rtpmidid is a Linux daemon that bridges between the ALSA sequencer and another RTP MIDI compatible network connected system. This allows to use MIDI over Ethernet for Linux systems.

This new version features compatibility with Apple systems (iOS and MacOS), enhances compatibility with rtpmidi for Windows, and debuts the librtpmidid library.
rtpmidid 20.07 comes with these new features:
In this version the librtpmidid library is introduced. The library is licensed with LGPL 2.1, with the idea of encouraging third parties to include rtpmidi support in their products. It is very sad that there are a lot of hardware devices with networking support, WiFI or Ethernet, but they opt for private interfaces that are buggy and difficult to interconnect to. I'm looking at you AKAI MPC One (literally, it's here on my desktop) and your AKAI Network Driver. If you were compatible with rtpmidi you would just work on Apple Devices, and with a third party installation on Windows and Linux. And MPC could use your massive MIDI possibilities with any other MIDI device on the network.
The library is OS independent and implements just the protocol so the MIDI bytes can be used in whatever capacity the program needs them.
If anybody can contact the decision makers and advocate for the use of librtpmidid in hardware music equipment, please do so, and point the relevant persons to this library. And if you are a person with some decision power in this, please contact me, and I will help make this happen in whatever way I can.
