Network MIDI that just connects.
Open one app and every RTP-MIDI device on your network appears in seconds. One click connects a device to your computer; one guided flow points one device at another so MIDI flows with no computer in the middle. It reads and writes the configuration inside iConnectivity hardware over the network — no vendor tool, no USB cable — watches every link and redials a dropped one before anyone on stage notices.
What it does
- Every RTP-MIDI device on your network appears in seconds — no Audio MIDI Setup, no Directory pane, no jargon.
- One click connects a device to your computer; a guided flow points one device at another so MIDI flows with no laptop in the middle.
- Reads and writes iConnectivity hardware config over the network — port names, who calls whom, internal DIN/USB/RTP routing, preset slots — with no USB cable and no vendor app.
- Watches every link it knows about and redials a dropped one for you — “watch it for me” replaces the walk to the rack and the power-cycle.
- Plain-language diagnostics: it checks your rig and answers in sentences with the fix button attached, instead of handing you a manual.
- Projects apply themselves on launch — the session re-establishes itself, so a show never starts with “re-add the network session.”
- A read-only phone/web viewer over your LAN lets the band watch link health without touching the rig.
Built from the failure stories
The real competitor is the forum thread: the interface dropping RTP mid-set with a blank status page, the box that needed a power-cycle after every drop, the device duplicating itself under participants, the Windows machine where MIDI flows but discovery is blind. Every one of those is a documented field failure that smaRTPath detects, explains, fixes, or prevents.
It replaces Auracle for everything a working musician actually does — seeing devices, renaming ports, setting a port to call out or answer, routing inside the box, storing to preset slots — and it replaces the decade-old Network MIDI panel with a session that just applies itself.
