Abstract
As the protocol used to transmit the MIDI message, TCP and UDP used widely as the transmission protocol are employed. A player terminal on the transmitter side classifies the transmitted MIDI message into the system exclusive message that should never be lost absolutely and other MIDI message. The player terminal on the transmitter side transmits the system exclusive message by using TCP with high reliability and transmits other MIDI message by using UDP with low reliability.
