What's QmidiCtl ?

QmidiCtl is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast (https://llg.cubic.org/tools) and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows (https://nerds.de).

QmidiCtl was long ago designed for the Maemo enabled handheld devices, namely the late Nokia N900 and promoted to the Maemo Package repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl may still be found effective as a regular desktop application and recently as an Android application as well.

QmidiCtl is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.

Installation

Unpack the tarball and in the extracted source directory:

cmake [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=prefix] -B build

cmake --build build [--parallel Njobs]

and optionally as root:

[sudo] cmake --install build

Note that the default installation path prefix is /usr/local .

Configuration

QmidiCtl holds its settings and configuration state per user, in a file located as $HOME/.config/rncbc.org/QmidiCtl.conf. Normally, there's no need to edit this file, as it is recreated and rewritten everytime qmidictl is run.

Bugs

Plenty still, after all this is alpha software ;)
