Pairing your Woovebox
After pairing with your computer, tablet or phone, your Woovebox can be used as a regular MIDI device within other applications, or can be managed through the WooveConnect app.
Your host device's BLE radio needs to be BLE 4.0 compatible, and please make sure that your Woovebox is not already accidentally connected to some other device; it can only handle one connection at a time and will not be visible to any other devices while it is already connected.
The stability of your MIDI over BLE connection is heavily dependent the quality of the drivers and quality operating system's BLE stack. Unfortunately this quality can be found lacking on various hardware/OS combinations from Microsoft as well as Apple. For a universal, rock solid plug & play solution that works on any machine, we recommend the WIDI Bud Pro solution by CME.
By far the easiest and most stable solution, is to use a WIDI Bud Pro USB adapter that was specifically designed to provide a rock-solid MIDI over BLE connection for musicians and performers.
Most modern Linux distros allow you to pair with your Woovebox, after which it can be used system-wide as an input and output MIDI device automatically.

Though likely to work on many systems, Windows 10 and 11 are not officially supported by Woovebox due to dependency on third party drivers, and a number of severe OS-level bugs and omissions in the Bluetooth and MIDI handling in Windows.
