    unless RDC allows the midi data to pass through the connection and the software on the other end is not looking for a local midi device my guess it no. Still it's a guess and I never tired it so there's only one real way to find out.

    Hi NilsPils,

    - If I understand the question correctly, you should be able to continue to connect to the Mac Pro over Remote Desktop while a midi device is connected to your MackBook Pro.

    - The midi device will be accessible via the Mack Book Pro only.
