Abstract:

In network music, latency is a common issue and can be caused by several factors. In this paper we present MIDI network streaming with Medusa, a distributed music environment. To ease the network connection for the end user, Medusa is implemented using different MIDI APIs: Portmidi, ALSA MIDI and JACK MIDI. We present the influence of the MIDI API choice in the system latency and jitter using the Medusa implementation.
