10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 50 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 50 days to 180 days (terms apply after 50 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

WIDI: Wireless MIDI for all MIDI devices

Designed to unify your entire MIDI system, the CME WIDI Bud Pro offers adaptability for interfaces, instruments and any other MIDI device within your setup. Powered by SCA (Smart Connectivity Algorithm) technology and Bluetooth-5, the Bud Pro integrates your system into one cohesive unit. Fully bi-directional for transmission and reception with dual-role automation as both a central and peripheral connection, you can enjoy the two-way performance with your devices. No matter what system or equipment you're using, the Bud Pro can detect and transmit any MIDI message from CC, MIDI clock, long SysEx (5kb) and even MPE.

Smart connectivity algorithms

Distinguishing itself from other wireless MIDI technologies, CME has employed the unique SCA technology. A proprietary collection of highly effective algorithms that optimise your performance, the SCA encompasses Dual Role automation, Automatic Pairing, Smart Hub Functionality, Latency Reduction Optimisation and even Range Performance Optimisation.

High-performance wireless Bluetooth

Ground-breaking latency of less than 3ms ensures that no matter what instrument or equipment you're performing on, the reaction and feel of the Bud Pro remains musical and responsive. Loaded with advanced jitter and latency optimisation ensures that your MIDI signals are strong and stable with no outside interference.

Internally powered with Bluetooth-5, the CME WIDI Bud Pro is the next generation of wireless MIDI. Adaptive Frequency Hopping, twice the speed and almost four times the range as previous iterations ensure that your equipment is seamlessly integrated across all mediums.

The complete wireless experience

When in the studio or the highly-demanding stage environment, aligning your setup can not only save you time but can also prevent any setup failures from occurring. A damaged cable can be the difference between a successful or adverse show as well as the difference between an excellent take or one that needs to be re-done in the studio. With the Bud Pro, you minimise the number of cables in your setup, unifying your entire MIDI setup and reducing the risk in highly challenging environments.

Not only does the Bud Pro offer complete Bluetooth MIDI connectivity, but you also don't need to worry about any power cables complicating your setup. Powered only by the 5V USB connection to your device, the Bud Pro lets you enjoy the fully standalone wireless solution, not tethered down to any mains cables.

Lifetime of updates

As technology progresses and evolves, so will your Bud Pro. Regular Firmware updates will be undertaken, ensuring that your device reaps any benefits from the latest technology developments. Any updates you need to do to your Bud Pro can be done entirely remotely and wirelessly via the CME WIDI App on your iOS and Android device.

Create wireless MIDI groups

Using the integrated architecture of the Bud Pro, you can create and configure groups of up to five Bluetooth MIDI devices. Using your WIDI app, the auto-learn mode of your CME Bud Pro can connect to four other devices simultaneously to send and receive any MIDI message type throughout your entire system. This replacesthe need for any MIDI interfaces, Thru and Merge boxes. By bypassing those middlemen, you can optimise the performance of your MIDI setups ánd go completely wireless.

The bi-directional performance of the CME WIDI Bud Pro ensures that they can either be used as the central or peripheral, sending and receiving messages however way you need it. You simply power up your WIDI devices, and the rest is fully automated. The bi-directionality of transmission means you can use the CME WIDI Bud Pro to create a MIDI Thru or Merge function, just like connecting a cable between two devices.
