  • Bluetooth on Windows Desktop

    From Jeff Gaines@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 7 08:47:50 2021
    I have something called an Artinoise Re.corder on order which connects to
    a tablet or desktop via USB.

    I can set it up with my iPad so I will be able to start making electronic squeaky noises as soon as it arrives but I would like to connect it to a Windows (8.1) desktop eventually. I can add Bluetooth with a USB dongle or perhaps a PCIe card, although I haven't found a PCIe card yet.

    Latency will be important so any recommendations for a good quality low
    latency USB/PCIe Bluetooth device?

    For any musicians here the ability to provide MIDI over Bluetooth would be
    a bonus and a card with the good old DIN MIDI in/out would be Nirvana!

    Many thanks.

    PS the Re.corder is here:

    and a demo here:

    I'd say he was a very attractive girl but don't know how old she is so I'd better not!

    If you ever find something you like buy a lifetime supply because they
    will stop making it

    I don't think I've seen an actual Bluetooth PCIe interface - they're either
    USB or something slower (UART, SDIO). You can get them physically on a PCIe card but those still use a USB or UART connection (either with a USB plug or via a host controller on the card). Commonly BT is on the same chip as
    wifi.

    I'd probably look at a USB dongle on a cable because the RF is going to be better than a card in the back of a PC.

    It's all down to the chip on the device - I don't know what chips are recommended for low latency. Ask some audio people?
