When using multiple computers, the application retains the last used connection and attempts to ﬁnd those that are available to reconnect automatically. ChordPolyPad! 19 Windows and Linux To use the wireless Midi connection (Network Session) on Windows or Linux, you must install a RTP Midi compatible driver. For more information on this protocol, please visit the following page: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/rtpmidi/ The installation should be similar to that described for Mac OS X above. IMPORTANT: When using RTP Midi on Windows or Linux, please disable "Midi Network auto connect" in the "Setup" Midi menu that is not compatible with some drivers (notes not played , loss of sync, ...).
