Hi Parisians,

I've just managed to sync my PARIS PC ( Win XP ) up to my Cubase PC ( Win 8 ) using rtpMIDI.

http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/rtpmidi.html

rtpMIDI uses the network port of the computer to connect via MIDI.

Install driver on each machine. Also works on MAC yet I can't test that since I don't have one.

Each computer needs to be connected through TCP/IP.
PARIS machine I have as 192.168.2.1
Cubase machine is 192.168.2.2

I have 2 network ports on the Cubase machine, so it's other port is 192.168.1.119 and connects it to the rest of my network. PARIS is only connected to the Cubase machine which isn't sharing resources. So the interconnecting cable only has to transport the MTC.

I am connected over a 1Gb network and rtpMIDI is claiming 0ms Latency.

Open the software and create a session on each computer.

On the PARIS computer I called it PARIS rtpMIDI.
On the Cubase computer I called it Cubase rtpMIDI.

As long as the computers can PING each, rtpMIDI should now show the other computer in the Directory box.
Cubase rtpMIDI on the PARIS machine.
PARIS rtpMIDI on the Cubase machine.

Open PARIS and in the project open the MIDI Devices windows.
Set PARIS rtpMIDI to send MTC signals clicking the box on the right.

In Cubase, I'm using Version 5, open the Project Synchronisation Setup found in the Transport menu.
In the MIDI Timecode Source box select Cubase rtpMIDI as the MTC input.
Make sure that Use External Sync is selected. It is also in the Transport Menu.

As long as I haven't forgotten anything, Cubase should be synced to PARIS.

Not sure if anyone has tried using Ethernet to sync PARIS yet couldn't find anything about it in my searches here.

Dean
