Receiving CoreMidi over a Network

IPhones, iPods and iPads use CORE Midi. This is a midi signal sent on wifi. Many midi applications are available at the AppStore that can send midi, opening an impressive range of possible controllers.

Control and TouchOSC in particular, present in Android ….

To receive the Midi protocol issued from CORE Midi, you will have to install Bonjour and rtpMIDI, which are both free software programs.

Bonjour allows you to network machines without using IP addressing: the machine and its name are displayed on a small network, you accept and voila.

As simple as Hello …

However, the structure of Bonjour needs a specific driver, and this is where we will use rtpMIDI, as it will rip the received signal on a midi port that it will create.

rtpMIDI launches itself at windows startup, once you have it installed. rtpMIDI is extremely easy to use, robust and reliable.

Installing In Windows
