And could optionally use ptp (precision time protocol) Ethernet interface so that the local network clocks are synced to sub-microsecond precision, and so can put timestamps on the midi messages so they can be properly sequenced.
And for increases reliability, incorporate with AVB which uses stream reservation to ensure priority packets can get sent.
- prox 5y agoSeems you guys should start up :) Btw I think the hard part is probably not he implementation of Ethernet, but getting hardware vendors on board. Midi 2.0 needed a lot of companies to be on board for the change. Perhaps if you make adapters and translate devices to help folks transition.
- squarefoot 5y agoThere already are adapters around and software/libraries to build applications to tunnel MIDI over IP, but the hard part IMO is to define a standard so that different products can talk together. Small Ethernet capable microcontrollers are cheap, so once a standard is defined it would be easier to implement it on devices. https://www.thomann.de/gb/bome_bomebox.htm https://www.thomann.de/gb/bome_bomebox.htm https://openmuse.org/transport/mip_oview.html https://openmuse.org/transport/mip_oview.html http://www.linuxsampler.org/ethernetmidi/ http://www.linuxsampler.org/ethernetmidi/ https://qmidinet.sourceforge.io/ https://qmidinet.sourceforge.io/ etc.
