LISTENTO MIDI

LISTENTO already allows users to stream, listen to and record uncompressed multichannel audio remotely and in real time from anywhere in the world. The addition of comprehensive MIDI transmission functionality now allows LISTENTO Pro subscribers to simply and elegantly transmit real-time MIDI data directly from any DAW over the internet.

The transmission of MIDI data introduces new modes of interaction for remote collaborators: You can now work remotely with MIDI synthesizers, sound modules, or manage remote MIDI control surfaces while listening back to the results using LISTENTO with low latency. You can synchronize remote DAWs with transmitted or newly generated MTC timecodes. You can also stream audio and MIDI for real-time remote creative collaboration - work on tracks together, streaming beats and keyboard lines to each other.

There are many, but a nice example comes from Abbey Road Studios’ (Audiomovers’ parent company) Senior Engineer Andrew Dudman: “If you’ve got a remote performer that you really want to work with, you’ll be able to simply record their performances live as they happen and then be able to utilize any sound design elements you like at your end, such as instruments the performer might not have at their disposal. I think this will increase the use and benefit of remote collaboration tenfold.” “The potential for syncing up two computers is also exciting. With this technology, you can spread MIDI around very easily for a sync between different programs and computers. Using the built-in MTC generator, you can synchronize remote DAWs or video playback when streaming a scoring session between studios, so that you can sync video playback to audio coming from remote scoring session.”
