Operational Concept • Playing music alone is not fun!!! • Develop your talents • Share musical ideas
Features • Sending and receiving real time audio • Online community to pair up players • Allow players to communicate with each other • Play with a metronome (optional) • Record a jam session (optional)
System Architecture • Musicians play electronic instruments that produce MIDI control data • MIDI Wire Packetization Protocol (MWPP) will be used to send MIDI control data MIDI output MIDI output MWPP
Life Cycle Plan • Current applications are not accessible to general users • No product in commercial use that brings all of our proposed features together • As network infrastructure and protocols mature the technology may be extended to professional players. • The possibilities! Virtual bands and concerts.
Feasibility Rationale • Some network latency and packet losses are inevitable but can be mitigated • MIDI data is highly compact • MWPP can be used over a WAN • Amateur needs can be meet with current technology
