Thank You _SO MUCH_ for pointing me to MIDIBerry!!!!! I'm on my second Korg microKEY37 Air controller - the first one's BT died after dropping it a few times (USB still works!), and the second just stopped connecting to my PC (would still connect to my iPad.. weird). Thanks to MIDIBerry, I can use BT again! So much less 'interrupting the muse' when I don't have to connect cables.
Glad i could help. It was a question mark for me too when i received the smk 25. Refused to think there was nothing i can do, short from getting a mac. Too bad microsoft doesnt see us musicians as a priority :(
LIVESAVER !!!! I took me quite a while to make it all work because BT used to disconnect randomly... but the Disconnection problem seems be solved once Midiberry is running. Thanks so much for this video. You are a Hero !!
There's a reason Bluetooth isn't popular with most MIDI controllers. First is that there is so much disinformation out there about the HUGE LATENCY of Bluetooth - but that's only true for AUDIO. There is some latency with BT MIDI, but it's not much. Second is that, when implemented as usual (a.k.a. As Cheap As Possible), it's on a separate board and can easily break when the unit is dropped.
Well, it’a not perfect, that is for sure, but in order to get better and better results, it needs to be implemented and tested. But those are some good points.
Finally! I solved my problem since I cant connect my smk-25 through BT. Can you make a live looping session and how do you set it up using smk-25? thanks a lot!
Can you do a update video test of how far from your Daw you can go with M-Vave SMK25 II you can walk around or move around far away, would be a great test to see how far the Bluetooth Range will continue to work.
Good day Sir, Pls am trying to login the Mk 25 app but its just saying connecting and i cant use the stop, play, rec button in my Daw which is Fl. Pls can you help me out
Are you using Rec/Stop/Play buttons via BT? I can map them in Reaper via USB cable, but via BT i can't (only keys, pads and knobs, without rec buttons). I see that rec buttons have different codes in loopModi.
while I was able to connect the device using other MIDI applications (Korg BLE, MIDI Ox, MidiBerry) I couldnt do that with MIDI Suite. it just sits there with "waiting for a device to connect". Im not sure if there's anything Ive missed since there's no documentation for MIDI Suite, which is the only thing that will let us edit the presets for the knobs and the pads, not to mention getting the transport controls to work
I wonder if this will work with my Bluetooth midi capable Akai MPC. If so, I'm thinking about possibly buying one of these. It's perfect and exactly what I'm looking for, IF, the Bluetooth midi function is compatible with my MPC Key-37.
@Marius_Tarceatu Oh, okay. So it does require special software in order for it to work? Thanks for letting me know. I think I'll pass on this one. Korg makes a similar Bluetooth keyboard controller that has been reported to be compatible with the MPC. I'm going to take a closer look into that one as an alternative. Thanks again!
I don't know why but Mac users have special utility (MidiUitls) and can control DAW via bluetooth (for example, in Ableton you can see two ports as like when you connected via usb). But Windows users haven't this utility or another ways for use standart control daw presets :(
@@Marius_Tarceatu Hi, have a update about this! M-VAVE sent me program which works like a Mac program: you connect on it and have a two bluetooth-channels in daw and you set up it like set up via usb. I asked them in the comments under this video: ruclips.net/video/tJuS-EEml_w/видео.html&lc=UgySDNw-4kJgWgQkFJR4AaABAg.A0AB4aLniE1A0G9BFObnyF
Hey Marius, could I ask you 2 questions re this keyboard & Ableton (1) does one single turn of one of the dials mean it goes from 0 - 100% on Ableton dial (I've previously had problems with me having to turn more the one rotation with other controllers, which is very frustrating & difficult in live situations ) and (2) are the keyboard disks tight (like native instrument keyboards, are looser like akai controllers?
They are endless encoders which means that you have a finer tune to where you want, but you can also need more turns for a full 0-127 I dont have akai controllers, or native ones, but i can say the Arturia Minilab are definately better, bigger, and with more feeling, but they are also best in class for this 25 key form factor. They are a bit flimsy, but not too much. You get used to playing on them. Hope this helps.
help, your review of the smt-25ii bluetooth. I have tried the korg ble and the intel drivers. it just disconnects after after a second or so, you said you found a solution, give me a clue where you found it? Great videos!
