The world's first MIDI-over-network drivers for both PC and Mac! (available exclusively with the Musi-Can64 and Two-Can64)
With up to 256 individual MIDI ports for each Coyote R&D system, you have a low latency, low jitter, fat MIDI pipe with up to 3000x times the speed of a MIDI cable, all automatically configured.
Each MIDI output port on each system attached to your network shows up as a standard MIDI output port on your computer. Each Coyote R&D system can support as many as 256 individual MIDI ports with each port supporting 16 MIDI channels, and you can have as many systems as you want on your network -- up to a theoretical 4 billion.
Our NetMIDI drivers are currently available for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP and Macintosh OS 8.x-9.x (with OMS) and OS X. FreeMIDI can use OMS, so Performer users under OS 8.x-9.x as well as users of Logic,
Cubase, and ProTools can benefit from NetMIDI. The NetMIDI drivers appear as a regular MIDI interface under OMS, so there is no need for an emulator. The drivers work over a standard TCP/IP ethernet connection -- you just plug in the system to any standard network and immediately start using it. They are fully automatic -- there's no setup involved, no configuring of IP addresses, no routing of signals.
Typically, with an average system, the latency will be in the range of 1.5-10ms. For instance, using a Powerbook G3 500MHz with Cubase VST 5.0, an Edirol (Roland) USB MIDI adapter, a Coyote R&D system system configured with the M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 soundcard (1.5ms card latency), and a router/switcher for a 100base-T network, overall latency varies between 2-3ms (that's a 1.5ms +-1ms jitter figure). |
