This would probably use a common carrier such as the phone company. Has anyone seen any available hardware/software solutions to do this?

The one big stumbling block that I ran into was that I did not have a modem that could go 31.25K baud. I had it working over the phone at 1200 baud with some simple plucking on the keyboard, but it all went to hell when I tried to send controller information or Sysex. I suppose if one had the appropriate communications equipment such as a 48,000 baud modem something could be accomplished. It's quite simple to route MIDI information to the modem port. +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | _&_ | | / \ | | | | | | | (0)(0) Eric McCormick | | C .---_) | | | |.___| MCI Telecommunications | | | \__/ | | /_____\ 0004775674@MCIMAIL.COM | | /_____/ \ | | / \ | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jul 1992 10:52:42 EDT From: ronin Subject: midi2 ok, so i know we're a lazy bunch. i myself haven't posted half the things i've (sort of) promised. but... has any enterprising loon out there put together the electronic version of the midi 2.0 release? even if the spec hasn't been officially printed (has it?) i know that there have been enough articles on it to provide the requisite data. and would anyone care to reference those articles? i don't actually get many industry rags, and EM (which i decided to let lapse, only to discover that i'm paid up for another two years... blecch) just doesn't do it. ao, and speaking of EM... would someone here who actually bothers to email them (i never use the commercial networks myself) mind telling them that their columnar format for product comparisons is unreadable? the grey stripes should go horizontally, not vertically, so that one can trace a spec across the the two pages without drifting. simple, thin, black vertical lines would take care of the vertical differentiation. sheesh... someone there should really read Tufte, you know? -----------< Cognitive Dissonance is a 20th Century Art Form >----------- Eric Harnden (Ronin) or The American University Physics Dept. 4400 Mass.

I want to get some info on their MIDITAP hardware.
