Setting the Communication Mode
About the Two Communication Modes
STANDARD Mode
(BLE MIDI)
In STANDARD mode, you can connect to a Mac or smartphone
that supports BLE MIDI, or connect to the WM-1D connected to a
computer.
Up to three BLE MIDI devices can be connected to a WM-1 unit that is
in STANDARD mode. You can connect not only the WM-1D, but also a
Mac or smartphone.
STANDARD mode has two modes: STANDARD (Host) and STANDARD
(Remote).

FAST mode
In FAST mode, you can connect with a lower latency than STANDARD
mode.
One WM-1/WM-1D unit can be connected to a WM-1/WM-1D that is in
FAST mode.
NOTE
