Setting
Up Wireless MIDI
Resonator includes help getting started with wireless MIDI.
The instructions below are provided here as well for your
convenience. Please note that the links below refer to
third-party programs not provided by ThingTone Software.
Resonator is a wireless MIDI controller that works by
sending messages over a WIFI network to a server program
running on another computer. This server, called DSMI, then
relays messages to a music workstation running on that
computer or to a connected MIDI synthesizer. In order to
make music with Resonator and WIFI you will need a freely
available DSMI server program and suitable MIDI software or
hardware to produce the instrument sounds you want to hear.
For
Mac:
Download and run the DSMI Server for Mac
from Google
Code.
For
Windows: Download and run
DSMI Server for Windows
from Google
Code. Windows users will also need a virtual MIDI driver
such as LoopBe1
For
Linux:
Download and run DSMI Server for Linux
from Google
Code. Linux users will also need a working ALSA
configuration. More information is available from
the ALSA Project.
With a DSMI server running, next start a digital audio
workstation (DAW) such as Reaper, Renoise, or GarageBand.
The MIDI source representing Resonator (via DSMI) is called
"DSMIDIWiFi-out" and should be enabled as a MIDI input in
the DAW program. Now you are ready to play, perform,
compose, and record using Resonator and any number of
professional audio products that support MIDI.
