Network MIDI Interface
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.
Choosing an Interface
Option
Advertises on
When to use
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.
Security Considerations
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.
