This project aims to build decentralized MIDI over Zyre. The goal is that you can bring MIDI devices, sequencers, and synths together over WiFi without any cables and without any configuration.

Before compiling, you will need to install the alsa dev libraries, on ubuntu it is "libasound2-dev".
Build using either autotools:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
Or With cmake:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ make install
Currently provides two tools:
- midicast - broadcasts MIDI events from a local MIDI device to the Zyre ether
- midigrab - grabs MIDI events off the Zyre ether and forwards them to a local MIDI port
Run these as follows:
midicast hw:1,0,0
and
midigrab hw:2,0
Here is a good tutorial on setting up MIDI synthesis on Linux.
On the receiving box you will want to use a virtual MIDI device. Load the kernel module thus:
sudo modprobe snd-virmidi snd_index=1
To check the MIDI devices you have, use these commands to taste:
amidi -l
cat /proc/asound/cards
cat /proc/asound/devices
