** QmidiCtl - A MIDI Remote Controller via UDP/IP Multicast [5] **

   QmidiCtl 0.9.1 (winter'20) is released!

QmidiCtl [5] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI 
data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast 
[15] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI [15] for Windows. 
QmidiCtl [5] was long ago designed for the Maemo [17] enabled handheld 
devices, namely the late Nokia N900 [18] and promoted to the Maemo 
Package [18] repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl [5] may still be found 
effective as a regular desktop application and recently as an Android 
application as well.
