hi,
I have ubuntu 9.10 linux box with old Soundblaster Live card, which has MIDI i/o. On my mac I don't have midi, and would like to ask if there exists some easy way to send MIDI data from linux to mac over ethernet, and in mac read the MIDI data for csound?

I've been googling around, but haven't found anything concrete. One thing was to send via OSC, but I'd like to send pure MIDI for csound and grace.

TIA

Why don't you use a csound reading MIDI in the Linux machine, sending  
OSC over ethernet to your Mac, which then reads OSC.

This works well; I did a demo to students in class with a keyboard  
connected to my laptop and sound playing from one of the lab
machines, over ethernet via OSC. Something like this:

gio OSCinit 44101

instr 1
ktrig init 1
k1 cpsmidib 1
i1 ampmidi 0dbfs
if ktrig == 1 then
kinst rand 1000, 2
kinst = 2 + abs(kinst)/1000
OSCsend 0,"10.204.24.79",44100, "/instr2","fffff",kinst,0,-1,i1, k1
OSCsend 0,"10.204.24.73",44100, "/instr2","fffff",kinst,0,-1,i1, k1
OSCsend 0,"10.204.24.75",44100, "/instr2","fffff",kinst,0,-1,i1, k1
OSCsend 0,"10.204.24.76",44100, "/instr2","fffff",kinst,0,-1,i1, k1
ktrig = 0
endif
ktag release
if ktag == 1 then
OSCsend 0,"10.204.24.79",44100, "/instr2","fffff",-kinst,0,1,i1, k1
OSCsend 0,"10.204.24.73",44100, "/instr2","fffff",-kinst,0,-1,i1, k1
OSCsend 0,"10.204.24.75",44100, "/instr2","fffff",-kinst,0,-1,i1, k1
OSCsend 0,"10.204.24.76",44100, "/instr2","fffff",-kinst,0,-1,i1, k1
turnoff
endif

thanks, it's just been long time, since I last made any instruments in csound, so it'll take some time to get everything right.

Maybe you could look at the various midi over lan solutions?
just a few quick links, I haven't checked linux compatibility, but I'm
sure there must be something ...