Watch the video. There are 2 solutions, the midiberry way or even better the m-vave bluetooth driver that you can find in another video of mine. Cheers!
Check out my last video to connect it via bluetooth. When connected via usb, select mackiecontrol as your control surface, and the input and output the board.
I installed the BLE MIDI driver and had the keyboard connected usb and BT on I messed around with the BT options for a little bit until it connected and was able to pull the usb and use the BT only no latency using win 10
@@Marius_Tarceatu I dont really know how it started working so I can't say it just connected somehow maybe it was after I restarted my PC? it wasn't working right away after a few days and more tries I just hit a note on the keys not expecting much and it worked lol
Hello thanks for the video. I just got this controller for my son. He is using it with his iPhone and iPad. Besides GarageBand do you know of another app he could use ?
Problem here... My keyboard connecting via BT, but after 3 sec, disconnet.. Why? Maybe my BT is not as strong? I have SMK-25 not the II version. Thank you!
Which is better: worlde orca 25 key or hoerev 25 keys Bluetooth?means working and knobs and presets changing ,please write fast , because I want buy it thanks
Thanks. I don't really have an mpk so i can't compare. It also depends on use case. My personal favorite, seeing as i am a pianist, and put the keyboard feel as my top priority, is still the arturia minilab 3 :)
Great video, but i am having an issue getting it to work in Pro Tools 12.5. I see the loop midi in my connections but i still can't get it setup properly. I really wish this company had videos and tips on how to set this up. I must be the only one trying to do this in PT.
It should not matter if you have PT. Check out if your connections in Midi Berry are the same as mine, that is important. Also, might want to check the facebook group. There is a link in the description.
Can anyone here tell me what notes your default pads are mapped to? Out of the box the pads appeared to be mapped to standard midi - then my kid got a hold of it and now it's not. I've tried everything I can think of and transposing doesn't seem to effect the pads. Thanks for any insights.
Well you can set them back up from the midi suite app, or the cube suite on the iphone. Check out the link in the description to download them. Also, i usually map them to the lowest notes if i do use notes on them so they don’t interfere with your usual playing. Hope this helps.
New to the world of electronic music and all of this and I did get this controller as a gift. I was confused because my M-Vave does not have a USB-C connector but something else that looks like a USB-B but when I tried the USB-B on it it did not work. Does anyone know what it is?
If it is this controller, it should have usb c. If it is another, i don’t know. Also, if it is usb-b, that only has one way to plug in, so be mindfull of that.
I see ill check em out. But either way, amazing review and thank you for guiding with midi berry and loopmid, it finally worked and never had issues with bt connectivity anymore. You're a life saver!
Sorry sir, I'm having problems when connecting to Bluetooth and it won't connect on windows. After I connected Bluetooth, the indicator LED lit up for a long time, but a few seconds later it blinked again how to solve my problem
@@Marius_Tarceatu I have followed the instructions in the video and have successfully connected, but there is another problem, no message input goes to Midibery every time I press SMK25 what should i do sir?
the software is from a dangerous page..... no https and no certificate..... Isn't there a reliable site to download? (I just received the SMK-25 II and it worked right out of the box with iPad. . . . but I'd like to customize it a bit. . . ) thanks!
@@Marius_Tarceatu that's ok, no problem (it's just the same in any iPad DAW.... it has something to do with M-VAVE transmitting as if it was 2 controllers. . . . . ) I'll give it a try later and if I do make that work, I'll update here. 👍
Hi, i wanna ask if the usb port is available as a midi input instead doing it with bluetooth. Cuz some seller told me that it only works with bluetooth mode while the usb features only to change key's theme. I really craving this midi but need certainty for usb usability as a midi input. Thanks
While you are connected thru USB, the bluetooth connection interrupts and you have a new connection, just like some of your more common midi controllers. It is described in the video how you can connect it thru usb, as it it needs different settings than on bluetooth. Going to usb has more usability and functions. Hope this helps.
@@Tmantman125 Sadly, it doesnt say. M-Vave should really work on their manuals :)) There is info in the video about how to connect thru USB. Select mackie control and then select the midi in and out, the smk 2. Hope this helps.
