Greetings,

QmidiCtl [1] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data
over the network, using UDP/IP multi-cast. It has been designed primarily
for the Maemo [3] enabled handheld devices, namely the Nokia N900 [4]. In
its current development state, which is obviously alpha as of this
writing,
it puts a mini multi-track recording control surface on your hands and
on-the-go, so to speak. MMC is the feature and yours truly Qtractor [5]
the
target. However, any other MMC enabled DAW may be considered.

However nothing of this would be possible without this little thing that
gets also here its release announcement: QmidiNet [2] is a MIDI network
gateway application that sends and receives MIDI data (ALSA Sequencer)
over
the network, using UDP/IP multi-cast. Fundamentally inspired by
multimidicast [6] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI [7] for
Windows, it's a little tiny application that sits as an icon on your
system
tray and exposes one or more ALSA Sequencer client ports which open the
way
for a MIDI network mesh. Pretty neat if you think wireless and not
necessarily because of QmidiCtl [1].

Alas, you can transform any Linux/ALSA computer (or Windows/ipMIDI [7]
enabled one, if you dare to)  into a MIDI-over-IP inter-connected node.

Be free, without cables :)
