Hi Bome Team,
I would like to request native RTP-MIDI (AppleMIDI) support for the BomeBox.
I recently purchased a BomeBox with the intention of using it as a bridge between a hardware MIDI controller and my existing DIN MIDI devices.
The controller I use is MORTRIX, which is a standalone hardware MIDI controller with built-in RTP-MIDI support over Ethernet/Wi-Fi:
Unfortunately, I discovered that BomeBox currently supports Bome Network MIDI, but not native RTP-MIDI, so the two devices cannot communicate directly.
My ideal setup would be:
MORTRIX (RTP-MIDI over Wi-Fi/Ethernet)
↓
BomeBox
↓
DIN MIDI / USB MIDI
↓
Eventide, ENGL, etc.
This would create a completely computer-free solution and make the BomeBox an excellent bridge between modern network-based MIDI controllers and traditional MIDI hardware.
I know RTP-MIDI has been requested before, but I believe there are now more standalone hardware devices supporting RTP-MIDI, making native support even more valuable than when the original requests were made.
Thank you for considering this feature, and thank you for creating such a great product!
Best regards,
Jesper
