 Hints:
   * midimonster takes very low processing power (at least in my tests with 4 universes converted)
-  * at least in my tests it was not possible to make this work with MIDIMonster directly on the console: it does run but doesn't output as required - the nodes see the universes but there is no data. I believe it is not possible to have two applications on the same machine which both attempt to send to the same port, and one also listens to the other.

   * make sure that all network addresses are correct, and that firewalls are off or have the required rules set.

 ===== Trivia =====
+==== Picture: my test drive ====
 Yes, I really did try this with some computers (and Wireshark and sACN View - and the network switch is in the middle...)

+==== Video: another test, on a D9 ====
 And yes, I also tried running this directly on a console (and made one of those shaky videos with my mobile phone):

+==== Another idea: Raspberry Pi ====
+And very finally: [[https://midimonster.net/download.html|MIDIMonster]] is available for Windows, for OSX, and for Linux. Of course the next idea would be to run this on a Raspberry Pi. But this is probably something for someone else to do. Please let me know if you want to go down this route :-) .
