MarkIVOIP

2005-04-27 by Bob Colopy

Like Yamaha's e-competition with their Pro series used for distance 
performances, can the Mark IV be performed in real time over the internet 
using another Mark IV in some distant location.

Since the Mark IV can be played now via the USB 2.0 port and I believe 
(though I haven't done it) it can export its midi signals to other midi 
instruments then why shouldn't it be able to be played remotely in real 
time over the internet - even if there is a slight delay for cuing of packets.

Then, one can hire someone in a mountain cabin in Alaska to play for a Maui 
party and even respond to party goers requests in real time. It provides a 
unique service for Mark IV pianists and is an impressive demo for Yamaha - 
a win-win for all.

If VOIP (Voice Over IP) works then it seems MarkIVOIP is possible.

Thanks,

Bob
