Abstract

Embodiments generally relate to an adapter device for music devices. In one embodiment, an adapter includes an adapter body. The adapter further includes a connector for communicating with a music device. The adapter further includes a module for communicating wirelessly.

Claims (30)

1 . An adapter comprising:

an adapter body;

a connector for communicating with a music device; and

a module for communicating wirelessly.

2 . The adapter of claim 1 , wherein the connector is a musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) connector.

3 . The adapter of claim 1 , further comprising a switch that controls a direction of information transmission at the adapter.

4 . The adapter of claim 1 , further comprising a switch that controls a direction of information transmission at the adapter, wherein the switch toggles between an input mode and an output mode.

5 . The adapter of claim 1 , wherein the module is a Bluetooth module.

6 . The adapter of claim 1 , wherein the module is a Bluetooth low energy module.

7 . The adapter of claim 1 , further comprising a universal serial bus connector.

8 . A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

logic encoded in one or more tangible media for execution by the one or more processors, and when executed operable to perform operations comprising:

enabling an adapter to communicate with a music device; and

enabling the adapter to communicate wirelessly.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein, to enable the adapter to communicate with the music device, the logic when executed is further operable to perform operations comprising enabling communication through a musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) connector.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the logic when executed is further operable to perform operations comprising enabling a switch to control a direction of information transmission at the adapter.

11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the logic when executed is further operable to perform operations comprising enabling a user to select a direction of information transmission at the adapter.

12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the logic when executed is further operable to perform operations comprising enabling a user to select a direction of information transmission at the adapter using a switch, and wherein the switch toggles between an input mode and an output mode.

13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein, to enable the adapter to communicate wirelessly, the logic when executed is further operable to perform operations comprising enabling communication through a Bluetooth module.

14 . A method comprising:

providing an adapter for communicating with a plurality of devices;

enabling the adapter to communicate with a music device; and

enabling the adapter to communicate wirelessly.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the enabling of the adapter to communicate with the music device comprises providing a musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) connector.

16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the enabling of the adapter to communicate with the music device comprises providing a switch that controls a direction of information transmission at the adapter.

17 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising enabling a user to select a direction of information transmission at the adapter.

18 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising enabling a user to select a direction of information transmission at the adapter by providing a switch, wherein the switch toggles between an input mode and an output mode.

19 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the enabling of the adapter to communicate wirelessly comprises providing a Bluetooth module.

20 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the enabling of the adapter to communicate wirelessly comprises providing a Bluetooth module, wherein the Bluetooth module is a Bluetooth low energy module.
