MidiHub - Virtual Midi Networkports in Android
Hello all,
I have a question about connecting an Android (Samsung Galaxy Tab A8) to one of my mioXMs via Network.
The background of this question is my attempt to have multiple virtual midi connctions from my tablet to the mioXM.
I tried to use an App called MidiHub that provides 6 virtual RTP-Midi ports that can be freely assigned to any other app on the tablet.
Sadly I was not able to establish a working/stable connection from the tablet to the mioXM.
The tablet does not reliably "see" the available connections but I was able to send test midi to one of my mios.
The devices are connected via a network-switch and I followed the naming conventions and had the right port enabeled.
Has anyone had success with connecting an Android tablet via network to a mio-device?
This would be so useful because it would be possible to use the virtual midi connections then.
I use touchOSC for a lot of my devices over usb-midi. This is limited to one connection with 16 channels.
I would be so cool to have at least 2-3 connections over RTP-Midi because one could send messages to multiple devices from within one touchOSC template.
Would be so cool for live-use.
One page for each device could be a possible use-case.
I tried it with MidiHub https://abrahamwisman.com/midihub
Maybe someone has a suggestion for another RTP-Midi App for Android as well?
Thank´s in advance for any input or suggestions.

I've done it on an iPad. You have to put the RTP port into Initiator mode and use the iPad's name as the Bonjour Name.
I'm not sure what an Android device would use or if there are any RTP MIDI connections softwares.
Something I'll have to look into more.
On the computer when you create a network session the app can see this session on the network.
If I can a connection fom my mioXL to the same session and route the session to send out with Live Routings I can make it work.
I'll test some more and try getting it to work with a device connected to the mioXL going directly to the Android.
I can get the IP of my phone and it shows connected but MIDIHub isn't understanding that's connected and doesn't seem to pass the data.
I've been using my keyboard today to play synths in FL Studio mobile.
Check out this horribly made video.
Note: You can find your IP by going into Settings>Connections>Wi-Fi> Select the gear icon by the network you are connected on.
On the bottom of page select "view more" and you should see IP in the last section of page.
In fact it is very good, informative and even the sound is very good and understandable.
I am excited because I think I know what I was doing wrong all the time.
I thought I had to name the ports according to the way it works between the actual mio devices.
But I have to put in the ip of the Android device. I will try this asap.
One thing still itches me: Is this all doable with only a android device, a mio and a network switch?
Maybe by setting the devices to fixed ip?
Thank you very much for helping by making this video.