@@Marius_Tarceatu some keys on my midi keyboard of the same brand are not functioning. Is it a connection problem or a factory defect? What can I do to fix it?
I don’t know anything about that. The best way is to go to facebook and join the official m-vave group. There is a link in the video description. There, contact M-Vave Yana to try and fix this. Sounds like a hardware problem, but i don’t know.
It doesnt have a lag? I use mpk mini but it has a lag, when i play a note i hear it with small delay in my speakers what is not convinient and its hard to looping
You can’t use it for looping in bluetooth mode as it has a small delay, but you can use it to sketch out ideas. For looping you must connect it via USB. Also, check out you have the lowest posible latency.
Check this: ruclips.net/video/Sis8lqdp8HI/видео.htmlsi=ES66cpcSBnbtnP3l Also, it should work with the midi loop and ble, so you are probably doing something wrong. The way in the video i linked is faster tho, and better.
@@Marius_Tarceatu Thanks! I ended up solving my issue through the manual. It's just not laid out well. Turns out there's a second set of instructions for connection on the back of the main page and it says to scan a qr code on the back of the keyboard. From that, I downloaded an app called bt midi connector. That software picked up the controller and then I was able to "pair" it to the computer. Would never think to do it in that order but hey, hope this helps anyone else!
They are pretty good endless encoders. Smaller than the Arturia Minilab 3 and maybe not as high quality, but they come close. They work nice with Ableton Live.
Won't work with Win 11. I tried all 3 programs you suggested and my computer sees it in the "add device" area but it will not connect. I hate Chinese crap!!! (I wish there was a version of this made by a US company). (I have the SMC-Pad Pocket)
@@Marius_Tarceatu OK, I watched it, thank you. The problem is there wasn't advice on what to do if it won't connect to Bluetooth; besides keep trying and be patient. It connects to my phone instantly but I've tried all day and it won't connect to my Win 11 desktop. 😥
I didn't. They just sent it to me for a review. It is on their site that is in the description. But you can't buy it there. I am reaching out to them and i will get back to you if they provide a link.
@@Marius_Tarceatu thanks A lot for your answer so I will check more about it if is truth so can be useful to me for what I am looking for ...so if is connect to iPhone do I need any app or open direct
This competes directly with the likes of the akai mpk or the arturia minilab as a first time studio keyboard that you can use for all your basic music production and beatmaking needs.
If your talking about android (specifically android 13), there are bugs with the ble midi function. This problem only exists on android 13 as android 12 and 14 dont have this issue.
Bro, help me, please. I don't have a loopmidi port in Midiberry. What should I do? Maybe you said it in the video, but I don't understand English very well by ear.

I don’t have any experience on Linux, bro. Sorry 😢
Hi, this or konix md02 midi out included?
I don’t have the konix but this one is pretty good. Midi out port is not included, if that is what you are asking.
What app do I need to do this on my Android phone?
Don’t really know!
What about bluetooth latency?
It’s there. Not to bad.
Hi. How are the knobs? Limited or Endless. If endless, do they work well with AbletonLive?
They are pretty good endless encoders. Smaller than the Arturia Minilab 3 and maybe not as high quality, but they come close. They work nice with Ableton Live.
Can I get the most out of it with just my cell phone? Bandlab?
It should run if you are on iphone, don’t know about android. Also, transport controls don’t work over bluetooth.
What drivers do you use I can't get this thing to work ?
What’s not working?
@Marius_Tarceatu the smk25 keyboard links to Bluetooth but when I've downloaded the drivers ( multiple different ones ) the drivers can't find the smk
@blakeadelmann6228 watch the video carefully. I explain everything there!
Won't work with Win 11. I tried all 3 programs you suggested and my computer sees it in the "add device" area but it will not connect. I hate Chinese crap!!! (I wish there was a version of this made by a US company). (I have the SMC-Pad Pocket)
I just made a video about the Pocket. It totally works with win 11. Go check it out.
@Marius_Tarceatu How do I find that video? Thank you 👍
Go on my youtube channel. It’s the most recent video.
