Footswitch for MIDI Program Changes

[Steve E]

I'm looking for recommendations for a footswitch to advance through MIDI Program chnages within a song. 

I'm using an IPAD through an IConnectivity MIDI Interface to send the changes to my Nord and Roland.  I typically have 2 or 3 midi programs within a song.  It all works perfectly by tapping the ipad but it would be nice to advance through changes with a footswitch. 

I've thought about BlueTooth but am concerned about adding additional lag to the changes. 

What are you all using or would recommend?

Thanks,
Steve4

Others can weigh in with their experience, but some products we've tested are listed here:

I used this: https://www.disasterareadesigns.com/shop/p/midi-baby-3

You can find it much cheaper used on Reverb.

I used it with this USB to Midi interface: https://www.roland.com/global/products/um-one_mk2/

I used that cable because I too was skeptical about using bluetooth. However, after read great review, I started using this: https://www.cme-pro.com/widi-master/

I have since been a convert.

Thanks!  That's the one I ordered after researching as much as possible.  Once I get it working, I'll probably try out the BT adapter.
Thanks,

Update....I got the Midi Baby 3 and it works flawlessly.   It's very programmable.  I've got it set for the center button to advance to the next midi preset.  The left button to the previous preset and the right button to the next song.   I haven't tried it via bluetooth yet.   It needs power via an adapter or via USB which is whqt I'm doing so it's not cableless no matter what.

Great to hear!

Did you get the WIDI master for Bluetooth midi? That can be powered directly from the MIDI Baby. The midi out port on the midi baby supplies power. If you're only using MIDI out from the midi baby to your iPad, you don't even need to the MIDI in part of the WIDI master
