Re: Anyone here doing midi over a local network?
Okay Okay Okay
I did persevere with this....I know all about 'midi over LAN', but if it's now built right into OSX, that's got to be better, right?
The Midi Network feature in Tiger DOES actually work, but there's this crazy problem that just doesn't make sense:
After you've configured the network tab in AMS on each machine, and they've all found each other, it works great with low latency...even on a regular 100baseT 'office' type network!
The problem is, as soon as you quit AMS, log out or reboot any single machine, all the connections are GONE and won't come back. The midi ports in PT and Kontakt vanish too. It won't even remember which machine was connected to which.... So you have to set the damn thing up all over again - on each and every machine. Thats just STUPID and not at all the way I would expect it to work...I don't know if it's a bug or whatever but I can't use it like that. It should work just like your regular AMS midi connections.