@@Marius_Tarceatu OK, I watched it, thank you. The problem is there wasn't advice on what to do if it won't connect to Bluetooth; besides keep trying and be patient. It connects to my phone instantly but I've tried all day and it won't connect to my Win 11 desktop. 😥
It actually does. Get the Sinco Connector, go to plus and connect it.
Sir Can i connect two midi Bluetooth?
Yes you can
@@Marius_Tarceatu i try sir but only one midi i can connect 😥😥
@MjWendam Use this app from m-vave: ruclips.net/video/QWkKz8AmuqM/видео.htmlsi=3v2Y42SMD2Msz23T
@@Marius_Tarceatu thank you soo much sir... Your a legend 😁❤️
@@MjWendam you are welcome 😃
so when I can't connect bluetooth.,can I used wired?
Yes
Using a macbook and cannot see bluetooth appear :( anyone else?
can I use it or play using USB cable instead of bluetooth?? Thanks
Of course you can!
@@Marius_Tarceatu thanks Do I need to install the driver ? or automatically connect..?
@@Nada_Brahma-n8x connects automatically!
@@Marius_Tarceatu thanks a lot
Where did you buy this? I can’t find it anywhere
I didn't. They just sent it to me for a review. It is on their site that is in the description. But you can't buy it there. I am reaching out to them and i will get back to you if they provide a link.
Looks like you can find it on amazon now. This is an affiliate link: amzn.to/3G3UJ59
@@Marius_Tarceatu thanks!
its available on Temu
you jump into what?
Can you use just mobile phone with this
It works on an iphone for sure. Don’t know about android.
@@Marius_Tarceatu thanks A lot for your answer so I will check more about it if is truth so can be useful to me for what I am looking for ...so if is connect to iPhone do I need any app or open direct
Why 25 keys only? At least make them modular so you can attach 2 or more
This competes directly with the likes of the akai mpk or the arturia minilab as a first time studio keyboard that you can use for all your basic music production and beatmaking needs.
Mine only pairs with PC and then disconnects after a few seconds.
Fallow the steps i showed in the video and it will work.
@@Marius_Tarceatu oh my God i followed the loopmidi and midiberry thing and it actually worked, thank you!
@@EscaVODS You are welcome :)
2.14 ...and it's a priest to carry around with you in your backpack 🎒
Sounds like fun 😅 thanks
does it work with cubase?
@@kssupsi it should!
Can this be charged or how does it works ?
Yup. It charges with your own charger, as it does not come in the box with one, or when connected to your PC.
@@Marius_Tarceatu okay thanks, but i hope the battery do last ?
@@DezzyNawty i have no problem with mine…
Good day Sir, pls how can i set the play, stop, and rec in my daw, i use FL
OSX?
?
does it have aftertouch?
It does not.
Bluetooth is not working with android devices. Why you need wireless with a pc? ...you really need wireless with an android device.
I think it works, but only on certain apps. Also, it works with iphones. Maybe they will make an app for android.
If your talking about android (specifically android 13), there are bugs with the ble midi function. This problem only exists on android 13 as android 12 and 14 dont have this issue.
Зысыз кийбордс куул я думаю. Поэтому мейби ай шиппинг ту алиэксрэсс совсем скоро.
That sounds cool 😅
@@Marius_Tarceatu 😄👍
Спасибо!
Кому интересно, снял подобную инструкцию на русском языке, плюс управление транспортом.
Где это увидеть?
@@kirillvalershteyn325 у меня на канале. В разделе видео, или в плейлисте, где все видео.
wat the heck is ableton
Ableton Live! 😂
Bro, help me, please. I don't have a loopmidi port in Midiberry. What should I do? Maybe you said it in the video, but I don't understand English very well by ear.
You should have a midiLoop port in your DAW.
@@Marius_Tarceatu Fl studio has this midiLoop port? Don't know?
It should have. Somewhere in midi connections, or midi instruments or something. Check around
@@Marius_Tarceatu Ok, i did something wrong. It works now. Thank you, stranger👍
You are welcome 😂
bull shit.. BLE = Bluetooth Low Energy...
"Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11, natively support Bluetooth Low Energy"
Haha, indeed
