      > Windows only natively exposes BLE-MIDI through the WinRT API, which almost no DAW polls.

      I haven’t used Windows for ages. Does this mean that almost every Windows user with any Bluetooth MIDI keyboard is unable to use it out of the box with their DAW without installing additional third-party software?

      Does it apply even to latest version of the very widely used DAWs like Ableton, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Reason, and Reaper?

        If you use a Mac, you'd be amazed at how many things can't be done on Windows without 3rd-party software.

        Do you know how to spot a Windows user ? They print-and-scan to merge their PDFs.

        Thanks! Totally understand – the tool’s core audience is definitely Windows users facing MIDI driver headaches. Appreciate you stopping by though!
