Choose which network interface to use for RTP-MIDI connections.
The Network MIDI Interface setting controls which of the MVP's network connections (Ethernet or Wi-Fi) advertises the RTP-MIDI session.
It lives in the System Settings dialog, under the Network MIDI Interface expandable panel.

Ethernet
eth0
Default. Use for fixed installations, FOH-to-stage runs, and any show where latency and jitter must be minimised.
Wi-Fi
wlan0
Use when the MVP is connected over Wi-Fi and no Ethernet is available.
Performance Note: RTP-MIDI over Wi-Fi is more susceptible to latency and jitter than Ethernet. For critical live performances, select Ethernet whenever a hardwired connection is available. See Network MIDI (RTP-MIDI) Setup for full network setup instructions.
When Wi-Fi is selected, anyone on the same Wi-Fi network can discover and connect to the MVP's RTP-MIDI session. Do not use RTP-MIDI over Wi-Fi on public or untrusted networks.
On a trusted private Wi-Fi network (e.g., a dedicated show network), this is safe.
On public Wi-Fi (e.g., a venue's guest network), use Ethernet instead, or ensure the Wi-Fi network is isolated and password-protected.
