I have a Yamaha SHS-500 which transmits MIDI over bluetooth.

I am using Windows 10.

The app MIDIberry from Windows Store confirms that notes and midi cc data are being received over bluetooth.

Studio One does not appear to recognise my keyboard under External Devices - when I try to add it as a new keyboard, there is nothing listed under 'Receive From'.

How do I get the midi data which is coming into my computer via bluetooth to be recognised by Studio One?

I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if Studio One can't deal with incoming midi data from Bluetooth.

Grateful for any advice.

Worked it out myself. The app loopMIDI allows me to create a virtual midi instrument.

Awesome - I'm using my keytar as midi input wirelessly to my laptop. Living the dream!!
