It uses UDP Multicast so you don't need to target a specific IP address. 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! > What's your experience with timing using this over ethernet (we might end up > simply using a crossover cable across the stage)? 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 _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
