title: Bluetooth MIDI - Windows
body: <p>I am trying to connect a Bluetooth Low Energy enabled MIDI hardware to wirelessly send data to a Windows PC and get it to detect as a MIDI device in Windows. Currently, the device is able to pair with my Windows 10 laptop and I am able to read the incoming data off of it.  </p>
  
  <p>The same hardware is configured and working fine as a wireless MIDI device on Mac and iOS devices(which natively supports MIDI over Bluetooth). I am trying to get this feature implemented on Windows(which doesn't support MIDI over Bluetooth, although it was promised in Windows 10).  </p>
  
  <p>The device, when is paired, is showing up in the 'Bluetooth devices' section in device manager, I am trying to make this device showing up as a MIDI device in 'Sound, video and game controllers' section.
  Any help/resources somebody can provide to help me crack this problem is highly appreciated. </p>
  
  <p>Following is my current thought process to implement this.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Pair the device and read the data off of it. (Already implemented)</li>
  <li>Create a virtual MIDI port. (Don't know how to implement this, I am currently checking out <a href="http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/rtpmidi.html" rel="nofollow">rtpMIDI</a>)</li>
  <li>Send the MIDI data which was read from the BLE device to the virtual MIDI port. (Still don't know how to implement this)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any suggestions/comments on the above thought process as I am absolutely new to Windows Driver Development. </p>
