About midip

The program midip is a tiny (and lazy) implementation of IP-over-MIDI. It is a `daemon' of IP-packet converter / translator to OSS-compatible raw MIDI device (/dev/midi).

midip acts with user-space tunnel device such as ethertap, TUN/TAP. To use midip, you must prepare such devices in advance.
Of course midip is a joke :). But it works. Low speed, Low credibility, Low performance, Low meaning...

Requirements

• Multiple UNIX environment
• MIDI connectors (such as soundcards) for each UNIX machines
• Cables to connect each MIDI connectors each other
• Raw MIDI device (/dev/midi or else)
• Tunnel device such as EhterTap

There are no meaning...

midip is too heavy to use. If you send / receive packets, midip will eat all your CPU power about 100%.
Of course, MIDI device can translate data with transfer rate 31,250bps. But midip have to send data with many protocol overheads, you will only be able to send data with transfer rate 1.2kbps.
