Hi!
We’re midi over wifi (like rtp midi) and midi over Bluetooth (like midi berry) implemented in midi translator pro for PC?
Hi,
RTP MIDI can be run on a PC as it is a network Protocol and can expose MIDI ports as local ports. Anything that exposes MIDI ports as local ports on a PC will work with Bome MIDI Translator Pro although Bome MIDI Translator Pro does not directly do networking. Once it is local it is standard MIDI.
For Bluetooth, again if it exposes MIDI as standard local MIDI then it works. The transport mechanism is not visible once it is a local MIDI port. Different manufacturers may have Bluetooth drivers that convert to standard MIDI.
With all this said if you want network connectivity, you can also use Bome Network Pro which will send MIDI over a network from Windows, Mac or Linux computers.

Thank you!
How can midi network pro be used with a windows PC and android tablet? Does Bome has an application for Android?
We currently do not have a product that works on Android.
Sorry!

there is midiHUB app for android that can work with RTP midi
the best method i have come across to connect midi over a network using wifi… or even a mobile network… is a application called virtualhere
i did a demonstration using a mobile phone, which is communicating the midi over the mobile network

Wow!!! Sounds incredible!!! I was looking for that kind of solutions, and also pure USB can be set!!! Woooooow!!!
But how a virtual android midi port can be transfered via this app? Also I see on option to transfer from PC to android…
the virtualhere server that is on the Android phone… makes the virtual connection directly to your PC and accesses it either over the mobile network… or via your wifi
virtualhere is a paid app, but has some extra uses, for me at least
not only for midi… but there are limitations on what the virtual connection can & cannot do… ie web Cameras may not work… audio interfaces wont work and bluetooth devices will also not work
so any devices that is not setup on the mainPC or mac, will not work
you can also use a mouse & keyboard which will pair to the virtualhere server
but its essential to make sure all your devices work on the main computer before testing out the server…
theres a free version of the virtualhere server for a PC or mac… and it will allow you to test it and understand how it works across 2 computers via wifi
the Android version of virtualhere is a paid app… with no trial or anything like that
so you need to be sure by testing out the free server version that will alow you to test a single connection
edit: btw there is no apple ios version of the virtualhere server…
Yes, all that you have said is clear. Web cam is working fine on my setup.
But, what if I use virtual android midi port, not a hardware? As I see virtual port can’t be transferred, so this app is not a substitute for RTPmidi(((((
And also as I see the data can’t be transferred from PC to android…
im unsure if the Android midi port would work… as that requires one to switch the setting which might affect the USB devices that are tied in via the usb-hub… but i would gather it wont work, thats my guess mind you
RTP midi will work fine if its running on the home computer in the background… that is where Bome Translator ports play there part
Data transferring is not really advisable… even though you can do it
as the trouble emerge is if the file transfer is interrupted, it may result in data corruption… but as you have noticed file transfers do work and are better carried out with a ethernet cable if just transferring files at home…
a different story if using across a mobile network…although it will work, you run the risk of file corruption if there is an interruption in the data stream to and from the android device
you mention the android application midihub
i have that app… and it does work with the RTPmidi… i managed to get it working once… and it was communicating alongside the Bome software… at which point you should be able to manipulate the midi & route it to where you want it to go
but i do believe the Android phone needs to be set into midi mode… which forces the change between USB midi(with virtualhere) and android midi
I see that you are not giving straight answers to the question I have posted.
Everything you say is not straight related to my exact questions.
Sorry, I haven’t get any new information from your posts except the existance of VirtualHere.
