In this way, you could theoretically send the same MIDI to multiple machines (and likewise, you can have one machine respond to MIDI ports 1-4 and a second machine respond to ports 5 -8, and so on). I use this setup between Linux and Windows, it works right out of the box, no configuration at all! Never had an issue with timing. Ethernet is a lot faster than standard MIDI-DIN cables, and being able to send and receive up to 20 MIDI ports is fantastic. I've also use this with a keyboard connected to one machine and playing back instruments on a remote machine, with very low latency. -- Brett ------------------------------------------------------------ "In the rhythm of music a secret is hidden; If I were to divulge it, it would overturn the world." -- Jelaleddin Rumi

Rui -- I Iove qmidinet and qmidictl!! ( http://old.nabble.com/QMidiCtl-and-QMidiNet-(was-Re:--Pd-%2B-PulseAudio-)-t… ) Three feature requests, in order of seriousness and feasability: (1) For us cheapskates, a way to run qmidictl on an O2 Joggler (worlds cheapest control surface??) http://shop.o2.co.uk/joggler http://robhu.livejournal.com/750902.html http://magician.gforums.de/wiki/index.php5?title=UNE_Installation http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?p=21187242 http://www.trustedreviews.com/peripherals/review/2009/07/01/O2-Joggler/p1 http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/peripherals/253801/o2-joggler <http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/646001/o2-joggler-49-99-now-with-free-app->http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/646001/o2-joggler-49-99-now-with-free-app- (2) A way to allow for scripting betweeen qmidictl and qmidinet (or other controllers plugging into qmidinet): Also, one issue I've found w/ controllers in general is that there is a need ( fyi -- i'm looking into mididings because it allows scripting see http://old.nabble.com/using-qmidiroute-for-midi-device-control....-ts279631… and http://old.nabble.com/Building-mididings-on-Fedora-12-td28384266.html#a2838… ) (3) qmidimindctl :-) http://www.neurosky.com/mindset/mindset.html http://github.com/qdot/np_mindset/blob/master/README.txt http://developer.neurosky.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11 ( Control of http://developer.neurosky.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17 ( Python Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: qxgedit has compelled me to spend $20 on a Yam SW-60XG ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200458972918 ) and $5.00 on the only Linux-compatible PCI card that still has a waveterminal header: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Ice1724#Dynex_DX-SC51 -- I'll let you know how they work.
