QmidiNet - A MIDI Network Gateway via UDP/IP Multicast

QmidiNet - A MIDI Network Gateway via UDP/IP Multicast

QmidiNet is a MIDI network gateway application that sends and receives MIDI data (ALSA Sequencer [2] and/or JACK MIDI [3]) 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) [4] version 2 or later.

Requirements

The software requirements for build and runtime are listed as follows:

Mandatory:

[1] Qt framework, C++ class library and tools for cross-platform application and UI development https://qt.io/

[2] ALSA, Advanced Linux Sound Architecture https://www.alsa-project.org/

Optional (opted-in at build time):

[3] JACK Audio Connection Kit https://jackaudio.org/

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 () 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, after all this is alpha software ;)

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 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidinet).
