Struggling to get three computers networked. I have two computers that well, but for the life of me, I can’t get the third computer to talk. I basically need one computer (my master) to send midi to the other two slave computers. THe master is named “sanctuary”, one slve is names “broadcast” and the other “mixer”. I am using a mini monitor to see signals sent and recieved. All three are Mac Mini’s using Ventura 13.6.7. Tried boht Bome Network 1.5 and 1.6.
This is from the computer not receiving midi.

Hi Steve - thank you for getting back to me. Yes - all three machines are connected. I am using Propresenter 7 from the sanctuary computer to send the midi commands. The broadcast mac receives them fine, but I can’t get the mixing-mac to receive. In the monitor window on the mixing mac, i see no incoming activity.
I think it may have something to do with the way I have the midi routing set up ? Attaching a screen shot if that may help. - Do I need to use “virtual ports” or the “midi routing” ?
Could you show screenshots of the routes on all 3 machines? By default the BomeBox will create the necessary virtual ports for each machine. These virtual ports created allow a bridge to the physical ports.
You should not have to do any routing if your application just selects the port by machine name (unless you want mutiple distict paths between different applications on the same machine).

… and I don’t know if this would change anything, but my objective once I get this third computer online is to load miditranslater so that I can have my propresenter machine send midi note messages to this machine and have it translate to CC messages so the Berhringer Wing console will change snapshots.
OK, so far everything looks normal except in one of your screenshots, it shows that “Sanctuary-PP” is offline.
What output ports have you selected in Pro-Presenter? Should I assume you want to send MIDI from Pro-Presenter on “Brodcast-Mac” to both “Mixing-Mac” and “Sanctuary-PP”? If so, then you need to select both “Mixing-Mac” and “Sancuary-PP” as your output ports withing Pro-Presenter.
Then if you have Bome MIDI Translator Pro loaded on “Mixing-Mac”, then there, you would select port “Broadcast-Mac” for input and then whatever you target application or device is for output.
What is “Mixer”? Is this a physical device?
The path for the settings file would be:

I think I figured out what the issue is, but I am not sure why this happens. So, if for any reason the mixing computer (a slave) loses its connection over Bome, I have to restart the master computer (Sanctuary) and then restart Propresenter. It’s weird because on the other slave (broadcast), I do not need to restart anything. It all just reconnects behind the scene and works.
On the bright side - once I figured that out, I was able to load Midi Translator and get the incoming midi signals to change programs on the Behringer wing sound mixing console. YAY !
invalid socket. Create a new listening socket.
