MusicRadar's got your back Our team of expert musicians and producers spends hours testing products to help you choose the best music-making gear for you. Find out more about how we test.

Nothing is more guaranteed to send a musician apoplectic with rage than untangling a thicket of rubberised spaghetti pretending to be your cables.

Zivix came to our aid with the original PUC with its wireless connectivity and now it has come up with PUC+ which boasts Bluetooth LE connectivity.

Why Bluetooth we hear you ask? Well, with iOS 8 came MIDI over Bluetooth and with PUC+ it is now possible to transmit multiple MIDI signals, so you can connect your MIDI controller wirelessly to your iPad and Mac at the same time. Set up is super easy - pop in a couple of batteries, connect your iPad and PUC+ will be discoverable in your app's MIDI settings.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
