4 - Using CM-MIDI with iOS devices over WiFi
All iOS devices (iPad/iPod/iPhone) support RTP-MIDI since iOS version 4.2. This link is called “MIDI Network”
by Apple. However, since iOS devices do not have a cabled Ethernet connection, the MIDI Network can only be
used over WiFi.
Note that the MIDI Network connection can be used in parallel with a USB MIDI interface connected to the
30-pins connector or Lightning port of Apple products. So you can have two MIDI interfaces on the same devices
when you use RTP-MIDI with iOS. Moreover, the RTP-MIDI link is not bandwidth limited compared to the USB port.
It must be noticed that RTP-MIDI is not only powerful, but it allows you to reach much better capabilities than
solutions using proprietary network protocols, not supported at all in iOS, and forced to pass over the USB
connector to reach a network...
We have created a specific document explaining in detail the configuration process of the complete WiFi
setup in order to use the CM-MIDI as an interface for the iOS devices. You can find this document in the “Manuals”
section of the download page of KissBox website:

MIDI over WiFi with iPad)
5 - Using CM-MIDI with KissBox CVToolbox
The CM-MIDI is the ideal partner of the KissBox CVToolbox. It can be used to provide a MIDI 1.0 DIN
interface to the CVToolbox, which allows to use it without any computer in communication process. You can then
control the CVToolbox directly from a master keyboard for example, using its MIDI OUT connector. Note that the
CVToolbox accepts to open multiple sessions in parallel, so you can perfectly use the CM-MIDI to control the
CVToolbox, while the CVToolbox itself is being edited from the VSTizer plugin.
The CVToolbox does not provide MIDI OUT data for normal use (MIDI OUT is used only by configuration
process, which is performed in all cases by the VSTizer plugin directly over the Ethernet network). The second
MIDI endpoint of the CM-MIDI is then perfectly suited for this application when it is configured as a MIDI input.
