EV-1-WL Connection Guide
This guide explains how you can use BLE MIDI to wirelessly pair (connect) the EV-1-WL and AC-22LX.
* The Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor (Model: BT-DUAL, sold separately) is needed when wirelessly pairing the EV-1-WL with the AC-22LX.
See the Owner's Manual for how to attach the adaptor.
What is "BLE MIDI"?
"BLE MIDI" is the technology used to transmit and receive MIDI
messages wirelessly via Bluetooth® LE.
This is officially known as "MIDI over Bluetooth Low Energy".

Connection 2: Connecting the AC-22LX and AC-22LX
Editor
Connect the AC-22LX to the AC-22LX Editor. Follow the steps in "Launching
the AC-22LX Editor" (p. 1) to connect.
1.
Connect the AC-22LX to your computer with a USB cable.
2.
From the "Start" menu, select [All Programs] Ó [AC-22LX
Editor] Ó [AC-22LX Editor].
macOS users
From the Finder, in the Applications/BOSS/AC-22LX folder, double-
click [AC-22LX Editor Editor (.app)].
3.
Configure the parameters to be controlled by the EV-1-WL
(p. 17).
NOTE
¹ The AC-22LX and EV-1-WL automatically connect next time they are
restarted. To connect the AC-22LX Editor, you must follow the steps
in "Connection 2" each time.
¹ The EV-1-WL remembers the information for the last Bluetooth
device to which it was connected. When connecting to a different
device after connecting to the AC-22LX, or when turning off
the power while the Bluetooth indicator is blinking white
(not connected), or when doing a factory reset of the EV-1-WL,
the device does not pair automatically. In this case, go back to
"Connection 1" to configure the settings.
¹ When using Bluetooth audio from a mobile device, first connect
the AC-22LX and the mobile device via Bluetooth audio, and then
connect the EV-1-WL to the AC-22LX.
