hi,
I add to the questions about pipewire configuration.
on my live laptop I am using jack with dbus and qmidinet to transfer
midi from my phone (which acts as a midi controller) to my laptop.
for ease of handling I added a line to qjackctl telling qmidinet to
start and stop together with the jack server. this works very nice.
now, I'm considering to change over to pipewire and I want to find a
comparable easy way to have my DAW receive midi signals from my phone.
pipewire has rtp implemented and the midi controller app on the phone
can handle rtp, too.
I followed this guide
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/Guide-Network-RTP#…
on my other laptop with pipewire installed. qpwgraph shows the rtp node
with 1 port (I changed "sess.media" to "midi"). thus I can connect it
to reaper. but within reaper there's no signal. I tried different
settings (ip, port which I adapted to that indicated in the avahi
browser) but nothing works.
my app tells me that I have to connect the second rtp-port to receive
midi control messages. but there's just one port and I haven't found
anything how to change the config-file in order to have 2 ports.
unfortunately, documentation seems to be basic – or I haven't found the
right sources.
can anybody here help?
as alternative:
do you have ideas how I could stick with qmidinet and have a similarly
convenient way of starting and stopping it together with reaper? since,
with pipewire you don't have to start the jack server manually.
I could use a session manager, right? any recommendations?
thanks for your hints!
have a good weekend,
christoph
