There is even hardware compatible to this driver like the Kiss-Box and a multitude of iConnectivity interfaces. If you are interested in some background about the development, take a look at the rtpMIDI-history. The driver has been developed over a pretty long timeframe and is updated quite regularly to even further improve the experience for the user.

If not, I have provided a step-by-step tutorial on how to configure the virtual ports and the connections. So if you are already familiar with network-MIDI on the Mac, you will find your way easily. The configuration is implemented to closely resemble the network-MIDI-configuration in OS X‘s Audio/MIDI-setup. Compared to other MIDI over LAN or IP-MIDI solutions, this driver is based on an open standard.Īs the driver has been designed to be compatible to the network-MIDI included in every Mac since OS X 10.4 and every iPhone/iPad since iOS 4.2, you can also connect to Macs or iPhone / iPad apps that have been designed to use the Core-MIDI framework. With this driver you don‘t need to connect long MIDI-cables between your music-workstations. The rtpMIDI-driver is a virtual MIDI-driver which allows DAW-applications to communicate via network with other computers. Compatible to the network MIDI included in Apple OS-X and iOS RTP-MIDI allows the transport of MIDI 1.0 messages using standard networking hardware (as well as over the Internet ), and is an alternative to MIDI DIN, USB-MIDI, and other transports which also use but do not replace MIDI protocol.Ĭompared to other transports for MIDI 1.0 messages, RTP-MIDI is especially useful for applications where MIDI devices are separated by long distances (for example in a studio, a live event, or a themepark) and anywhere that modern networking technologies are typically used.Network MIDI driver for Windows 7 up to Windows 10, 32 and 64 bit. RTP-MIDI uses and does not replace MIDI Protocol.

Is RTP-MIDI a replacement for MIDI 1.0 protocol? RTP-MIDI can also easily be implemented in hardware such as keyboards, mixers, break-out boxes, etc., since the required memory footprint, processor usage, and hardware requirements are compatible with modern low-cost microcontrollers.

Windows RT (the OS used on Windows tablets) does not yet have a MIDI API (it is still in development as of December 2013) but there is code available for developing apps that support RTP-MIDI:

Tobias Erichsen's RTP-MIDI Driver for Windows Desktop.

Erichsen's implementation is compatible with Apple's: RTP-MIDI support for the Windows (desktop) MIDI API is available from Tobias Erichsen.

On Mac OSX and iOS, Apple's CoreMIDI technology automatically handles the transfer of MIDI data between software apps (sequencers, softsynths, etc.) and external MIDI devices connected via USB (USB-MIDI), FireWire (1394-MIDI) and on a network (RTP-MIDI): RTP-MIDI allows a standard network (wired or wireless) connection to be used for carrying MIDI data. RTP-MIDI: An RTP Payload Format for MIDIĪs an IETF standard, RTP-MIDI is not proprietary technology exclusive to any specific company, and is intended for use by anyone without obtaining a license or paying any royalties.A thorough description may be found here: RTP-MIDI includes a data recovery mechanism (MIDI event journaling) to address packet loss that can occur on networks, eliminating the need for packet retransmission (which would increase latency and reduce throughput). RTP-MIDI ( IETF RFC 6295) is a specification for sending/receiving standard 'MIDI 1.0' messages using standard networking protocols ('Real Time Protocol' and 'Internet Protocol').
