Fusion Connectivity
System Requirements:
​

​
-
Pairing Fusion with Bluetooth requires either an iOS device running iOS 16.0, or a Mac computer running Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10) or newer

To connect to your Mac device: In Spotlight, search for Audio MIDI Setup. If the “MIDI Studio” window is not visible, open it using the Window menu or by pressing CMD+2
-
Click on the Bluetooth icon (top right of the screen). Note: Do not click “Advertise” on your Mac – this will prevent you from seeing your device

To disconnect, re-open the “MIDI Studio” window inside the “Audio MIDI Setup” application, Click the Bluetooth icon in the top bar of the MIDI Studio window, click “Disconnect” beside your device name.
​
* Bluetooth MIDI Advertising may time-out if your screen turns off. Ensure your screen is on and “Advertise MIDI Service” is still checked on before attempting to pair Fusion.
