household  items  (i.e.,  thick  walls,  concrete,  steel,  microwave  ovens, 

cordless phones, etc.) can reduce or block the transmitter’s 2.4GHz radio-frequency transmission to the receiver.  
For best results, place the receiver high above the ground in a location where it can be seen throughout the room.  
By minimizing the physical obstructions between the transmitter and the receiver, you will maximize the wireless 
range.

 

    If  you  have  a  microwave  oven  or  cordless  phone  within  10  feet  of  your  MidAir  transmitter  or 

receiver, try moving these items farther away to see if your wireless range improves.

I am using multiple MidAir products and my wireless keyboard seems to be linked to the wrong receiver.

<

   If you are using multiple wireless MIDI products, it may be possible to accidentally cross-link the wrong transmitter 

and  receiver  units.    To  resolve  this  issue,  simply  press  the  Wireless  Connect  button  on  each  transmitter  and 
receiver pair to allow the two units to establish a wireless link.  Connect your wireless systems one at a time until 
everything is linked properly.
