Cut the cables for a clutter-free setup
The BM-1 brings instant wireless freedom to your favourite gear by removing the need for MIDI cables. It connects via Bluetooth to computers, tablets, and other devices, letting you focus on playing and producing instead of dealing with messy wires.
This clean, streamlined approach makes it easier to move between instruments, tweak settings, or perform on stage with fewer limitations. If your goal is a neater and more flexible studio or stage setup, this adapter delivers exactly that.
Connect and control multiple devices
Using the Korg BM-1 App, you can link up to five BM-1 adapters and send or receive MIDI across them all. That means you can synchronise a whole group of instruments without a single cable between them. Whether you’re layering synths, sequencing drum machines, or managing your DAW from a controller, this feature gives you more creative freedom and control over your setup.
Instant pairing and wide compatibility
The BM-1 is designed to make setup easy. It automatically detects and pairs with nearby Bluetooth MIDI devices, so there’s no need to dig through menus or settings. With a range of up to 20 metres, you can connect across a room without losing signal. It’s compatible with Windows PCs, Macs, iPhones, iPads, and Bluetooth MIDI controllers, offering reliable performance across your devices.
Power and updates made simple
The BM-1 runs directly from your instrument’s MIDI OUT port, using the existing power supply to stay compact and efficient. There’s no need for batteries, cables, or charging. And to keep your unit performing at its best, firmware updates can be handled easily through the free Korg BM-1 App. This ensures your adapter stays up to date with the latest improvements and features from Korg.
