Abstract
Techniques for distributing MIDI tracks across a network using non-real-time protocols such as TCP/IP. Included are techniques for producing MIDI tracks from MIDI streams as the MIDI streams are themselves produced and distributing the MIDI tracks across the network, techniques for dealing with the varying delays involved in distributing the tracks using non-real-time protocols, and techniques for saving the controller state of a MIDI track so that a user may begin playing the track at any point during its distribution across the network. Network services based on these techniques include distribution of continuous tracks of MIDI music for applications such as background music, distribution of live recitals via the network, and participatory music making on the network ranging from permitting the user to 'play along' through network jam sessions to using the network as a distributed recording studio.
