nope, no 3rd party app needed at all. did not even have to install the drivers for the network adapter either. This was all built into Mac's Core Midi functions. Just open your system preferences and activate Network-Midi. I'll have to double check the actual steps, but this should be easy to find if you search in Mac's Finder.

Is that using OSC? Did you need a 3rd party app to make it work?

actually there's a quicker fix for this. We had 7 Mac laptops linked together via Midi over the Ethernet-Midi network. We performed this 7-laptop scenario in front of audience of 50 people or so, it was an event called Slammo! in Oregon back in September. It worked incredibly well and I hope to get a bunch of musicians together again for an 09 version. We had a master computer sending midi-out, then his cat-5 cable went into a Linksys 8-port internet router. The router then sent 6 other cables out to our Mac's. Each computer selected Network-Midi as the incoming signal. In Ableton's preferences menu, under the midi assignment page, you will see a Delay Compensator adjustor for Midi signals. we started with -9 milliseconds and adjusted it from there. This is usually the standard midi latency coming from Ableton. Your master does not need to be adjusted, but all of your slaves do. Keep playing with this until it's tight. You want to be able to hit Play on the master computer, and have all the others fall in suit. I highly suggest turning on your metronomes on each computer to make sure all is good. hope this helps!

you should also make sure that everyone starts at the same BPM when the master hits play, otherwise the midi sync will drift.

In the Preferences under MIDI, only tick 'SYNC' for the output you want to send clock out on...do not tick 'TRACK' or 'REMOTE' and that should do the trick. Unless it doesn't.

what are people doing to move midi clock data around (without sending other midi information)? we're trying to optimize 3 lappys and a bunch of gear. thanks, chendo
