A wireless ZigBee Enabled Evolver???

2007-03-22 by Tom

I'm looking for an analog synth I can use with a new wireless protocol
called ZigBee. Evolver comes to mind. I want to control small
distributed synths either thru MIDI or CV. Routing MIDI, CV or
anything really is no big deal using ZigBee technology. The synth
module could be almost anywhere and can be moved within range of a
ZigBee device that has a compatable profile. This would not be a wire
replacement product, like a wireless microphone. These little guys are
smart. Kind of like the way bees communicate by zig zagging around
passing messages from bee to bee. They know where they are and who
they are talking to. If you want them to hook up with other devices,
just send them a message and tell them to and they will try and find
them together. All this can be done on the fly, on the internet, on a
PC app, or with just another ZigBee Device. Using the local wireless
network the latency would not be detected at the level CV or MIDI
works. They are very small, cheap and use almost no power. This is
being called the internet of things.  I think the chaining and
interactive capabilities of Evolver fits into this kind of high
concept development. At the very least I will have another mad-science
rig to play with. Do you think Evolver would work in this kind of
application?
