For more information on this protocol, please visit the following page: The installation should be similar to that described for Mac OS X above. IMPORTANT: When using RTP Midi on Windows or Linux, please disable "Midi Network auto connect" in the "Setup" Midi menu that is not compatible with some drivers (notes not played, loss of sync,...).
