4. Connect to smart devices and APP

<p>AIRSTEP can be connected to mobile phones, tablets, and computer via Bluetooth, and can send MIDI and HID messages when connected. In addition, AIRSTEP can also be connected to a PC via USB, or connected to an iOS device via USB+iOS dedicated OTG (purchased by yourself). It should be noted that only MIDI messages can be sent using a USB connection. When using a mobile phone or tablet (Android/iOS), you can also download APP to edit AIRSTEP presets.</p> <h4>USB connection</h4> <p>To connect your smart device via USB, you need to use the USB A-C cable to connect it, and you can use it normally after the PC is connected. (Note: At present, the smart connection via USB is that AIRSTEP can only send MIDI signals and cannot send HID signals, which means that functions such as controlling video shortcut keys cannot be realized, so it is recommended to use a Bluetooth connection to connect smart devices)</p> <h4>Bluetooth pairing</h4> <p>Before pairing, please upgrade to V1.7 firmware.</p> <p>After upgrading, turn off and turn on the AIRSTEP power switch. At this time, the connection indicator will flash once and then keep off status (if it is not connected to any smart device or WIDI device).</p> <p>Enter the system Bluetooth settings of the mobile phone, tablet or computer, search for Bluetooth devices, under normal circumstances, you can find AIRSTEP, click to complete the pairing.</p> <p>Starting from firmware V1.7, AIRSTEP can keep Bluetooth connection with up to 3 Bluetooth devices at the same time(For example, phone, tablet, computer, WIDI, etc.), with no needs to switch one to another. The connection indicator flashes once per cycle / flashes twice per cycle / always-on, which corresponds to 1 device/2 devices/3 devices connected to AIRSTEP at this time. </p> <p>After successfully pairing with the smart device, AIRSTEP can send HID keyboard messages to all connected smart devices, but cannot send MIDI messages. Sending MIDI messages requires a MIDI connection.</p> <h4>Connect Bluetooth MIDI</h4> <h6>How to use AIRSTEP's Bluetooth function on iOS / Mac:</h6> <ol> <li>Bluetooth pair AIRSTEP with your device.</li> <li>Bluetooth MIDI function: Download &quot;Bluetooth MIDI Connect&quot; in the App Store, go to the device list, select AIRSTEP, and connect. </li> </ol> <h6>The use of AIRSTEP's Bluetooth function on the Windows :</h6> <ol> <li>Bluetooth pair AIRSTEP with your device (if your PC does not have a Bluetooth module, please purchase a USB Bluetooth adapter that supports Bluetooth 4.0 or above). after successful pairing, if there is a “Swift Pair” option, please enable.</li> <li>Bluetooth MIDI function (Bluetooth MIDI function only supports WIN10 or above).</li> </ol> <p>A.
