Using rtpmidi from the Command Line
Did you know you can use rptmidi directly from the command line in a terminal? When used this way, the GUI (graphical user interface) is not used, and Bonjour is skipped as well. Instead, each invocation of the rtpmidi program creates a new Session that can be a Session Listener or Session Initiator. Working at this level you can connect if you know the hostname or IP-Address of each computer, as well as the port the RTP-MIDI session is listening on.
Command line mode can also come in handy if you are developing a “headless” embedded computer application like the Zynthian Raspberry Pi Synthesizer.
Read on for detailed examples and explanations.
