MidiShare Internet Drivers 
version française
The MidiShare Internet Drivers provides
real-time communication over Internet to MidiShare client applications.
These drivers are two separate shared libraries :
- msLANDriver.dylib : provides low latency real-time communication
restricted to local array networks. It includes automatic recognition
of remote hosts.
- msWANDriver.dylib : provides real-time communication over Internet.
Remote host connection is controlled by the user using an .ini
file.
Both drivers have the following common characteristics:
- remote hosts appears as MidiShare slots.
To setup connections to these slots, uses the 'msDrivers' application.
- as remote clients provides a unique identifier
with their IP address, their connections state is saved and automatically
restored using this identifier.
- their behavior is controlled by a .ini
file (msLANDriver.ini and msWANDriver.ini). These files should
be located in your $HOME/MidiShare folder. When not found, default
values are used for the parameters (see each driver page).
The MidiShare WAN driver is the base of
the Radio
Hard Disk project which notably consists in a permanent music
broadcasting over Internet.
The MidiShare Internet Drivers are part
of the MidiShare
project. They have been developed by the Grame's Computer Music Research Laboratory, in collaboration
with the company Mil
Productions.
