Wireless Sync-Start Technology (WIST) is a Korg technology that allows for wireless sync-start between two WIST-compatible iOS music apps on two iOS Devices located near each other. It allows users to sync two devices to create a dynamic live performance using two compatible apps.
 

 

What is WIST?

• WIST allows for wireless sync-start between two WIST-compatible apps on two iOS devices located near each other.
• 3G or Wi-Fi connections are not required as WIST uses Bluetooth.
• There are two modes, Master and Slave.
  • The first device will be treated as the Master for sync-start, sync-stop and tempo.
  • The second device will Slave to the Master settings.
• The setup process is very simple and easy.
• WIST creates co-marketing opportunities within compatible apps. Your app will be listed on KORGs WIST page and it will be available from each compatible app.

 

User Setup Process:

The setup process is very simple and easy. Just enable the WIST function on each app to connect to another, and set the Master and the Slave. The two devices will be connected via Bluetooh, so you can play anywhere without 3G or a Wi-Fi network. The initial iPad or iPhone will be treated as the Master for sync-start, sync-stop and tempo. The second device will Slave to the Master settings. You’ll be synchronized and ready to jam!
