Does MIDIMapper support Bluetooth MIDI? It doesn't seem to recognize the HW when present.

MIDI Mapper recognizes all the devices mapped by the WinMM layer.
It calls the midiOutGetDevCaps() function (https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/win32/multimedia/midi-functions) to enumerate them...

Could you please check if other programs (like VanBasco MIDI Player) recognise it?

Here's an example with a BT midi device connected. It shows up in MIDIBerry but not the midimapper.

It seems that BlueTooth MIDI devices have a non compliant driver interface that makes them partially (or not at all) visible to standard MIDI programs.

This is the best workaround I've found so far:

Sadly it's hard for me to further investigate on the issue, because I would need the BT hardware here to test...

Thanks for the prompt response and the tip. It is kind of what I expected with BT MIDI on Windows. I'm using Yamaha MD-BT01 Bluetooth Wireless MIDI Interface for $49.99 from Sweetwater.
