Introduction
All current iConnectivity interfaces with Ethernet ports are able to address up to 4 virtual MIDI ports each using RTP-MIDI over Ethernet - that's 4 unique ports per interface. However many of our interfaces have more external DIN-MIDI ports and USB-MIDI Host ports than there are available internal RTP-MIDI ports. This means that when using Ethernet you may have to "double up" on ports if you have many MIDI controllers and modules. In practice this is not difficult, you just have to ensure that MIDI devices that share the same RTP-MIDI port are set to different MIDI channels.Default routing
By default, our interfaces try to assign the virtual Ethernet RTP-MIDI ports to the hardware DIN-MIDI and USB-MIDI ports in a "round robin" manner in order to make the most efficient use of the limited available ports.The default setting for the mio4 and MIDI4+ is:
- RTP1 -> DIN1, HST1, HST5
- RTP2 -> DIN2, HST2, HST6
- RTP3 -> DIN3, HST3, HST7
- RTP4 -> DIN4, HST4, HST9
- RTP1 -> DIN1, DIN5, DIN9, HST1, HST5, HST9
- RTP2 -> DIN2, DIN6, DIN10, HST2, HST6, HST10
- RTP3 -> DIN3, DIN7, HST3, HST7
- RTP4 -> DIN4, DIN8, HST4, HST8
- RTP1 -> HST1, HST5
- RTP2 -> HST2, HST6
- RTP3 -> HST3, HST7
- RTP4 -> HST4, HST8
