Hi all,
Is there any solution for removing MIDI cables and doing MIDI over
Ethernet for all three platforms?
I know that midishare has support for eth midi for at least linux and mac.
(tried it, it works very well). And I would be surprised if it hadn't
support for eth midi for windows as well.
Hi Kjetil,
Thanks for the info. I'm checking this out early on this Sunday
morning. My eyes are barely open. Is this an app or a library for
programmers?
Midishare is a library for midi-communication. A bit like alsa-seq.
Yepp.
To me this looks more like a library of
programming functions. Can you
point me toward an executable that I could put on my Mac and Linux
boxes to try out?
There are various tools to communicate with the net and with alsa.
I don't know where they are hidden. Probably, they are in the main
source package...
It probably is. Heres the listing of files for the planet-ccrma midishare
package:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/6/idpl/1056156
If I remember correctly, you run /usr/bin/msInetDriver to start a
midishare ethernet driver, you use /usr/bin/msRawMidi to connect alsa
(via virmidi) to midishare, and you use /usr/bin/msconnect to
graphically connect everything together.
There are similar tools for mac, and probably for windows as well.
