QmidiNet A MIDI Network Gateway via UDP/IP Multicast

What's QmidiNet ?

QmidiNet is a MIDI network gateway application that sends and receives MIDI data (ALSA Sequencer and/or JACK MIDI) over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast (https://llg.cubic.org/tools) and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows (https://nerds.de).

QmidiNet is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.

qmidinet-1.0.0.tar.gz

• Making up the unthinkable (aka. v1.0.0)

Previous and older releases, including the change log, are also available here. You may also check out from the latest bleeding edge development source tree, using Git.

You can browse all files available for download, including binary packages, at QmidiNet Files on SourceForge.net.

Installation

Unpack the tarball and in the extracted source directory:

cmake [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=prefix] -B build

cmake --build build [--parallel Njobs]

and optionally as root:

[sudo] cmake --install build

Note that the default installation path prefix is /usr/local .

Configuration

QmidiNet holds its settings and configuration state per user, in a file located as $HOME/.config/rncbc.org/QmidiNet.conf. Normally, there's no need to edit this file, as it is recreated and rewritten everytime qmidinet is run.

Bugs

Plenty still, however QjackNet may be considered in production/stable phase already.

Support

QmidiNet is open source free software. For bug reports, feature requests, discussion forums, mailling lists, or any other matter related to the development of this piece of software, please use the Sourceforge project page.
