re. said studio

yes, might be yours truly qmidinet (or ipmidi) on the stake here...

now,

qmidinet/ipmidi never meant to be midi-over-the-air as far as for live, 
uncajed (faraday-wise;)) open, public-address or whatever situation, 
let's be certain... instead, it's always assumed an in-house flat or 
home-studio situation, for x-sake :)

when in doubt, get it all wired over good old and trusty ethernet-- i 
bet it might even go on par and even exceed old current-loop, 
cabled-midi timing specs :P

hth2.
cheers
