yay, "ported" MIDI to WiFi.
on a pi pico W, using C++ and the pico-sdk.
Currently a short python script on a PC plays MIDI files to UDP broadcast, adding a timestamp in microseconds since 1900.
the pi pico receives and qs them until they're due for playing.
the pi pico synchronizes time through NTP
NTP has seconds (32bit) and fractions (32bit) since 1900 as time basis.
So I decided for a crossover and use microseconds since 1900 as time basis to make it convenient and lightweight for the rx side.
one of the next targets will be the #CCC #flow3r, and a pi pico that turns it back to oldschool #MIDI
@mazzoo Are you aware of RTP-MIDI?
@dos yes I am. my actual purpose won't be (just) playing notes or other MIDI stuff, this is just a first step/layer.
Is RTP-MIDI a thing? I see it in no products. Apple has it, but is it also being used (widely)?
