Editor not connecting with CME Widi Jack and Bud Pro

Morningstar Software
1

I’m having difficulty connecting my MC6Pro to the online editor.

I have the CME Widi Jack connected to the MC6Pro side 3.5mm midi ports. The CME Bud Pro is connected to my Windows laptop. The Widi Jack and Bud Pro connect to each other and the Bud Pro is solid light blue and flashes when midi messages are sent via the MC6Pro.

The editor recognizes the Bud Pro but has trouble connecting to the MC6Pro. It usually either gives an error that no device was found or locks up Chrome entirely in the loading state. I have to reboot Chrome and remove/connect the Bud Pro. Eventually, I’m able to get it connected but the connection is not stable and sometimes locks up the MC6Pro. I’m assuming I don’t have the correct settings checked somewhere but don’t know where to start. The CME devices and MC6Pro firmware are all up to date.

Any help and suggestions is much appreciated!

Regarding the WIDI Jack, did you switch it to “Type A” when connected to the 3.5mm ports? There is a switch on the WIDI Jack itself to change the setting.

By default, it is set to Type B.

Yep. It’s sets on type A.

I ended up giving up on WIDI and have a cable connected to a D-panel USB jack on the side of the pedalboard. Flawless connection.

I just purchased a WIDI jack with the 3.5mm cables, and there is no physical switch for type A/B. I thought that perhaps the newer model auto-senses the connection type, but the editor does not see the WIDI jack.
(I’m trying to connect from my PC.)

I wasn’t aware that CME changed anything. The switch is located here:

Can you confirm that it isnt there? Did you purchase from us or from another source?

They need this switch because their DIN5 to 2.5mm adaptors are wired as Type B, while the 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptors are standard (which means Type A).

Thanks, James. AFTER sending an email to CME as well as my forum posts, I looked more closely and found the switch. I didn’t look at the photo closely enough; I was looking on the BOTTTOM edge of the jack, not the side! :roll_eyes:

I’ll try the connection again after work, hopefully it will work fine.

Thanks-

Bob
