Title: Midi Yoke on VISTA to XP
Post by cmbourget on Jan 8^th, 2009, 4:26pm

Hello,

I install Midi Yoke (NT 1.75)) on two computers: a VISTA 32, another XP 32 . I read all about the forum and in the manual, and I applied, but I am unable to make the system work :-[. So far, only ipMidi worked :-/. My goal is to send lunch for Vista 32 (Sp1) to 32 XP (SP3). I am sure Midi Yoke can be done, but something has to block (this is not the firewall) :'(. Thank you for help.

MIDI Yoke is not a network driver. It can't do what you're trying to make it do.

Thank you for your reply. I understand and I do not understand. For example, it is iPmidi a Network driver? Question: If you want to get lunch between two computers? A computer with a sequencer, and the other serving finally synthesizer, as if it were an instrument. A real cable midi can. Why not a virtual cable? Forgive me if I am completely wrong. I am looking for a freeware solution. If a good soul can tell me where to find ...

Yes, ipMIDI is a network driver. And yes, a real MIDI cable easily solves the problem. So we need MIDI over the network because ...? Connecting hardware together is why MIDI was invented. MIDI Yoke does what a physical MIDI cable can't do - connect two software applications together inside one machine. I don't know of any freeware MIDI over Network solutions.

I found a great small app that converts midi to ethernet and allows you to do midi between two or more computers on a lan. It's called EthernetMidi from http://www.linuxsampler.org/ethernetmidi/
I use Midi Yoke with it and it's great.
On one computer I have Cakewalk Sonar outputting to Midi Yoke 1 and EthernetMidi inputing from Yoke 1. It points to the IP or Name of my other computer, which is also running Midi Yoke and EthernetMidi. That computer inputs from Yoke 1 and outputs to my soft synth. Magic!
