Despite all the theorizing about which network protocol works best for MIDI, the TouchOSC appp for iOS/Android just sends MIDI messages as OSC via UDP [1] and in practice, this works very well and reliable in my home wifi network, even with encryption. I use this without problems to control soft synths loaded into Carla via my iPad using the the software touchosc2midi [2]. Works very well for parameter control via control change messages, but the latency is even low enough to be able to play notes on the tablet, if the timing doesn't need to be too accurate. I haven't had any dropped messages yet. I'm planing to give a demonstration of this setup at the next Open Source Audio Meeting Cologne [3], if anbody wants proof that this works ;) Chris [1] It sends MIDI messages as an OSC packet with address pattern /midi and data type 'm', i.e. 4 bytes, although it gets the order wrong, so the receiving side has to take that into account. TouchOSC also has limited support for sysex.
