that's an odd question. midi is sort of inherently networked. anybody
in the loop can talk to anybody else, assuming they have anything valid
to say to each other. and why a ring? the standard midi network configuration
is a star (which my partner insists i refer to as a buss), and is implemented
by a midi patcher. what purposes are here? that would help clear this up a
little. in brief answer... no. i've never heard of any explicit midi
networking software. several people are working on what might be called
'studio handlers', that up/download and distribute multiple files with a
single 'snapshot' command, but that's sort of it.
