2.3 - Configuring the CM-MIDI
2.3.1 - Get the free tools
The KissBox Editor is a free tool used to configure and maintain all KissBox products, including the RTP-MIDI
ones. It is available both for Mac OS and Windows platforms. Note that both versions of the KissBox Editor provide
the same commands and menus.
You can download the KissBox Editor on KissBox website (“downloads” page). You can also use the “RTP-
MIDI Editor” tool, which is a simplified version of the KissBox Editor, dedicated to RTP-MIDI devices configuration.
We recommend you to always use the latest version available, to make sure that you are able to access the
latest functionalities implemented in the KissBox products.
IMPORTANT : the CM-MIDI requires KissBox Editor V11.x minimum.
You can easily check the KissBox Editor version if needed, once it is installed. On Windows computers, click
the “About” menu. On Mac computers, open “KissBox Editor” and click “About KissBox Editor”. The version will be
displayed in an information window like the following one:
2.3.2 - KissBox Editor installation
The KissBox Editor is delivered as a self installing package both for Windows and Mac OS platforms.
On Windows machines, execute the program named “setup.exe”.
On Mac OS machines, open the dmg installation package
Just follow the instructions given by the installer once the installer is running.
Once installed, we recommend you to go in the “Network” menu in order to configure the maximum reply
time allowed when you try to connect to a CM-MIDI. Go in the the “Reply TimeOut” menu and select the value you
want to use.
By default, the value is set to 5 seconds when the KissBox Editor is installed. This high value allows to work
with any network, including over WiFi and Internet (yes, you can access to the CM-MIDI via Internet... Just try to
do it with products based on non-IP protocols...)
You can safely use the value of 0.5 seconds if you will access to the CM-MIDI via cabled Ethernet networks
only.
If you intend to use WiFi networks, you may need to use 1 second or 2 seconds reply timeout values.
2.3.3 - Configuration of CM-MIDI IP address
The KissBox Editor uses the network to communicate with the KissBox modules, so you will need to know
the address of the modules before configuring them. All KissBox modules use a default IP configuration when they
leave the factory (address 192.168.0.253 / subnet 255.255.255.0).
