MIDI Maestro Manual

The MIDI Maestro also passes all MIDI commands that come into its MIDI IN port to 
the OUT port, this is known as MIDI Thru. The MIDI Maestro technically works using 
MIDI Merge, it sends both the commands it generates and the commands it 
receives (from MIDI IN) through the OUT port.

 Here is an example of a typical set up using the MIDI Maestro.

Bluetooth Connection

The MIDI Maestro can connect to the MIDI Maestro Smartphone App in order to 
update the MIDI Maestro firmware, update the default modes on the MIDI 
Maestro, and update/add a custom mode. Simply press and hold the Pairing 
button on the back panel until the tiny blue light on the top of the MIDI Maestro 
front panel begins to blink. If the light is solid, that means a bluetooth connection 
has been established.

The MIDI Maestro can also work with any MIDI BLE enabled device. You 

do not

 

need to pair your phone with the MIDI Maestro as a bluetooth device for it to 
work as a BLE MIDI device within an app like OnSong, for example. The app will 
automatically pair with the Maestro, no need to connect it directly to your phone 
via Bluetooth, just have Bluetooth enabled on your phone. 

(read more about 

setting up MIDI Maestro BLE commands in Section 6 MIDI Maestro Smartphone 
App).
