Hi Guys,
I'm working on a midi controller right now using a Teensy 3.5. Everything works great and I'm currently looking into implementing midi over Bluetooth in my device so I can wirelessly play on my iPhone, iPad or computer. I haven't found any simple ways to specifically implement this with Teensy but found several other microcontrollers that were able to do it.
1.
https://github.com/sieren/blidino
This project uses the RedBearLab NRF51822 shield for Arduino which is quite large for my desired application.
2.
https://punchthrough.com/bean/docs/guides/features/midi/
The Lightblue Bean by Punch Through Design supports sending Midi over BLE
3.
https://learn.adafruit.com/bluetooth-le-midi-controller/overview
In this project the Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE by Adafruit is used for sending Midi over Bluetooth.

Yamaha has the MD-BT01 adapter that plugs in directly into a DIN midi port.
Connecting other microcontrollers or adapters to the Teensy feels quite cumbersome and expensive to me. Does anyone have a suggestion of a better alternative that lets me send Midi over Bluetooth from the Teensy? I found this which might be interesting but not sure how I could implement Bluetooth over Midi here.
