at the moment Im doing a project where people can jam music over the
internet using midi, Im not exactly far into it at the moment but what I do
have successfully set up is the ability for 2 people to play together no
matter where they are, all they need do is fill in the right ip address of
the other person, Im using netsend and netrecieve, Ive the ablity to change
volume and pitch at the moment, and it all changes in the other persons
computer, big broblem Im coming across is I need to figure out a way of
getting more than 2 people doing it withouth having to put in a load of
objects for each person(volume,instrument, pitch, effects, etc). I dunno if
this is the kinda thing you were talking about, I hope you get it going,
maybe Ill be able to get a few tips from you, as I am a very inexperienced

hi list,
i'm starting up a new project involving internet collaboration on live
performances of music and video. i have a concept in mind that might
work with this, and i'd like to hear if people who know more about these
sorts of things think it might be feasible and if i should spend time
learning enough to be able to pull it off.
the project i'm imagining would work with a patch that each end of the
collaboration had an identical copy of (as well as any samples or
anything). no when you are performing with the patch, a change you make
to a variable will be changed at your end, and also sent (via osc or
something) to the other end and change the same variable there. if
effect this would be two people in remote locations controlling the same
interface at the same time.
now, the idea i've been toying with involves how to make it more
apparent what your cohort on the other end is doing. i would want to
make it so that whenever he altered a value, the slider/checkbox/etc on
your end would not only change to his value, but also change to a
certain color (or maybe a canvas object behind the control object would
change color) and then slowly fade back to the normal color over time. i
imagine this to be a little like the "track changes" feature on your
favorite word processor, but with the added bonus that you could get an
idea of the timeline of his fiddlings as well.
so to people with experience in the graphical programming behind Pd: is
this something that might be feasible? should i spend time learning the
necessary background to make it happen, or is it something that just
can't be done with the way things are now and i shouldn't even waste my
time? thanks for any advice you can give me, and sorry for the length.
matt
