graphical application sending MIDI Machine Control commands over the network

 The MIDI Machine Control specification defines commands like Play,
 Pause and Record for remote control of audio recording equipment.
 .
 Originally inspired by multimidicast, the qmidictl application
 imitates a MIDI control surface, on which the user selects commands
 to send over the network using UDP/IP multicast.
 Programs like qmidinet on Linux or ipMIDI on Windows can then forward
 the commands, for example to a concrete cable.
