Hi all,
as the title suggests I'm looking for a way to broadcast MIDI events in real-time over the internet. I'm playing keyboards in a band in Germany but will move to China soon. Transmitting audio is tough through the internet as it consumes a lot of bandwidth and timing is hard to maintain. With MIDI it could be possible for me to remotely play the keyboard from China with the band members in Germany hearing it.
It's just a fancy idea and as I did some reading it seemed that some kind of RTP-MIDI is implemented in Apple's Mac OSX.
With VLC, pulseaudio, Jack and the like around it doesn't seem to be too much of a dream to set something like this up.
I have to say that I've got no experience with streaming any media (i.e. broadcasting) over RTP / UDP; it never actually worked.
Does anyone have an idea how to transmit MIDI from one machine and receive MIDI events on another one on the other side of the internet?
I would appreciate any comments on this.
