<div class="moz-cite-prefix">These Line 6 units are well respected
in the electric bass world, especially considering their moderate
price. I think bass players appreciate tight timing, and the low
lag may be one reason these units are popular. Also, they have
proven to be rugged enough to be "road-worthy". They can also
model the hi-frequency lossiness of cords, though that seems of
dubious value in your case.<br>

This weekend I will do some WiFi experiments and see how fast it
can go locally, using mrpeach udp and tcp classes. If it works,
one could use a wireless router which has no other task than
routing Pd audio, and the computer at the receiving end could be a
cheap headless board with no other task than receiving Pd audio
and converting it to analog. Together the receiving device could
be the size of a weight-watcher's lunch box, while at the
transmitter side the computer's built-in stuff is used. Maybe I'm
a bit naive here, anyway I'll report results from experiments.<br>

The case is unconventional because a
stereo line signal must be sent from the
computer. Professional wireless systems
assume mic or instrument. Consumer systems
do transmit stereo signal, but without
bothering too much about latency.<br>
<br>
Frankly, I did not expect the difficulty
to find a good solution. Initially I
wanted the wearable computer for a music
video which is to be recorded live with
sounds from natural objects. I bought the
FM transmitter so my cameraman will be
able to hear the music while he's filming.
For this purpose it is ideal. Then I
thought it would be good to use the
computer in it's wearable mode for public
performance. I figured that one of the
many wireless solutions would suit the
purpose, but didn't reckon with the
unusual requirements.<br>
<br>
Further searching brought me to a new
technology 'PurePath' from Texas
Instruments. It has a range comparable
with WiFi (30m), while it seems to work
with paired devices as in Bluetooth. I
haven't seen consumer products with this
technology, but development kits are
available. A rather convincing demo is
here:<br>

<br>
If this system can work with low latency
it could be perfect for wireless Pd.<span><font

For a wearable
live
performance
computer, I am
looking into
the<br>
options of
sending
wireless audio
from Pd to a
PA sound
system and<br>
other
listeners.<br>
<br>
In a first
experiment
I've tried a
Linex FM
transmitter.
Audio quality<br>
is good
enough, and FM
transmitters
do not
introduce
latency. This<br>
option is
cheap and
flexible, as
the signal can
be received by
simple<br>
radio's, which
are even built
into cell
phones and
media players.
I<br>
would need to
boost the
transmission a
bit to make it
more reliable.<br>
This will of
course make
the equipment
illegal. Even
then, the risk<br>
that someone
else is
transmitting a
stronger
signal on the
channel can<br>
not be
excluded.<br>
<br>
Another option
could be to
send audio
over Wifi.
This would
require<br>
WLAN to be
available, and
one extra
computer (with
audio
interface) as<br>
a receiver. To
avoid extra
latency the
audio should
be sent<br>
uncompressed,
like
[udpsend~] /
[udpreceive~]
can do it.
This has the<br>
risk of packet
loss and
serious
dropouts.<br>
<br>
I've been
searching for
2.4 GHz
wireless music
receivers and
found<br>
things like
this:<br>
<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
rel="nofollow"
href="http://www.sitecom.com/en/wireless-music-streamer/wl-061/p/203"
target="_blank">http://www.sitecom.com/en/wireless-music-streamer/wl-061/p/203</a>.
They<br>
seem to act
like external
soundcards for
your computer.
In Linux<br>
though I've
never managed
to properly
connect
multiple
soundcards
with<br>
Pd (in OSX
it's easy
using the
Aggregate
Device Editor
from Audio
MIDI<br>
Setup). Also I
guess these
devices
introduce huge
latency. With
audio<br>
over bluetooth
headsets I've
experienced
latencies up
to a second.<br>
<br>
Does anyone
use a
satisfactory
method in
practice, to
send audio
from<br>
Pd without
wires?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Katja<br>
